They think it’s all over!!!

Posted by Arsenal Hampshire in Daily Column

As another season draws to the close, most Arsenal fans are left feeling very disappointed at the drastic demise in our form from the glorious period we experienced up until January, and then the form that plagued us from February onwards. Ask 100 fans what went wrong and you get 100 different responses. I though, am staying postive!! OK, it may be lack of sleep, but it isnt over until the fat lady sings!! I seem to be the only person that has remembered that if Man Utd and Chavski lose every game from now until the end of the season, with exception of the game in which they play each other in which they draw!, and we continue to pick up maximum points, we win the league by a 2 point landslide! Hey, its still mathmatically possible…..

Today saw us get back to winning ways at home with a very comfortable 2-0 victory over a struggling Reading. I think the score complimented them more than it did us, what with the fact that we averaged a corner nearly every 4 minutes in the first half! We took the lead after a great first touch from Adebayor took him past the defender and he calmly placed the ball past Marcus Hahnemann. The second came from a long range Gilberto effort, that took a wicked deflection off the laclustre Reading defence, before beating the outstretched palm of the keeper. It could have been so many more… RVP hit the upright with a rocket of a free-kick, Theo hit the bar with a left footed effort from about 12 yards and Adebayor and Song both missed the target with quite simple headers created during 2 of our set pieces awarded during the game. Once again though (and as much as id love to see my above theory come true) it would strike me as being too little, too late. But either way, its good to get back to winning ways and see the season out in style.

News is coming out of the club thick and fast at the moment, and i will cover most of it over the coming days. Obviously we can now look forward to being linked with the world and his wife as the transfer window draws ever closer. Wenger has said that he is after 2 “real quality” players, you can read the article here. I would hope it is a few more than 2 as i wouldnt tar many of our current squad with the same “Real Quality Player” brush.

Anyway, thats your lot for today. I wish everyone a nice weekend, whatever your up too. At this moment in time Utd are losing 1-0 to Blackburn and i cant help but hope Utd turn it around as i would hate to see a certain money grabbing Arsenal reject getting his grubby little mits on the Premiership Crown.

 Until next time Arse-fans……
