Thierry Henry out for the season
Yet another blow to the team… Scans show the damage to his stomach and groin muscles will put him beyond the touchline for at least three months. Rest up and get well soon, Thierry.
Is it me, or does it seem like the whole season just came crashing down around us in the past few weeks? Don’t get me wrong… I’d still be watching my beloved Gunners even were they -20 points deep into the drop zone. Hell, I’d even be in the Emirates for every game if I lived closer. But it just sickens me to see so much go just so horribly wrong for this team all at once. The rash of injuries, the suspensions, etc… it all just piled on at once… just when it seemed like we had some real forward momentum. Hope is not lost though… there are things left to fight for.
Next year’s Champion’s League spot, for one. It would be nice to not only retain 4th place in the Prem, but if our depleted side could push Liverpool down a bit and take at least 3rd, it would be quite an accomplishment. Also, more experience for The Kids. There’s a lot of good football to play this year, but I’m very keyed up about our prospects for next year. If what we’ve seen this year is any indication of what our younger players are capable of, 2007-2008 will be the stuff of legend. Fingers crossed.
