Arse Spuds

QPR. Already relegated. Players laughing down the tunnel, all the way to the bank. A club in total disarray, full of mercenaries with no regard for the club or any one of it's supporters. Nothing to play for. Easy. Wait... This is Arsenal we're talking about, of course it wasn't bloody easy.

Kick off. a long punt forward to Walcott. Ball finds it's way to Rosicky. He crosses to the edge of the box, finding Podolski, who heads down to Arteta. Cheeky through ball finds Walcott, who stabs it in. 22 Seconds. This will be easy! After a couple of long range wild shots from them, Walcott gets another half decent chance on 25 minutes and Green tips onto the post. Should have been 2, good save, good start. I relaxed, it's already in the bag. 3 or 4, i thought, with a smugness.

Skip forward to about 70 minutes. WE HADN'T HAD A SHOT SINCE. Why? Why does this always happen? A game where we're clear favourites, usually when we're in good form and we just don't play. Thoughts of Norwich pop into mind. Or Schalke maybe. Everyone knows we're going to concede.. it's just a matter of time. As it ticks over to 70 mins Walcott gets another decent shot away after taking the ball out the sky with a great touch.

12 minutes pass, not much happens. Then they get the chance. Remy with a curler from the edge of the box. Szczesny pulls off a good save. PHEW. That was the one, and they haven't scored it. Game ends. THANK GOD. The victory doesn't mean much as Spurs pulled another lucky win. I try not to think about their results too much and just keep thinking as long as we win our final two , it'll all be fine.

Sunday comes, and Chelsea score a late winner against a weakened United side. Typical. We now really need the Chelsea-Spurs game to be a draw, because if Spurs win, we're in an incredibly different position. We have Wigan 3 days after their cup final, so we should beat them. Should. Then Newcastle on the final day. If they're still sitting where they are now (17th) I'm seriously concerned. Can our incredibly inconsistent players overcome a team that needs to win to stay up? I'm not so sure. Let's pray Newcastle win Their next game and aren't in such a difficult position when we meet. That said Spurs play Stoke and Sunderland, in similar positions. I'ts gonna be a great end to the season.
