I 8-2 say this, but thank you Man United

Well, before the encounter with man united, as an Arsenal fan i was full of excitement towards the game because i knew it was going to an interesting piece of art when it comes to soccer (except for Barcelona who do it better). But immediately i went on twitter before the game and i saw the Squad for the game, my excitement for the game turned to fear. Arsenal assembled a squad that wont even challenge a carling cup team not to mention the EPL defending champion.
 And so the game kicked off and silently i prayed to God for a miracle, i prayed that the the game should be like the that of David and Goliath but it was never to be, and at the end i saw what i have been silently praying against! The score board displayed the game score and it read 8-2! Never as an Arsenal fan have i witness such a scoreline until then. It was humiliating to say the least, and everything pundit, fans and the arm-chair coaches have been saying manifested.
 But something happened afterwards that surprised everyone including the manager (because he would have never done it if we had come out of the game OK), Arsenal brought in five (5) international players in the space of 48 hours, it was very surprising and not just that, they were all 26 years and above and that is purely against the philosophy the manager, he believed in youth but the humiliation made him to realize that the youth project had failed him!
 Now Arsenal now boast of experience players, matured players, dedicated players to the cause of the club and now they are IMO to fire all guns with the arsenal we have to gun for glory! So ideally, we wont have bought those players if not for the embarrassing humiliating defeat man united handed to the team, so even if i 8-2 say this, Manchester United thank you very much....
