Magic Potion a' la Orange

Who is going to make those penetrating passes to Henry? Who will the Gunners look up to for inspiration?
Well not Denis Bergkamp anymore.

Winning is a formula. Every formula has ingredients. Every result (perhaps winning in this case; more importantly delightfull footer I believe) can be achieved by various formulae. There is the Chelsea formula (mostly money and mercenaries). The Wanderers seem to rely on height and muscle. The Gunners formula however is the best. Cant say I know what comprises this potion, but know that its based on artistry and brilliance.

Bergkamp was a vital ingredient for the past odd decade. The success that the Gunners achieved during his tenure is no mean feat. While the success may continue (and am pretty confident that it will) the ingredients will have to change. The raw material we know is good, but magic has its own demands. Gunners fan forever. Bergkamp fan forever.


The past few years have learnt a lot from footer. Saying good bye is one of them (Viera, now Bergkamp). But how does one manage to get the ingredients right in the team? How does one know when one has outgrown the team? How does one infuse fresh blood? How does one rejuvenate? How does one make magic?

Will have to watch a lot more footer...
