*SIGH* Arsenal breaks my heart once again

Saturday, March 27, 2010

For those that don't know, I am a HUGE Arsenal fan. Have been since I was a little boy.  As we all know, Arsenal has failed to win a trophy in quite a few years and I, as well as other Gooners out there, really hoped that this season would be the one.  Time after time we were counted out of the title race, and time and again we fought hard and got right back in it.  We have won six straight premier league games and today we looked to add a very crucial seventh, and Arsenal disappoint.  Birmingham isn't an easy side for sure, but when you are in Arsenal's position, you HAVE to leave with the 3 points.

Where do I even begin to complain and say "this is what surely cost us the game" ? Just when we all thought Almunia was stepping up his game, we see that horrific display of goal keeping.  And this is one of Arsenal's problem. We the supporters know it, the players surely know it, and Arsene knows it. So why hasn't anything been done to fix it?

Arsenal does a tremendous job of getting your hopes up and then proceeding to let you down. They do this without fail. I really want to hear what Arsene Wenger has to say now, it'll probably go something like "we showed a lot of spirit and character, blah blah blah" Chelsea and United are surely going to drop points, but the way the math is looking right now, they'll have to drop a great deal of points in order for us to go top, and I, frankly, don't see them dropping those points.  Champions take the title, they don't hope that other contenders deflect in order for them to advance.  Arsenal does not deserve this title, and it hurts to say, we clearly aren't ready for it. And that has nothing to do with the youth of the squad.  Arsenal has been in this predicament many many times and they don't seem to have learned from it. It just may be too late now. I'm sick of it as I'm sure you all are.
