Arsenal FC is one. By two Games and In three Days, its faith may change dramatically and/or drastically. Udinese and Manchester United results could be a determining factor to what happens to Arsenal FC. Brace yourself, the Gunners could become the Goners!
In its 115 years of existence, it undoubtedly has gone through some difficult periods which may have seemed destructive. It has mounted those challenges to arrive to the status they have today. For the last 15 years, a century after its existence, Arsenal employed a French man who worked in Japan. Unknown to the vast majority of fans- Arsene Who?. Arsene Wenger took up this responsibility and hit the ground running. A match made in heaven: “Arsene” – “ Arsenal”. It was meant to be. He managed Arsenal through the most successful period of its history and brought so much excitement alongside.

Great spectacles and memorable moments! Brilliant players and breathtaking goals Young hidden potentials flourishing into magnificent footballers. The rivalry with Man United. The tension with Tottenham Spurs. The invincible season. Even in the past 6 (six) years of no trophies- there have been thrilling close-shaves – Champions league finals, FA cup & Carling cup finals, good premier league attempts. This is 2011/ 2012 premiership season and it seems Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have come to a cross road. A point of major decision or change. Like never before in his Arsenal Career, Arsene Wenger’s position has come under scrutiny. This was a man we said – In Arsene we trust. We have doubted his decisions in the past but he proved them right. This time it is different! It must be. Surely we can see how the team disintegrates in our very own eyes. Loosing matches from good starts (Tottenham 2-3), dropping points (Newcastle 4-4), defensive blunders (Carling Cup final with Birmingham, injury time with Liverpool and present season too in the Emirates). What has gone wrong? What Catastrophe has besieged this our beloved club? Is it a who or a what? We all have our own individual opinions and many are common and similar. Some will say – “Arsene has lost it all together” – “Obstinate. Weirdly discreet. Inflexible philosophy” Football enterprise has changed and is very much financial oriented. Money talks. This is evident by the Man Citys of this world. Good players are drawn like magnets. Honour, passion and devotion are slipping away from this great industry. The fans are left on their own. Arsenal has been excellently prudent and successful running the club. Is this at the expense of the squad? Arsene Wenger or Arsenal Board or both? We could have a fill day going on and on but the bottom-line is here. The day of reckoning is here. From the 24th of August, 2011, I believe Arsenal stands on cross roads. There are 3 days, 2games to make or break. Champion league qualifiers with Udinese and Man. United match in Old Trafford 3 days later will decide the path this club will take. Win. Win – wonderful, why worry Don’t qualify. Lose – disastrous, damning. A turn needs to be taken and I fear for the club, thenceforth … For now lets trust Arsene.
