The Cycle Of Karma

After last Sunday’s showdown, the magnamolia of a thunderous opening of a can of worms and even more down the road, I thought it would be finally appropiate to make my first post of this campaign.

The ‘defeat’ to United was a strange one – it was a match we should have most definately won. To say that for a match at OT – were only 3 league wins under Wenger decorate the records – is a massive compliment of attitude and application. Arshavin showed why the possession of a ball will draw intakes of breath from opposition fans, Denilson showed why he played the most games last year, Song is becoming a steady eddy and Vermealen is utlising the magic of a certain Tony Adams. Lofty praise indeed for the new CD, but his gait and assurance, alongside that very masculine jawline, has given Arsenal fans enough hope for a better season protecting Almunia.

And so, on we go to our blonde-ish goalkeeper. After cementing himself into our hearts, the Spaniard-in-disguise has had the most comfortable starts to a goalie’s life since the Chinese emperor built the Great Wall and Basil Fawlty took charge of Fawlty Towers (I seem to recall a Manuel who had shaky hands). Yet, his rush of blood spewed the irony of the past week. I firmly believe it was the luck of OT once again, but I will say that it wasn’t a dive.

The image of Le Prof, defiant agiasnt the jagticulating Mancunians whilst standing upon a roof with one seat (what the hell is that for?) will live to my dying day. It was a gesture grounded in the days of the 90’s/early 00 rivalry between Blue nose and Professor. One has a feeling this will reignite itself for one last hurrah, before both men walk arm in arm into the sunset.

The echelons of football has once again turned, from a media hunry (Anti)Arsenal establishment to one causing spunk to fall on Chelsea’s hands. Oh the horror of my disgust as I flicked open London Lite to see the true bigamy of Chelsea FC!! Now the mega-flithy-rich Roman won’t have a wedge large than his well ordained carrots to despose his money in. However, having said that, UEFA and FIFA, under the Platini era, are relaunching a sinister poke towards the English. Two massive punishments cannot fail to have severe consequences on future laws and regulations. If not, the reputation and system of football’s governing bodies must be called into disrepute.

Thus, it seems to cycle of karma has turned, all the way back from 2005 and Colegate. Arsenal won the FA Cup undeserved, now we lose undeserved. Chelsea wriggle their way out of punishment, now they face the sharp UEFA axe. This season is shaping up very nicely indeed…
