I can’t believe tomorrow is the last day of the season. Then there’s no more proper football until mid-August. This season really flew by though, didn’t it? From the first day win over Everton and another red card for Sol, to Le Bob’s winner at Anfield, to Inter in Milan, to Chelsea in the CL and winning the league at White Hart Lane, the whole thing seems to have just whizzed by.
Of course, it would have been nice to see the final game of the season, but then those thundering clusterfucks at Sky did their PPV thing, so it’ll be one last game on the radio and the Arseblog IRC channel.
Arsene Wenger has spoken about how the lads must stay focussed for tomorrow’s game to achieve the feat of going unbeaten all season. He says “It would be great if we could do that but we can’t say that we’ve done it yet as we’ve still got to get through 90 minutes against Leicester.”
Ex-Arsenal left back Kenny Sansom was gushing in his praise of the boys and the way we’ve played this season, saying “Some of the football they have played this season has been out of this world. To win the league you have to be head and shoulders above the rest and they are.”
And in a show of good sportsmanship and decency, Gary Neville has been fullsome in his praise of Arsenal’s title winning season. He says “I don’t care if Manchester United had had one of our best ever seasons, it still would have been impossible for us to win the league. Manchester United haven’t lost the league, Arsenal have won it.”
I remember last season he was quite gracious when United pipped Arsenal to the post in the last few games, and as annoying as he is on the park, you have to acknowledge he’s not as bad off it. Sometimes.
So one more game to go. Then we get the trophy, have a dance, spray the champagne around and start the countdown to next season.
