A bizzare season when only a trophy lacked from arsenal comes to an end. We had seen all, have been through every type of emotion only really a trophy was missing.
From a very disapointed start, we had a great win at Old Trafford(the first since 2002). Then we went on to be a squad without fear, with "unlimited" debt as the youngsters were just too good destroying spurs, bolton and liverpool. It was all Arsene's arsenal. Other coaches moaning about Wenger's privelegies : Benitez "I don't have the ressources of arsenal to buy players"(sic), Mourinho whining about lack of funds and lack of time to achieve Arsene's level of football... It was the greatest part of the season to be an arsenal fan.
Then came the Carling Cup final where the lads were too sublime! Playing one of the best performance of this season with a top top class display against an overwhelmed experienced multimilionnaire chelsea first team squad. It was a mad display from the yougsters with Theo scoring a gorgeous first arsenal goal in Cardiff. A goal TH14 would have been proud, he was proud of that goal punching the air from the stand. Chelsea for all their super class midfielsers did not know where the ball was. Then a goal from Drogba, from an offside position bring Chelsea back in the game. In the second half nothing seemed to change, the kids from North London dominating possession, creating chances after chances but failing to score and put the game out of Chelsea's reach. Then an unlikely accident occured to somehow destroy arsenal's remain of the season. Abou Diaby the best player on the pitch that accidently kciked J.Terry on the head, the chelsea captain lost conscience, Diaby in tears and all the kids were shaking in shock. Diaby's game was over, so was arsenal final or just should I say arsenal's season was over. A defeat to PSV in the chapions league and an FA cup defeat to blackburn meant it was a trophyless season again from arsenal.
This season has seen some arsenal displays that were just breathtaking, man U home and away, chelsea away aswell as the CC final, liverpool demolition partiess, blackburn, trashing, reading away, CSKA moscow home... Some fan killer displays sheffield united away, psv, blackburn fa cup....
Some unbelievable individual performances : Ces Fabregas how many(XXXX), V. Persie(Charlton away what a goal!, blackburn trashing, watforld away...), TH14(reading, blackburn away, boro away), Rosicky(liverpool away), Hleb(this guy is skillful, he has been arsenal brilliant at time, sleeping in oyher times).
If ther is a lesson from this season it is that big games don't win you trophies small games do.
With this side we can no doubt win it all next year but we definately need to stop dropping points from lesser opponents!
Up goes the arsenal!
