how bad could it get?

so arsenal lost 2-1 at west brom; hamburg lost 1-0 at home to wolfsburg; ajax drew 0-0 with heracles. valencia plays malaga tonight.

i am still adamant that wenger was right to have let vieira go. now henry might leave. he can leave. seriously i hate to say it: he's important, hes a very brilliant player, but how brilliant is he, actually? look at how he plays for france. he does nothing much, except the occasional flashes of magic. i must say that the last few matches i watched of arsenal, with henry playing, henry doesnt play like henry. maybe out of form. but i have this nagging thought that maybe, henry has become too inconsistent a player for us to bank EVERYTHING on. he is different from the player he was during that unbeaten season. maybe he used up all his brilliance then. i mean baraja and albelda dun look quite the same as they did during that magical valencia season anymore. yes. magic can come back, look at rafael van der vaart. but henry..i dunno about him anymore. if he's heart isnt here, he can leave. sad isnt it? the moment you have trouble, people want to leave. like ashley cole. all good teams will break up in the end. heard of the busby babes? they were gone on that night in munich, plane crash. ajax has seen so many changes in 7 years. in 1995, we won the champions league and the team broke up after that. after success. the team of 2002/2003 broke up too. chivu, zlatan, o'brien, van der vaart, pasanen. maxwell is out wif injury, he might leave too, trabelsi is 90 percent leaving on a free after this season. pienaar maybe leaving too. the changes at arsenal are nothing, compared to what happens at AmsterdamArena. great teams can rise again. at first i was thinking, this season is rebuilding, renewal. maybe next season will be too. maybe the season after that too. the point is, i don't believe in this life, i can never watch arsenal win again. i don't believe ajax can never win the champions league again, nor valencia the la liga. and holland the euro and world cup. but i would very much love to see this generation win of course. they have been a very big part of my life. i have the faith we can win again.

unless of course, the world ends tomorrow.
