the pressure on Arsene Wenger

It is a hard moment for my pally. I seriously love this coach so much.
But at the moment, he seems to be fading away. I think the football club has held him for so long because his past records had been great.
Forget past, this is the present! What we want is at least a trophy.
Other good coaches like Mourinho had been sacked. Even Mark Hughes this season was sacked by Man. City.
It is high time we overlook pretty football and go for the right. Are there not coaches out there like Frank Rijkaard formally at Barcelona.
I am frustrated to see teams like Chelsea and Man. Utd beating us home and away.
I know it is tough, but what makes it tougher is that Wenger had the money at his disposal to buy quality players. Did Man. Utd not do so and win the Premier league and Champions League in 2008.
It is left for the board to decide at this crucial moment. For me, I would prefer him (Wenger) to go on too conditions;
1. That he has refuse to break his stern policy of using inexperienced and young stars.
2. He refused to buy outstanding players that would produce results like they did for Man. Utd
3. He is becoming outdated and the fans are getting frustrated
4. We do not just want to be profitable financially, but also in trophies!

That is all for now.

English Premiership This Season

As we cut through the first half of the season, it seems we can finally begin to point some teams that would make some great impact this season.

I see Tottenham or Man. City claiming that vital fourth position despite the resurgence of Liverpool.

I give my bet that Liverpool can win the uefa cup, but don't expect them to finish in the top spot. That means they would have to settle for the European Cup just as they did in the 2001/02 season (correct me if I'm wrong).

But think about Arsenal and Chelsea this season. I feel Arsenal can claim the premiership title this season, if not the FA Cup.

Chelsea may win even the Champions League this season; all things being equal. That is, they would have to stay fit all season, and they cannot do it if they hope to win the FA cup and the Premiership title this season.

It has only been done by Barcelona and it's impossible to repeat such fit this time around!
