It’s been a while since i updated my blog tehehe… well, i don’t think anyone’d read it anyway besides i don’t really have anything to write bout, let’s just say that i’m too lazy to update it.

I’d like to write bout some stuff that i’ve been doing while i was away from my computers for a couple of months but i’m just not in the mood right now maybe some other time but let me gives u a lil preview – lots and lots of mangas, books, movies and anime, hell, i even play tennis would u believed haha… and i didn’t know i sucks at it so very much.

Well anyway see u some other time kay

Arsenal won in the end with the final scoreline of 3-2 courtesy of Bendtner(45), Vermaelen(78) and Eduardo(81). The home side took the lead after just 2 minutes of kick-off through Eliaquim Mangala and just when Arsenal was about to regroup they had scored again, this time through a 5th minute penalty converted by Milan Jovanovic.

Arsenal were lucky in this match if i say so myself, apart from Bendtner quality finish, we had to thank the linesman for allowing Vermaelen goal despite him being in an offside position and a lucky goal from Eduardo who kneed in the goal at close range from a corner.

One might ask why in the world was Eduardo even allowed to play in this match after being banned for to match, well the reason is simple, the banned was overturned after Arsenal appealed againts the ban. As for why it was overturned, i honestly have no idea cause from my perspective the ban was justified even if i’m an Arsenal fans.

These past couple of weeks has been tough for the Gunners, three straight away matches and two of them againts Man Utd and Man City was perhaps too much to handle for the Gunners. After all the bad luck that we’ve suffered againts those teams, it was a welcome relief that lady luck has finally decided to look our way again. With a home win expected againts Wigan this saturday, let’s hope we can build up some momentum to raised up the spirit at the Emirates.

Put some cheer on the face of our fans once again. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!

Spain secured their spot for next year world cup final thanks to earlier result in their favour; the 1-1 draw between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Turkey. Cesc Fabregas plays an important role in the game scoring the first goal and setting up Cazorla for the second.

It was a nervy opening for the host as Estonia created a couple of chances in which they failed to convert. The first goal settle their nerved and the Spanish was able to see off their opponents professionallly with to two more goals near the end of the game.

England also secured their spot after humbling Croatia 5-1 thanks to two goals apiece by Lampard and Gerrard with Rooney also on the scoresheet. Eduardo managed to score a consolation goal for the Croatian but only after they were well beaten by an impressive England side.

The English, Spanish and Brazil must be hot favourite for next year world cup after their performance in the qualifying  round. Though there’s still games left to play, it will only serves as a warm up matches now that they have safely qualified.

Now all eyes will be on former world champion, France and the talented side of Portugal. Both were struggling in the qualifying with Portugal losing out on the automatic spot and can only hope for the play-off spot. The French still had an outside chance for the automatic qualifying spot but the Serbian are well equiped to took that spot.

On the other side of the continent, Argentina are in big trouble as they stumble yet again and this time in the shaped of Paraguay. The host beat Argentina with a single goal by Valdez just before the half-hour mark. If their poor form continues, they are likey too miss the train to South Africa next year which is a shame really considering the talent they had at their disposal.

Next year World Cup line up has slowly began to grow and it is disturbing  to think that there’ll be no Argentina, France and Portugal in the list. Although if they really did miss out on one of the greatest sporting event in the world, they only had themselves to blame.

Before that, there’s the task of finishing off Celtic at homes to proceed for the group stage in the champions league. Fabregas is out with a hamstring injury and Van Persie will be rested for this game.

As for the Man Utd game, we got an excellence chance of taking at least a point at OT. The chief tormentor of Arsenal defense last season Ronaldo is no longer available and Tevez as well, couple that with the fact that both of their stalwart in defense, Rio Ferdinand and Edwin Van der Sar are out injured.

Physically and mentally, we are in top condition, the moral is high, the togetherness is there again, Gallas seems to have recover well from a difficult season, the rest is for the players and manager to do their job. OT here we come.

Here’s a little description courtesy of Wikipedia:
In a post-apocalyptic world overrun with mutated beasts called Filth Monsters, humanity is forced to live in large mobile cities called Regios and learn to use weapons called DITE and harness the power of Kei to defend themselves. In the Academy City of Zuellni, Layfon Alseif is hoping to start a new life and forget his past.

However, his past has caught the attention of Karian Loss, the Student Council President and Nina Antalk, a Military Arts student and Captain of the 17th Platoon, who instantly recognizes his abilities and decides he’s the perfect candidate to join her group.

With a secret past that won’t leave him alone and unknown powers beyond normal, Layfon will have a hard time surviving this ordeal.

