I went to the bar(was in a pub) to refill my glass at half time during the West Ham v Arsenal game,the pub was full and of-course had more men than women,a lot of more men trying to get more drinks to be geared up for the second half.At half time,as the pundits gave their opinions and tried to analyse the game,so do we fans...everybody giving their different reasons and opinions for all the details they could manage to capture during the first half......as the arguments went on,then popped up an advert on TV ...I am not sure for what product...but it had beautiful woman...the words that came out of her mouth,not many of us remember as we were all glued to the TV in a trance...at that point during the advert,the pub was in complete silence.i don't know if it was Garnier or Lorreal(doubt if i spelt it well) but she was definitely worth it.....as the advert finished,somebody said out loud..."My God, that's a beautiful woman"...i would say that's stating the obvious but there are no complaints because he just said out loud what most men were thinking....
Now a lot of you are probably thinking it or some have even said it but Arsene Wenger said out loud and am sure was very proud as he said...Santi Cazorla was an absolute delight to watch.Once again stating the obvious but we don't mind hearing it.Over the years,Arsenal have had strong and creative midfielders and even when Cesc Fabregas burst into the scene,there were no questions asked as he continued in the footsteps of all the wonderful players before him.There were a lot of questions asked when Cesc left for Barcelona,although Arsenal still finished 3rd in the league,he was still missed.I am pretty certain he is not going to be missed for too long as Santi has shown or is showing us the simple definition of creativity.when you have produced a high level of midfield...that level should always be maintained.and that is what Wenger has done.its obvious but lets state it...
Moving up north to Manchester, Manchester United.....questions are being asked as to who will replace Paul Scholes as he remains the best attacking option in midfield for United.And you wonder,even if there is no replacement for Scholes,they should be someone of almost that same quality that can make Paul Scholes realize that if i retire,i don't have to come back.A lot of talk has been said about Tom cleverly but since we are here to state the obvious,lets state it.....Tom Cleverly cannot replace Paul Scholes.As a midfielder,you are either creative or defensive.....tom is neither.....so i ask...what is his role?Is he only playing for England because he plays for Manchester United?He is not known for his Goal scoring abilities as he has only scored 2 goals for the senior side and both goals against Newcastle United...a team like Manchester United...a world class player is needed in the middle especially based on the quality they have had in the past......Tom cleverly may eventually become great but for now,is he good enough....he is not...i think it is obvious...so am stating it....
There is only one team in the world that have earned the right not have a plan b...they have just one plan or should i say one way of playing and regardless of what happens on the pitch,they do not change it...yes yes am talking about Barcelona. Their style of play is to pass you to death.Barcelona maintain their style of dominating the play from their defense right to when the ball gets to Messi. Yes they have lost games and on rear occasions,their tiki taka doesnt flow but they never change their style.you might say that as a team you should have options but if option 1 is still good enough to kill off any opposition then i will state the obvious....the other teams in world football are still a long distance behind tiki taka.......
There are probably a lot of more things i could state but i thought i will wait and get your opinions about what we can all see but refuse to state..one more thing....England have called up Jonjo Shelvey ......who?yeap,the Liverpool player that got sent off against Manchester United.....so i will state the obvious....England wont win a major competition in a while........
In more words to come..Sabi Boi..
