Yes, this is a post about THE game.
When watching the Udinese game, I was wary about this game. Udinese were a threat on the coutner attack, but did not put away the chances that they had. I was aware of the pace that ManUre have, and also was aware of the skill. When talking to my manager at work about this, I did say that I hoped it would not be another 6-1 thrashing, that being the last time we went to Sold Trafford with a depleted squad.
Anway, Arsène is hurt by this, as are all the Arsenal fans. But at least the club have decided to pay for those who went to watch our humiliation to watch another away match.
And while I am going to be laughed at a lot about this at work, at least the scum were beaten. But not as badly as we were.
At the end of the day, there are no excuses. ManUre were outstanding, we were not. Some of our players were already beaten when they stepped onto the pitch, and our defence was all over the place. But, the past is in the past. I still think that we can win something this season. Though I have to admit that we are going to have to get a lot better for this to happen, that and get very lucky. But in Arsène we trust. And I know that I am clutching at straws when I say this, but I do think that we are going to get better this season. So long as the players can recover from this and the other fans do not call for the head of Arsène, for after all, who else are we meant to get who would be anywhere near as good as him? Anyway, here is hoping that the new players coming in will be up to scratch, and that we can get some others in to add much needed depth to our squad. Anyway, the last time ManUre thrashed us, we won the title the next season...
