That was excellent. I mean to score one hattrick is crazy but to do it twice agsint the same time. Unbelievable!

For the masochistic among you, consider how slight the margins were this season.

P Team Pld W D L Pts GD
1 Arsenal 38 25 11 2 86 45
2 Chelsea 38 25 10 3 85 39
3 Man U 38 26 6 6 84 56

This is how the table should have looked. Not after major alterations in our season, but if we had kept our concentration for the last 35+ minutes of the game at Old Trafford where we played them off the park. Instead we conceeded two needless set-pieces. That’s how close it was.

I know hindsight is always 20/20, and some will argue that if we had won, the other results may not have panned out they way they did, but that argument would also work in our favour, considering the morale boost a win over Utd would have given the lads. THAT”S how CLOSE it was!

Keep the faith Gooners!!

I absolutely love this article - i hate the so called ade haters.

Spot on with your Championship/Football manager comments. Addicts of the game base there knowledge of football from the game itself. I should know - i’m a recoverd Champ addict.

I’ve been of “the game” for 4 seasons now. At first it was difficult, i suffered from withdrawl, but will power and the help and encouragement pulled me through what seemed a traumatic period.

and to think i rated players such as Kim Kalstrom, Julius Aghahowa, and Pawel Brozuk… oh the shame!

Without Ade in our side, we don’t look like scoring.

Yeah, but think about how many goals Pele would score if he was playing for this side. It’s not that Ade isn’t good at what he does, it’s that what he doesn’t do (put away the easy ones) stands out so much. Love him for his work-rate and physicality, hate him for those glaring misses. And this comes from a Championship Manager addict who regularly watches Ade and van Persie fluff 10 one-on-ones per game.

I think the fans have been too hard on Ade ( my humble self not excluded) but I think he can only get better in the coming season , the only thing is he needs a worthy partner ,Jay can do it but he should not be rushed…David Villa could be the perfect partner that Ade needs to become a true Arsenal Lengend…any soccer lover who will like to interact with other fans and dicuss any soccer related issues should check out Soccer fan base dot com it is free to join.

you’re right it is hard to hate on someone who works so hard…unless you read le-grove every day

Ade should be memorialized in song for his goal at Shite Hart Lane alone. He carried the team at times (I believe he scored in something like 8 premiership games on the trot, something not even TH14 ever did) and his workrate is typically phenomenal. Hard to hate on someone who works so hard.

That Adebayor is useless, he missed a chance last night!
That match just frustrated me so much because it brought up so many ‘what ifs’.
Things would only have had to have gone very slightly differently in a couple of matches and we would be champions, still in the CL and have Ade with the golden boot. It’s amazing how a season of 60 odd matches can boil down to one or two mistakes and a cpoule of dodgy refereeing decisions. I’m unbelievably proud of what our team has done this year.
