A Key Milestone Has Been Crossed in My Life

It's very private. I've been struggling to achieve something for a long time. It's embarrassing that I haven't achieved it much earlier. But I've achieved it now. It affects my career, my direction, my self esteem. I made a decision earlier this year to change my tactic, my methods, to see if it would work. I don't know if I can attribute my humble victory to this change of tactic. But it certainly coincided with this victory. My title has changed from now on. Nothing can take it away from me. My mom used to say, "money you can lose, but what you learned cannot be stolen from you."

Thank you God for listening to my trivial prayers. I must say it took a long time to be answered but perhaps You were testing me, building my perseverance and humility. The trial and long wait has made me a better person. Next to God, I owe the most to my lovely wife for putting up with my nonsense and obsessive quest for my endeavour, and to all my close friend for supporting me through this period. Love you all.

Liverpool 1 Arsenal 1

Arsenal was very lucky to equalise via a rare error by Peppe Reina. It was the same old Arsenal, lots of passing without penetration, soft at the back. The central defence does not have enough cover because they lost 4 players and bought only 1. Even the one player that was bought was not strong nor tall in stature.

There were no strengthening of the central defence to protect the 4 gnomes at the back. Our goalkeeper is still as butterfingers. I don't care if Almunia makes several good saves in this game. He missed clearing a corner kick and that didn't instill confidence at the back.

Loyal fans of Arsenal can defend Wenger to the death, saying that he achieved Champions League football on a shoestring budget. But our shift to the Emirates is over. We have paid back the bulk of our long-term debt. What are we saving our bullets for?

This season should end without a trophy for Arsenal again. It's a sad ending that's likely to happen.
