Dedicate this season to Aaron
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
Gooners around the world saw the nightmare of St. Andrews flash before their eyes yesterday. Seeing Thomas Vermaelen look away, visibly shaken gave enough of an indicator we were seeing another Eduardo incident happening before our eyes. And when Shawcross was given his marching orders, the St. Andrews nightmare wasn’t the only thing flashing before our eyes, so was our season. It was almost scripted, Chelsea losing at home to Man City gave us an opportunity to pounce; an opportunity we could not afford to blow.
We were up against it. Our bad record at the Britannia. One nil down to ANOTHER Delap throw in. And when we were finally getting into some kind of rhythm, the Ramsey injury. The Gunners didn’t crumble like they did at St. Andrews in 2008. This Arsenal side not only found two goals, but were denied what was an obvious penalty when Bendtner was shoved off the ball.
Three points behind Chelsea and two off United. Whoever predicted this after the Chelsea loss must definitely own a crystal ball. With United and Chelsea yet to play each other and both sides still have fixtures against Liverpool to look forward, the title is very much ours for the taking. For all those years we threw away leads in the title race, this is our chance. May the rest of the season be dedicated to Aaron Ramsey. We love you Aaron, get well soon!
