It's been a poor season so far, and our side of a few seasons back when Eduardo got murdered at Birmingham would have pissed all over these lot. Man Utd, Chelsea AND us, have gone backwards IMO>


or maybe the playing field is more even nowadays which makes things MUCH more exciting.

I reckon it's a combination of the top four (manu, chels, Us, liv) having gone backwards, and the rest getting slightly better. The gap was HUGE last season. We lost six games last season and finished EIGHTEEN points behind Man Utd. We've already lost six, as have they, and we're 2 points behind!

The emergence of Man City and the organisation of Everton have had a BIG say in proceedings.

Whereas Chelsea play the likes of: Aston Villa, Man United, Tottenham and Liverpool, and United play: Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham, our toughest games are Man City and Tottenham!

Looking at those 3 runs, we definently have the easiest, by far. Realistically, we haven't had a better chance in recent years than now, and the boys need to capitalise. Their reaction after Ramsey's injury was very encouraging to me, and after the experience with Eduardo, maybe they will band together even more.

If they can capitalise in the home stretch, we could very well be celebrating our first silverwear in 5 years!!!!

The ace in the hole is that Chelsea vs United match. a draw would be pricelss

But yes, one game at a time, just focus on the next match. All we can do is try to win; forget about what happens outside our control.

Wenger: We want to win the title for Ramsey

Dear Arsenal Supporter,

We were in the title race before the Stoke game and mathematically we got closer to Chelsea on Saturday because they dropped points. It strengthens our belief and our determination and we will fight until the last game of the season to win the League.

But of course our 3-1 win was overshadowed by the serious injury to Aaron Ramsey. I didn't see many bad tackles in the game but that one was and it makes me very sad. To lose a player of that quality at 19 years of age when he is just starting his career is just horrendous. It is difficult to accept.

I cannot do anything about it of course. The players are professional and they have to respect the rules and each other.

I would prefer to give my support to Ramsey rather than to play the judge. He is a young, fantastic talent and for a boy of 19 with his talent to be kicked out of the game like that is beyond words. I could not even enjoy the win on Saturday night because it is so sad to see that.

As you could see our players were shocked by the incident. You could see that they moved away from him. For five minutes our game was affected because we did not play. After that we got back into the game and showed great character to win it.

The title race will be tight until the end but this group is so strong mentally and have a unity so Aaron’s injury will give us one more reason to fight until the end and do it for him.

We had other problems two years ago when Eduardo was injured. But on Saturday we had a midfield of Nasri, Fabregas, Ramsey, Song, Eboue – with an average of 20 or 21. Up front, Bendtner is 21. At their age, to handle the game like they did is absolutely remarkable.

Thanks for your support.

Arsene Wenger

Strange for Wenger to write something like that. After Cesc, Ramsey really was the apple of his eye, it seems. He must be F##king livid.
