Last nights result and performance was absoloutly something else. You could sense from the kick off the side were well up for it and the fans in turn were right behind them from the start.
The question being asked pre match and for the last couple of days was will the side cope without our trusted captain Cesc.
I think the side more than proved they could……… you imagine Le Boss saying to him this morning ” Well Cesc me old son,i think we will leave you out in future if thats how they are going to fucking play”
There of course was a couple of squeaky arse time moments when a couple of crosses were put it in to our box and luckily for us there was no one there to bury it,and we went on to win convincingly and put the first leg well and truly behind us.
The whole squad were brilliant and stood up to the task and prove what an amazing side we really are. We just need to take this confidence and performances in to the remaining prem fixtures and win the leauge come May.
I made a couple of comments two weeks ago about Bendtner and expressed he still has a lot to prove to show he is good enough to play in the Arsenal shirt.
He certainly set his stall out well last night and was awesome the whole game,but i still stand by what i say he still has to prove he can do it all the time or certainly most of it.I genuinely hope he can stay fit and go on to become an Arsenal great for many years.
What was most pleasing was after the chances missed at the weekend against Burnley didn’t knock his confidence or Le Boss’s decision to start with him last night.
Everyone was a winner at the end of the day.
So we are the first English side to qualify for the quarters and to be honest i only hope we are not the only ones……..now of course we would all love to see the Manc wanks and Chavski to go out,but in an ideal situation they stay in and we avoid them in the next round also.
The simple reason being, if we are the only ones left in it then the other 2 only have the leauge to worry about and we don’t want that while we are still well and truly in the running with them.
Picture this they both qualify and we miss them in the next round. Play one of them in the semis and beat the other one in the final in Madrid!!!!
Oh yeah and we win the leauge at the shit hole again!!!!Bearing in mind if they beat Fulham in the cup, the game will be played at a later date.
Fuck it i’ll take it anywhere against anyone,but no harm in dreaming.
Great result,great performance last night, though we must now go to Hull at the weekend and ensure we take all 3 points there and carry on our march to winning the leauge.
We must stay focused from now till May and most importantly injury free,then we will all be celebrating our first trophy rolling up to Emirates!!!
9 games to go and with out doubt the easiest run in compared to our rivals,so come on guys 810 minutes…ish to play with 27 points to play for,we can do it!!!!
Leauge is without doubt our main priority,as much as winning the Champs leauge would be a dream come true,the PL is our bread and butter!!!
Let’s see how the Mancs and Chavski fair tonight and then look forward to the draw and see who we play in the quarters!!!!
Until next week Clockenders……..hope you all have a great weekend.
As always Best Wishes from all at Arsenal Scotland.
