it would have been.....

a superb weekend if i had a satellite tv, so i could watch my favorite football clubs in action this weekend. arsenal are going to meet their archest rival in premier league at home and everyone, including me, hoping that they can get through this without fail. man utd are currently third and facing enormous mission at emirates to win the match, so they can move closer to league leaders liverpool. whilst, man utd are enjoying one of their best moments in premier league history, arsenal are currently experiencing one of the worst, if not the worst, season in history. winter has yet to come and 08/09 season still far from over but i already have mountain of doubts with my arsenal.  losing from minnows and drawing away from home are not helping our season with a title. arsenal have not had a good season since patrick vieira had left arsenal few years back. i am admitting that arsenal are definitely out of shape compared to man utd today more than last season. they need a true leader not a clown who was in tears and out of control during a match a season ago. starting from that moment on, his teammates' confidence on him has been deteriorating and only going down instead of up. replace him with someone who's worth the armband could help wenger solve one of his headaches. he must be a person who has the ability to talk over so many problems in the dressing room and walk away with trophies. wenger has a lot to do this season and that including patching up the damages done by his captain. i don't know what is wrong with arsenal and i bet wenger is confused as much as i do. at the first game of this season, i had mentioned that wenger needed a strong tackler in midfield after flamini had left for AC Milan. it was even better if he could recruit somone who has all the experiences needed, it certainly doesn't have to be an aging player to meet the requirement but someone who knows the deal of his place. instead of acquiring one, he went for denilson to seek help. denilson is someone who's interested to play alongside cesc upfront instead of holding back deep on the field to shield his backline from enemie's attack. and he's clearly not good enough to guard his place from being terrorized by enemies every other time. hopefully, wenger can figure something out before it's too late. indeed, a win this weekend doesn't constitute the whole season results. in fact, it may not reflect arsenal season after all. arsenal could lose this match but won premier league title in the end. but if they won this match it could also help those players to be positive in the future matches. i hate seeing ronaldo and ferguson smug faces on tv claiming that no one can beat man utd at their best. suit yourselves silly....
