Never Condescend, Never Underestimate

Being an ardent fan of Arsenal that whenever they win i will go delirious, I juz enjoy and indulge in the passing and attacking game that the young bunch of kids produce. Though they are young, they play with confidence, setting up relentless attacks while they put up stronghold at the defence line. The game juz appetizing, stimulating and marvellous. It will never be a dull and boring game, that some teams seem that as a strategy - right after u score, pull back all the players and defend!!! Come on, fans and supporters deserve something more interesting and positive.

I have been showing my great support and faith in Arsenal since the very young age of 11. I went through the vintage season when Thiery Henry, Robert Pires, Viera and more world renowned best players were faithful servants and machines of Arsenal, producing a tremendous run of 49 unbeaten matches in hand, record and history.

But of course, on the converse side of the coin or rather the downturn period that traumatized Arsenal, i witnessed my favourite team being knock out, knock off and knock down. The prestigious Champion's League Trophy seemed to be so close and almost in hand and yet it seemed to be so abyss, unreachable. Arsenal was 1-2 down in the hand of Barcelona.

Tonight, the 27th of September, was another disaster day for Arsenal. The match was against a newbie in the English Premier League, the Hull City. Guess u never heard of that. Three days ago, Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal gallantly sent out a team with the average age of 19 years old where they trashed Sheffield United 6-0. A magnificent match with superb finishing and marvellous goals being produced. However, tonight was a frustrating game, indeed. The players were striving their best to produce an early goal, but of no avail. All their efforts were juz futile. Facing the City's players, Arsenal was trying hard to discover their pace, passion and the kindred spirit to entertain the fans. They failed. The 1st half ended in stalemate - goalless although Arsenal was the better side, dominating the possession.

As the 2nd half kicked off, somehow Arsenal found their pace and they strike through. But it was not an easy goal. Right after that, Hull City pulled back with 2 dramatic goals in a blink of eye, sending the City's fans cheering and yelling. Wat a match! Arsenal juz totally lost the confidence and almost everything, presenting a lacklustre game and yet it was against a lousy team!

Never condescend, never underestimate. Coz the worst is right after You. A great lesson that Arsenal must keep in mind, the mistakes were not irrevocable. There is still hope. Let the failure be the source of motivation and enhancement of the team. Juz keep polishing and bring on the best, winning is juz a matter of time.

Never condescend, never underestimate.
