Slacktivism

There are no magic answers, no miraculous methods to overcome the problems we face, just the familiar ones: honest search for understanding, education, organization, action that raises the cost of state violence for its perpetrators or that lays the basis for institutional change -- and the kind of commitment that will persist despite the temptations of disillusionment, despite many failures and only limited successes, inspired by the hope of a brighter future."... Noam Chomsky

And the implosion comes also known as the thoughts of an angry fan

Never have I seen a top tier team so brittle as my beloved soccer club Arsenal, the question not being if they would fuck up, but when they would, and man oh man what a way to end the season.

No win in five games and well on their way to a flameout today, already down to ten men and going by the track record of these petulant whiners, surely one more red card is in the waiting. Who would have thought that it would be a Manyoo - Chelsea race again, I thought this was Liverpool's season with Torre's addition, but they are out to prove that they are no less chokers than Arsenal.

I am not waking up early for anymore of these paper tigers' games.

PS: I never saw great worth in Diaby certainly not to merit the comparisons with Viera, what a horror tackle, I do hope he gets the three match suspension.

What in the world is happening here? Bolton look the dispirited side now as it is level on two now. It's not over yet as all it takes is a long ball to unsettle Arsenal and at this stage of the season, a draw is as good as a loss.

Do they have it in them to win this? I would gladly take a win today, never mind what I wrote earlier. :-)

They won! They won! This victory can't hide the fact that they shipped two goals to a relegation threatened Bolton or that they did not pose a decent threat to goal for long stretches of the game, and more worryingly let Bolton bully them for a sustained period.

How is this team going to cope with the absence of Bacary Sagna and equally important when is Van Persie going to rediscover his touch. He missed two opportunities that were easy enough for someone of his standards.

My day has been brightened now and I did not wake up early today (8 AM ) in vain.

And now starts the thankless task of waiting for Manyoo to fail, so we can win, as I still don't believe we have it in us to go to Old Trafford and get a win. Well I was proved wrong today and I wouldn't mind being proved wrong again. Psychotic.

I love the English Premier League!
