Same Old Arsenal?

Coming up this Sunday is the biggest game for Arsenal Football Club in nearly six years. Since Patrick Vieira, with his last kick of a football in an Arsenal shirt, fired in that deciding penalty against Manchester United in May 2005, forget the Barcelona game from last week, forget the Champions League final in 2006, that’s all in the past, it doesn’t matter, what does matter is that Arsenal go out and win the so called ‘Mickey Mouse Cup’ this Sunday.

It’s a trophy that will mean so much to every Arsenal player in that team who have been criticised over the past five years for lacking the drive to win, so much to Arsene Wenger who has been criticised, even by Arsenal fans, for his transfer policy, the belief that you don’t have to spend big to win trophies, it will be a success for the way the game should be played and the way a club should be managed.
