Roon (read: Run) Over!

Lets forget whatever happened @the Emirates two days back and look forward to the road ahead. Is this team a ‘title contender‘ or a mere ‘pretender‘. The Gunners has been losing consistently to top sides and inspite of that, we are supposedly having a ‘good’ season. Let’s face it, the pundits doubted out top-4 finish not long back. 11G analyzes the season from my perspective..

The Titans Are Back!

Before I even begin with my piece tonight, let’s take a moment & delve into what’s in store for the Gunners over the next two weeks. Manchester United – Home. Chelsea – Away & Liverpool – Home. I have been following the game for some 8 & a half seasons now, and never before in my rather recent memory has any team faced such a daunting run-in of games. Not to forget the stalemate against Aston Villa two days back. By the end of it all, clarity will be restored as to whether they are fighting for the title for the first time in 5 seasons, or it’s back to ensuring a routine top-4 finish. Any which way, it’s gonna be a roller-coaster ride & We@11G are here to guide you through all this.

~So let’s get it started in here..~ <BEP anyone!?>

Let’s analyze the clash against United in detail first up..

It's Arsenal..It's United..It's 3D!

This coming Sunday, the battle lines will be clearly ear-marked as the Gunners face the ‘Red Dolls’ on their own turf i.e. the Emirates. Unlike the last few seasons, when the fixture was of not much consequence, it will be this time, if bare statistics are to be kept in mind. Points or otherwise, this rivalry has been the cream of the lot, right through the noughties, & it shall be no different in two days time. 11G looks forward to the ‘big one’ with the latest filtering in..

There Is Only One Arsene

The English Premier League has seen some stalwarts over the years. Men whose ‘Vision‘ and ‘Knowledge‘ have been detrimental to their teams success. The likes of Arsene Wenger, Sir Alex et al have been proven winners with zeons of experience behind them. Ancelotti and Benitez, too, have tasted success amany. Young turks like David Moyes, Martin O’Neil, Mark Hughes are all managing teams which on their day, are capable enough to give the best a run for their money. So who exactly is the best of the lot?

We@11Gunners look into the same this week..

The Professor, whom we respect to the point of worshiping, was insulted last Saturday at Old Trafford. It was saddening to see him getting disgraced to practically no fault on his part. When it happens to players it is a different issue, such behavior meted out to one of the senior and iconic Managers of out times, is utterly shameful. Its high time some people got their mannerisms right. A 11Gunners look-in on the same..

Arsene and Arsenal are synonymous with each other having forged an impregnable bond over the past 14 years. Sir Alex Ferguson is the same with the Red half of Manchester. What If..Their Roles were to be reversed..
