Yeah thanks to Chelsea, they've just breathed new life into our title chase ...
As for losing @ the Carling Cup final, yes all of us were sorely disappointed but I think it's the players who felt it the most ... playing all the games and yet ending up empty-handed ...
I like what Alan Smith, an Arsenal star of yesteryears said after the game ...
“I would recommend that the Arsenal boys hold on to that sick feeling at the pit of their stomachs; remember how they felt as the Birmingham City players danced around Wembley, madly celebrating a win that was borne, in part, from sheer bloody-mindedness.” Alan Smith wrote in his Daily Telegraph column.
“Robin van Persie, Jack Wilshere et al must not let themselves forget, otherwise Sunday’s fiasco will serve no purpose at all. Lessons must be learned before it is too late. To use John Terry’s phrase, the team needs to ‘man up’ when the going gets tough.
“In short, an attitude like Birmingham’s wouldn’t go amiss, the sort epitomised by Roger Johnson who, calf strain or not, simply refused to come off despite hobbling about in a lot of pain. Team-mates can’t fail to be inspired by that kind of example. It tends to spread through the side like wildfire to lend a very doughty streak.”
Please move on Gunners, there are still prizes to fight for ...
