Portsmouth 0-0 Arsenal
Fizzle… well, we looked good, but didn’t get it done. Portsmouth found the net, but it was disallowed. I really had my fingers crossed for taking 3rd place from Liverpool, but it was not to be. They had us by two goals on differential going in, and that didn’t change as both sides drew. Oh well. But, I will say that despite some disappointments, particularly in the way of injuries, it was one hell of a year. And I’m proud of the way Arsenal played. Win, lose or draw… their comprehensive brand of football is just beautiful to watch. And I am already getting excited for next year. We’ve got some Emirates Cup action in July which should give us a nice preview. Until then, we get to rest and think of things to come.
