La Marseillaise
i must say that other than the last 70 minutes of the blackburn game, the steaua game and the newcastle game, i think i managed to watch all of arsenal's games this season.
i fully agree with arsene wenger that the 7-0 demolition of slavia prague wasn't perfect. by a stroke of luck, i caught the game on replay.
the football was exhilarating at times. some of the goals were brilliant; close to perfection, even. the fifth, sixth, and maybe the fourth and seventh as well. but slavia prague are a good team that can play football. you must give them credit. they weren't as bad as they looked. and slavia prague is the team that beat steaua, scored two goals at sevilla. so they can't be that bad. but we made mistakes in the game.
so it is very simple: it wasn't perfect. it was very good, but it isn't perfect.
i think we can feel happy and satisfied, up to perhaps 70 percent. because there are always things we can do better. of course we shouldn't take away our achievements from ourselves. we applaud those, but know that the next game starts at 0-0. all over again. so we have to keep going, because we haven't won anything yet.
alot of people are waiting for us to fall. they think it can start today, at anfield.
the 7 goals were brilliant, but they count for nothing tonight. they mean nothing if we don't win tonight. because people are waiting to see us stumble. how can we give them that pleasure? we should give them the pleasure our football provides, because from what i see, there is no other team in europe that can play better football than us. not even manchester united, not even barcelona.
i want us to remember what happened last year. we were down 1-0 within 5 minutes. the game was over then. this cannot happen tonight.
i want us to remember the spirit of marseille. i want us to be like them: go to Anfield and play like you are the hosts. do not be intimidated, because the anfield myth has already been shattered by marseille. and are marseille better than us? no. of course not. if they can do it, i don't see why we can't.
go in and play with belief, because the game is there to be won.
GOD BLESS ARSENAL
