Arsenal F.C

Arsenal F.C


Of the football teams I like, Arsenal occupies the number 1 spot. My interest in football got generated due to a variety of reasons, one of it being that all my friends were followers of the game.

It is legends who make you attract or turn away from a team and Arsenal has a lot of such legends that anyone would want to be a fan of such skill and sporting ability. Lets just talk a bit about Arsenal today, the team to which I have just obtained a Digital membership. Oh and the digital membership by the way gives you access to a lot of Arsenal apps, newsletters and so on. One day I hope to obtain a full red membership which obviously comes at a price.

So coming back to the topic in hand, Arsenal F.C. (Thanks to beloved Wikipedia for providing all the required snippets of info) Arsenal Football club is based in Highbury, London. It has won 13 league titles and 12 FA cups along with numerous other achievements. Current league position of 6 and has an impressive line up including some the finest in the world. And btw the team is also nicknamed as Gunners.

 Arsene Wenger

 No article on Arsenal would ever be complete without a mention of this legend. The longest serving and most successful manager of the team. Wenger joined the team in 1996 and has since then produced legends, leading the team to victory time in and again.


In 2016, Forbes estimated Arsenal to be the second most valuable club in the world, having a worth of $2 billion. As per social media estimates, Arsenal has the fifth largest fan base in the world. This estimate is based on activity, followers, etc. in the social media accounts of Arsenal F.C.Jersey home colours include red shirt and white shorts, away is yellow shirt and black shorts and third colour is black shirts and yellow shorts. The club was formed on December 1, 1886. Arsenal stadium is the Emirates stadium which was finalised in 2000 after due consideration. The stadium is about 500m south west from Highbury, London.

To be continued in a later edition...

Decision Sciences - Post 1

#ShortPost - will cover it all over a period of time With the increasing importance of data in making decisions, let us look at some of the data related terms used in statistics which can help you make data driven decisions. Types of variables: Two important types of variables which should not leave you stunned are: Categorical (or nominal) variables Ordinal variables Categorical:  A categorical variable (sometimes called a nominal variable) is one that has two or more categories, but there is no intrinsic ordering to the categories. Ordinal: An ordinal variable is similar to a categorical variable.  The difference between the two is that there is a clear ordering of the variables.  Interval: An interval variable is similar to an ordinal variable, except that the intervals between the values of the interval variable are equally spaced.  Check the following link for more details: http://stats.idre.ucla.edu/other/mult-pkg/w...

Telangana: Do or Don't

I write this just a few minutes after a discussion with my team at work. Well it was a heated as well as a humorous debate but I was just a silent spectator as mostly Andhra guys were speaking and for the record, we had people belonging to Seemandhra(Non Telangana) and Telangana side as well. My honest opinion in this issue is that a state should not be divided. I have not done a detailed research about this topic so far. Today I heard some claims that Telangana people have been deprived of many resources and opportunities for a long period of time. If that is the case then a lot more has to be understood by myself before I pass a statement on this issue. However my general stand that a state should not be divided remains firm. What is this issue all about? Why did it come up for discussion today? The basic reason is the fact that, today in all leading national newspapers, the headline is: To quote Times of India: " Protest continues; trains, airports, hospital services...

First of all, I would like to thank Chris Brogan for giving bloggers like me something to write about. Yes. In his blog he has given a list of 100 topics which he hopes that bloggers write about. In his blog he has clearly explained how some people approach him and ask about how he manages to get topics to blog about each day. He has explained how his situation is quite the opposite as for him, he has too much to write about. Not boring you anymore with my reporting. "He said, He hopes, He explained" Ok no more. So one of the topics I got from that list was: "How Flickr Did It Right" There were  a variety of topics to choose from but I chose this because I wanted to do some research before writing. Let me be honest here. At this moment when I start writing I have no clue what it is. Yes I do know its part of the popular new generation networking band wagon and that it has something to do with sharing. Maybe pics or reports or articles. I donno. In fact, I dou...
