It was fun while it lasted.


I won't go into details about the match, because quite frankly, there is nothing much to say.

Arsenal's season is pretty much over, with a very slim chance of getting third. Though I wasn't overly confident that we'd get through to the finals, I did not think that we would struggle the way we did tonight. It hurts to see Manchester United, of all teams, to win, and Cristiano Ronaldo, of all players, to score. I've cried all the tears I could during the match, and all I am now left with is a numb feeling.

It hurts to reminisce on finer Champions League moments...like the penalty shootout against Roma, Adebayor's bicycle kick goal, and Theo's chip, without feeling remorse afterwards.

That all being sad, I have high hopes for next season. May this be a learning experience, for the players and Wenger. Make the changes that may be needed, get those players out of injury, bring that soul back into football, have Andrey Arshavin in CL (!!!), and we can be unstoppable. We're not far off at all. It's very well possible.
