Thoughts and observations from the weekend.

Imagine if Rosicky, Diaby and Eduardo had never got injured.

We'd have won the league that season if Eduardo's leg hadn't happened.*

*Maybe. No one can say for sure.

**I'm not interested in hearing from sw on this matter. He is simply wrong.

We were bloody good, that's for sure. I was starting to love Eduardo. He was one of those natural goalscorers and exactly what we needed.

B0llocks. Now I'm feeling cross again. This whole thing has made me very cross.

We went to Milan, a bunch of callow youths, and played them off their own pitch

I have no wish to argue with you. Your opinion is yours, I have mine.

We are both seasoned Arsenal supporters, and indeed followers of the game, to acknowledge that a 5 point lead in February is simply far too precarious as to suggest it would definitely have resulted in success. This is my only issue with this ongoing argument. The belief that it was almost done, a given.

I can understand people saying it is possible we may have won the League. I can understand the trauma of the injury affecting some of the players yet they managed to hold onto the lead for another 40-50 minutes or whatever. We capitulated in said game not because of the break, because we were weak.

The manner in which we imploded told me it was a weak team and one that perhaps may have crumbled when the pressure was really on. The resultant 3 points from 9, or 4 from 12 (over to LA for ratification) was what caused the season to end.

Nonsense.

I hope I have clarified matters for you, sw.

The cut and thrust of adult debate. Love it.
