Arsenal; Same Story different cast

When the barclays Premier League season kicked off,  Many Arsenal fans were certain that this was the end of the long wait.  Over the seasons that elapsed,  Gunners have not gone above 77point mark and this season was not exceptional.

With 2 matches to go, Arsenal are third in the log with just 67points, 10 behind leaders and 2 behind bitter rivals Tottenham Hot spurs.

Despite beating the Champions-Elect Leicester city FC,  Arsenal lost obvious matches against struggling sides and lost the plot on winning formula.  I joined Arsenal in 2005, shortly after winning the FA Cup against Manchester United I  Millennium Stadium in Cardiff Wales. 

As a gooner I had to wait for whooping 9yrs and 11Months  to win my first silverware which was a summary of the nine years..  Arsenal went down 2 goals inside 9minutes in the FA cup 2013 final against Hull City AFC and spend the remainder of the Match leveling before finding the back of the net in the added extra time through Aaron Ramsey 16th goal of that season.

Arsenal play beautiful football but we want the prize, we want that golden badge on our jerseys and there is only one way of getting the badge, winning the league. 

We signed Petr Cech from Chelsea last summer and he has been instrumental in the squad.  Petr has saved Arsenal many points and has maintained 15 clean sheets, joint best with kasper of Leicester and Joe Hart of man city,  but where is the problem?

Premier League Titles are won in defying odds,  Arsenal must rethink on where they lost the plot and change  a new beginning towards  that end. 

We may still have striking problems but how secure are we at the back?  How does our bench look like? Is the managerial change the answer to our premier league title drought?  Who is to blame for the wores at Arsenal? How prepared is our squad and how reliable is the player rotation?

The above questions need to be answered before we point an accusing finger at Arsené Wenger and his entire coaching staff.  criticism towards the French man does not mean replacement serves the best. I rarely listen to Piers Morgan and the entire aimless bandwagon of anti Wenger but they may have a point to prove.

Arsenal and Arsené can't be separated but it has come a time when the French man should think about retiring with a win of the coveted English Premier League and next season presents that option.

Next season we expect changes in the Bpl and Pep Guardiola is the new face in the most competitive league in Europe with Manchester city side.  I always have big expectations from the squad that has always played with love and affection that I only see it in the catalán side Barcelona.

Sometimes  things don't go as we planned or wished, but the best thing is to remain United and behind the team at all cost.  I believe the team will one day winning the title.

Why We Need Advocacy Journalism in Africa

                                                                                                   Tweet When one mentions the term journalism, some wonder what that actually means. Is it the content that makes you a journalist? Is it your take on the contemporary issues that guarantees you to be referred to as ‘Journalist’? Well I refresh my mind back in 2006. By then I was in Form 2 in Machakos school, I bet it is still the best school in Eastern Province. The politics, constitutionalism and regional integration filled the air… as a young man of 16 years I could not make out what that actually meant for us, and by the ‘us’ I mean the so-called future leaders. Felix Kilonzo- Mku studios I dropped the idea of pursuing the Bio-Chemistry dream and deviated fully to the Journalism field and 7 years on, I am yet to see the entire ship. Talking of a process, I d o remember my Mathematics teacher back in the days. She used to say life is like a normal distribution curve or simpl
