*Sound of Balloon Deflating*

Well that didn’t go too well. The stars and planets have aligned and Tottenham’s “once every 11 year win-at-home against Arsenal” was apparently due. The game was pretty one sided except for the 2 goals Tottenham managed to produce. Arsenal maintained 66% of ball possession and pulled off 8 more shots on goal, although only 1 of those was actually, you know, on goal.
Words really can not describe how tingly I felt inside to see Robin Van Persie on the pitch. When he cam on, the game instantly changed. Given that he only played for a bit, he produced some wonderful changes, played well, and seems to be his old self. As usual I will keep my fingers crossed that he comes back with a vengeance.
What Arsene Wenger had to say after the match.
Arsene Wenger said before the match that if we didn’t win the chance to win the title was over, and I have to agree. Given the amount of injuries we have sustained it would be unrealistic to assume that we can win every game for the rest of the season. In addition, both Manchester and Chelsea need to drop points, which is just as unlikely.
To top it all off, Vermaelen was injured early on and is expected to be out for 3 weeks. Great. Someone really does need to do some investigation into what our players are eating and/or drinking. Just as someone comes back from injury, someone else goes out. This has happened regularly every season and I think it is probably our most significant issue. We are just too susceptible to injuries that cause multiple week-long absences.
Our season has just deflated with the same sound a large, uninspiring, two-day old birthday balloon produces. Pfffffffffffffffffffft.

Maybe Wenger style of training that make our players always got injured more than any team in EPL, perhaps any team in this world
I wonder why some fans still say we are in huge debt while the bord and even wenger said we have money to spend. We cant blame it on injury every club have there own injury list our broblem is that our first 11 are miles away from there backups let’s take the club toping the log for example they lost their first choice left and right full back a defencive mildfeder and 1 central defender if this is to happen to us we all know how worse our defence is going to be when we have traore and ebue defending fo us. Chelsea are not outstanding but is thier squad depth that kept them to this time despite our injury up front wev’e score more goal than them but look at goal difference all we need now is 1 keeper 2 defender and 1 or 2 mildfider chamark is certain so we dont need striker. We have so many mildfider but the real ones are jurt song ramsey and fabregas it’s not all about age cause this 3 are young its all about comitment and quality. One thin wenger has refuse to understand is that potential cant win trophy. His policy is not bad but we want young player with quality not potetial. Example of young player with quality are fabregas, song, ramsey, messi, jack rudwell vermelin, pato. To mention few i think is time we stop buy potential and watch out for quality. So because we have no depth we could not rotate and that leed to our injury this is the out come when players play trough pain so many of our player has play trough pain this season gallas, faaregas vamelin,song,nasri and arshavin so am not suprise we have so many injury.
Well another season down the tube! after 40 years supporting Arsenal,
it pees me off, for gods sake cant we spend some money for once? and add some playes at the back that sends a strong message to whom ever we play.And to all our own players.
