Any weekend without European football leagues action is a
period football lovers love to hate, for those are the weekends that they find hard
to shrug off visits from boredom. But I dare
say that Arsene Wenger, manager of Arsenal FC in England, helped put some of that
boredom at bay with his adventures in the transfer market before the start of
the 2013/14 season. This brings me to my
main focus for today, the Barclays Premier League.
First port of call is Manchester United. It is strange how people enjoy success to the
point that they forget what the road to such success was like and take for
granted the facts that change is the only constant thing in life.
With due respect to Sir Ferguson, Mr. Moyes, the current
Manchester United FC manager inherited the worst Man U side in recent history. Why every Man U fan wants an instant success
with Moyes, beats my imagination.
For those Man u fans that either don’t know 
or don’t
remember what the road to their current status of being one of the successful
clubs in Europe was like, should know this: Sir Alex Ferguson became manager of
Manchester United FC after winning Europe’s Cup Winners’ Cup and still struggled
for more than three seasons before he could win the league. Still within those molding days of Man U’s
club success, Sir Ferguson even had to finish not far above the relegation
zone.

My point in this history lesson is that Mr. Moyes
deserves his “trial and error period.”
And I will not be surprised if it goes beyond a season. So, he does not need the excuse of Manchester United getting a tough six match league start when the likes of Aston Villa are to suffer a tougher six match fixtures. 
Over time, it has been know that the Barclays premier
league is a marathon. So, while I am
impressed with Arsenal FC’s current sprint record, I dread what that record
would look like at the end of the season.
Mr. Wenger has always made ridiculous my doomsday prophecy for his club
with his photo finish results for top four.
But is he not planning to manifest that prophecy with his adventures? God give Ozil the strength for this race!
Point blank fact: I DID NOT WHAT MOURINHO TO RETURN TO
CHELSEA.
It is not that he would not become a success, eventually, but he is bound to break a lot of eggs to make his omelet.
Chelsea FC is 
struggling not
because they don’t have the manpower but because there is a sudden shift in
ideology. Chelsea alongside Tottenham Hotspur,
by my estimation, are the two top English league Clubs with already dug
trenches for the marathon haul. As much as
some would blame the “happy one” for Chelsea’s current instability, it is hoped
that the man at the helm of boardroom affairs realizes how much of the blame
soils his well manicured feet.
