ARS 1 - MC 0 (Yes! We deserved the win! But lets win at Wolves then i will celebrate!)

"Ooohhh to be a Gooner! Ooooh to be a Gooner! We are the ArrSenal! The Arrsenal! The Arrsenal all the way!"

Like many fans who were at Emirates last night, i was rejuvenated and emphatic over the win. We played the game (attacking), fought hard (Got tackled unfairly as well.) and scored our deserved winning goal.

"Who needs Nasri? Please stand up! Please stand up!" Guess no one did. Seriously, no player is bigger than the club.

Saw a banner hanging at Emirates, "You can't buy Class". What a good way to put it. Oil money succumbed finally to the ethos of David Dein (Sad but necessary as he left), Arsene Wenger (Belief in the team ethic and purity of a quick-passing game) and scores of Arsenal fans who deservedly celebrated the triumph like no other.

Albeit it must be said Man City don't become a bad team overnight. No team does, even Liverpool in point (Where the degradation is over seasons). Remember, this Man City team was the same one that beat us 1-0 earlier this season. But it must be asked, where's the Champions Swagger and Arrogance they displayed then?

And for all the BIG names they have how much of a team are they to fight when cornered? A good example of this was when in the 46th min, Balotelli jumped high for a header, got floored and landed aakwardly. The ref shortly blew for half-time, the physios came to Balotelli but the whole Man City team walked on by without a single cent of concern for their "Team Mate".

Lol. Mercenary Mentality at its best. Tough times come and everyone points out at the easiest of scapegoats. To be frank, they all played badly barr Kompany and Lescott. In tight situations of the run-in to the title race, they blew it! Not enough heart in their stomachs to last the run when the going gets tough.

Cliche it may be but form is temporary and class is permanent. Not so long ago were the cat calls for curtains on Wenger's reign at Arsenal. Anyone still wants Wenger out immed?

Celebrate you Mancs! You know we have inflicted the potential killing blow to your much maligned Man City.

But i have to admit, i rather the Red Devils win it than Oil Money does. Though Mancs are in general blessed with money. If any Red Devil fan disagrees with me than let me kindly show you some statistical figures.

But kudos to a man with a real passion, belief and know-all. In Arsene we trust, 14yrs consecutively in the Champions League. But like is said, all this efforts would be in vain if we fail to send Wolves down on Wed. If we get the 3 points at Molineux, i will celebrate. Till then, anything is very much possible.

Ooooohh to be a gooner!

4-0 down, hey least we don't have the pressure to perform.

4-0 down

Heart is yearning for a good game. And if we play anything near our best football. Trust me, the emirates will be an edgy place for the Milanese.

Silently hoping Wenger starts 4-4-2 with walcott up top and V. Persie.

The Italians hate walcott...even to the date! They still remember him well.

Hope i see the exasperated face of Abbiati tomorrow, coz his face resembles a clown to me.

No more clowning around Gooners! The emirates awaits!

Konami Football Allstar's Vol4. is out tomo in Japan!

Calling all enthusiasts of J-league and Japan.

I think is fair to say SG market too small for me to bring boxes and boxes in to share out.

But i did buy Vol 3. in Japan and there was a new foil category called "New Signing" or something like that. In end i only got myself a SP (Star Player Card). But also happy got the regular Shinji. Ono card. Yes, he's back to J-league now after many years.

Well, i am only posting this Vol4. up coz those who last played the Online Simulation Game that you can use these cards, there is a new simulation model.

The match play is now with actual players running around instead of dots. Also, there seems to be more combos too. Also you can now use Rental Cards to level up player cards.

Well in case any other Konami Football Allstars fans or card collectors, please find i should be ordering maybe 10 packs of the new Vol4. when out next week.

I am selling in groups of 5packs. (5packs for $20) or $4.50 for one pack. SMS me 90090187.

Vol4. has surprise surprise, a MR FREDDY LJUNBERG (Underwear Prince lol) playing for Shimizu S-Pulse! I so want that card! Haha me Arsenal fan.

In case you need some convincing. Lol.

My time playing at Round 1 - Umeda, Osaka (8-seater machines! Miss those old days at Bugis!)

Haha,

Finally got myself down to posting some of my pics when was there in Osaka. In total played like 14 credits over two days.

Got a WSB Capdevila after 5-6 games.

Was fun. Lol. Screwed my already bad W-D-L record by playing 5 games straight in World Trophy online. Lol. Lost all 5 games. Got thrashed in 2 games.

Sigh.

But learnt alot from the players at arcade. Some new tricks on driblling and some things i noticed on formations.

In all, was fun. Just ended this MVP Forlan team in SG. Was a bit pain to play esp against human players. Just did too many changes to the team to get it right.

Come end Feb, i will start on another team. Hee. Prob a half-Arsenal team. But should defend better than my last team.

Enjoy your games everyone.

Cheers

4-0 The humiliation - Simply not good enough!

Yes, i woke up wee hours to support the Gooners again.

Guess what, right from the word go, they were too clockwork and predictable. Not meaning passing is bad, just too predictable and slower than when we were "playing with our handbrakes off".

I realized DB10 hit it head-on its nail with recent comments that we have too many similar type players in the team. Look around, Ramsey, Arteta, Walcott, V. Persie and even Song all are too much a passer than the "guy who makes runs around people to make space in opposition half."

Case in point. Cesc4 was definately one of these type of "dummy runs / makes himself avail guys" Also Nasri and you know what even Gervinho is. But point is they are all not playing atm.


And in my humble opinion, the real successor to Cesc4, if he properly develops is not fit! Wilshere! We miss his space-creating dummy runs like old Cesc! Look at Ramsey, his solution to things is just pass and pass.

I'd say we better correct it for the Sunderland and especially the Spuds game coming up. Gervinho and Gibbs are really a cure for a chronic ill-ease growing in the Arsenal camp.

Lastly, Arteta really in my opinion was the lousiest player in the squad yest. Lazy, lethargic and safe passing only. If he thought CL was a walk in the park, i'd say end his Arsenal career early and get Ramsey playing in his place.

Best plyr, for effort and skill was Rosicky, yes a few erroneous passes, but the only guy on the pitch at times who looked to crack their defense with a bit old dribble, move and pass. And not pass, and pass, and pass, and pass...predictable.

Well to all gooners. Keep the faith. It aint over yet.

I'm back from Japan! - Played some WCCF too!

Woo- Phew!

When i was at Osaka Round 1 Arcade, they had 8-Seater Machines.

If you play in Singapore, you will know why that is way cooler.

Also, i was playing the WCCF there and saw two lady players. Actually they were like the GFs of two guys who were playing. Lol. So sad to me, the wife or GF have to help "Park" another machine to get foil faster.

One was excited about her own games, whereas clearly the other lady was like more "forced" to play.

Am happy got myself a WSB Capdevila after 6games.

Also, managed to learn some new tricks i saw a Jap player use.

By the way, got tempted as well to buy 2 packs of the new Ver. 3 of Konami's Football Allstars which now has a FM looking player simulation. lol. Got no foil inside.

Also saw in Ver 4 have F. Ljunberg in Shizuma S-Pulse! Shirt no. 21! Wow, k k save up to get that card. Lol.

Till more foils soon in our WCCF 10-11 machines here.

Cheers!
