Sure, Arsenal lost the league before yesterday (in which I though Clichy was MOM – he was magnificent), but you can’t win the league with lots of long term injuries (see Man U two years ago). If Flamini leaves in the summer they’ll need two top quality central mids and a centre back, but I think Wenger will only buy the one mid and one defender. Maybe that means he’ll actually play Diaby in centre mid. Who knows.

Hats off to Arsenal – they’ve played really well this season, suffered a really poor run of results, yet still competed in the league and two cups. Only Man U and Chelsea have matched that.

Arsenal are still very much a work in progress, in a year’s time I have a feeling they will have taken another step forward.

I hope, anyway.

Outplaying teams is one thing – still being in a for a trophy today is the real trick.

By that rule Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Portsmouth, and Cardiff are having better seasons – and in a years time we will only remember trophies not how well people played!
