Game Over Arsenal?

I watched the first half of the London Derby yesterday night. It has been an entertaining match so far, with the half time score 3-2. Guess what, it was Tottenham to come out with the smile on their faces after 90 minutes, by stealing a point from Arsenal, again. Final score? 3-3. I am wondering that whether Cesc Fabregas will still stay at the club after yet can possibly be another disappointing season at Arsenal. 


One of the biggest problems of Arsenal is their defensive line. When Manchester United won three league champions in a row between 2007 to 2009, their defense was almost unbeatable with Vidic and Ferdinand played as Central Defenders and of course their keeper, Van Der Sar. When Chelsea won back to back league title during season 2004-05, 05-06, they got John Terry + Gallas or Carvalho and also Petr Cech. Now, you understand what I am trying to tell. Sorry to Arsenal fans. Unless Wenger willing to open his cheque book to bring in a world class defender this summer (Neither Koscielny nor Djourou is good enough for Arsenal) to play along side Vermaelen, and maybe sign a better and experienced keeper (Shay Given?), or else there will be no chance for Arsenal to crown league champion, I mean no chance in hell. As a football fans, I would love to see Arsenal crowns Champion once again. However, we have to realize the truth that playing sexy football does not guarantee you a League Champion, not even a League Cup. 

I always remember what Arsene Wenger always said after his team dropped point, 'It's not over yet'. The fact is, Chelsea has climbed to the second place by goal difference after defeated Birmingham City 3-1 (Oops, Fernando's scoring drought goes on....). In my opinion, if Carlo Ancelotti lost his job this summer, there would be ridiculous for Wenger to keep his job as the manager of Arsenal Football Club. 




Lesson of the day:
Offense wins you fans, Defense wins you Champions.
