Scheduled to go out with my mother today since she claimed that I am starting to abandon her. -_- Because during the December holidays, I'm always at home like a hermit. I even set a record of staying at home for an unprecedented 88 hours aka 3 days 16 hours. So went to many random places today and bought a lot of stuffs. Sigmund asked me to watch the comedic horror flick with him but I couldn't make it because I was outside.
Arsenal will face Wigan later tonight and the previous few meetings had shown that Wigan is capable of pulling upsets, remarkably the one where Arsenal was leading 2-0 till the 83rd minute and Wigan made a comeback and scored thrice in a space of 9 minutes. Wigan also drew against Arsenal on several occasions and denting the hopes of Arsenal to reach the top of the table.
The January transfer window has opened and I think many would wonder why Wenger is not getting a custodian. Almunia is nursing an injury and Fabianski still lacks of experience. Even with Szczesny, a recently promoted keeper from the youth squad, there isn't any number one keeper yet. As always, Arsenal is plagued with injuries and the defense has been rudely shaken. Koscielny is still out from injury and Squillaci with Djourou can't really handle the offense well.
But I must say Arsenal is really a good team, not in terms of winning trophies, but instead on how the club can nurture youth players. Ever since losing players like Henry, Ljungberg, Cambiasso, Pires and many other legendary pioneers, Arsenal didn't splurge on buying other talents in. Instead, they trained youths into really good players themselves. They will still continue to amaze us with their selfless passes and 1-touch fancy football week after week, game after game. Kudos to them, wish they have a good match later on against Wigan.