The action in the anime was great, i like the fight sequence which are totally out of this world. The plot may be a lil bit cliche but the great art and awesome action pretty much covered up that little blip. For those who love action fantasy anime, this anime is a must for you guys so go check it out.

Yup… that’s what happened in Arsenal match againts Celtic at Parkhead. A deflected goal off Gallas and an own goal by Celtic skipper Caldwell turned the match in Arsenal favour for the second leg at Emirates in two weeks time.

Nevertheless, i think we deserved the win considering the fact that we control the game right from the start. Celtic never really troubled the Arsenal defense courtesy of an assured performance by the excellence Vermaelen. It’s been a great start for the Gunners so let’s hope the momentum would stick till the end of the season.

On the side note, Walcott may be able to play againts Arsenal next opponent Portsmouth though still no sign on the recovery of Nasri, Fabianzski and the slight knock suffered by Eduardo. It is our first home game of the season, it’s sure to be quite an atmosphere at the Emirates. God, i wish i live just a couple block from the Emirates sigh… alas it’s not to be, so i’ll have to settle for my couch then, sigh…

Oh… big games coming soon with Arsenal visit to both Man City and Man Utd after the Portsmouth game. Hehe… i’ll be looking forward to that one, who knows, maybe, just maybe we could see some new faces in the Gunners squad. How we’ll do for this season could be predicted from the outcome of those games. Go Gunners…^_^

Whoa… what a start to the campaign for the gunners, i really didn’t expect that, a 6-1 drubbing of Everton. Welldone guys, weldone indeed, that should keep the critics quiet for a while. Good things come to those that wait, ain’t that appropriate to sum up Arsenal game last week.

We were never really in trouble in that game aside from goalmouth clearance by Denilson from Felllaini header and a couple of opportunities here and there. The moment Denilson curled the first goal in signalled the start of a nightmare for the Evertonians. It was dreadful defending for the homeside particularly from set piece, although credit must be given to the Arsenal midfield led by Fabregas who orchestrated the game.

But still, it’s only the first game of the season and all of the sudden people are saying Arsenal are genuine title contender after that one superb performance. Well, i have no doubt that we are title contender but so are Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool, one single good performance doesn’t win you title, consistency is the name of the game. If Arsenal can reproduce such performance on a consistent basis, we’ll blow away all the other title contender, kinda like what Barcelona did in La Liga.

Next up, Celtic. Now this should be a handful for the Gunners, luckily for us they lose one of their best player in Shunsuke Nakamura to Espanyol. Still though, this fixtures are one of those banana skin scattered throughout a season. Let’s hope we can face this game with the same mentality as we did Everton.

Now, there are a couple of reasons why you should check out this manga, firstly is the art of course. The mangaka Double-S, did a great job in the drawing. The action was cleanly pictured and wonderfully orchestrated by the author. There’s also an element of Sci-Fi added to add more kick in this manga.

The plot was really good, it was lilke a roller coaster ride with both the good and the bad try to outdo and outsmart each other. I seriously recommend this manga to everyone that love action manga, you won’t be disappointed. Currently there are 83 chapters out so go and get it at nihilsinenefas website.

Be sure to thank the group for their effort in bringing this manga to all manga fans out there. And to those guys at nihilsinenefas, you guys are the absolute best, thnx for your effort and i hope that you guys will be able to stick with this manga all the way, i know i am.

All in all, it was a good work out for Arsenal, that should put some reality check to Arsene Wenger to get some reinforcement sooner rather than later. Well, based on my own personal observation on Wenger transfer dealing, we can expect to get possibly one or two players near the end of the transfer period.

It was fine and all but i just think that the quicker we get them, the quicker they adapt with the rest of Arsenal Squads.

Tomas Rosicky in action during the Emirates Cup 2009

Aww man… this really s#$ks big time, Rosicky is out for another six weeks due to hamstring injury during training. With Nasri also out injured for two month at the very least, couple that with the departures of both Adebayor and Toure we do indeed look thin.

Now is a good time for Wenger to splurged a lil bit on the money from selling player. As much as i have faith in young gunners like Fran Merida and Jack Wilshere, i still believe we need a bit more experience to compensate the loss of Nasri and Rosicky.

Possible candidate that i could think of were Ibrahim Affelay and  like my recommendation in my last post, Solomon Kalou. In fact, get the both of em, i’m sure we can afford it. Why? Well simple really, Rosicky is too injury proned, i’m not certain he can play week in week out if we are really serious about challenging for the title and what not.

Who knows maybe we can get Ribery hehe… too far fetched maybe, but wouldn’t it be great or rather, perfect. Anyway, let me know of your thoughts on the current Arsenal squads.
