I was at the Emirates tonight and all I have to ask is: What is happening with Arsenal at the moment?
Arsenal had tons of chances that everyone seemed reluctant to take. When Arsenal finally scored, the belief that they could seal a victory was palpable: the place was electric. However, Hleb subsequently got suckered into a “foul” about 8 minutes before time, PSV got a free kick, scored and it was over. The lights may as well have gone out; every Arsenal fan was speechless.
Could it be any worse: Crashing out of the Carling Cup, The FA Cup and now the last thread of hope, the Champions League vapourising before our eyes? Yes; and it was the unexpected ignominy of listening to the well rehearsed and jubilant PSV crowd (a bunch of Dutch guys for godssakes) singing the chorus of, “Always look on the bright side of life” to us that really topped it all off. Brilliant.
