Where do we go from here?

Another game played, another lost. The 'Awesome Foursome' is coming to an end, with in-form Liverpool visiting us in mid-week, which is not good for us. However, despite the lost, I still, somehow, believe it not all lost yet. Wanna know why? I'll try to explain.

As you can see, all is gone for Arsenal it seems, but what made us think that when the season is not even over yet? Well, who else than the media? Their job is to make the winning team look unbeatable and make the losing team feel as if its end of the world. The whole world knows the media loves and favors MU so no doubt, the season is 'lost' for Arsenal in the papers, but I say no. Mainly because the season is not over yet and our performance this time around was better than last week's albeit coming after shipping two goals. The current season is one where any team can take points off any team on any given day. MU may traditionally have a very strong second half of the season but we shall see about that. The top 2 team, Chelsea and MU still have to play each other, plus both of them still need to play Liverpool and Aston Villa, points may still be dropped between them. We had them all, just that we had them all in a row.

All is dead and buried for Arsenal on paper, but what they have to do now, is to dig deep, dig deeper than they ever dug before. We are in a position where after this extremely difficult period, provided we still do our thing and score as many points as we can, we can still salvage something for ourselves. Self-belief is need, character and nerves of steel are required, just take one game at a time and we shall see what we get. Well, I may sound overly optimistic, but hey, I love the club, and I hope they can do themselves justice after a promising start, only to have our spear-head taken out for nearly three quarter of the season in an international friendly, on my birthday...Come on you Gunners!!! Don't give in now.

As for Robin van Persie, if you happen to read this, please get back as soon as possible. There are reports saying you may be back earliest by mid-march, and I really hope that ankle of yours can fully recover by then and drag us across the finish line in a position better than the current one. Get well soon Robin as Bendtner is not our answer, seeing him running as though avoiding the million of nails on the floor is less than convincing.
