Have to agree, although conceding a goal in the 88th minute left me gutted, I do feel we can come away with a certain sense of achievement, all things considering.
People who think that the things that have happened to us since lets face it January, shambles of a second half to the season, the constant media stories, Cesc, Nas sagas, the unconvincing foray into the transfer market and the Old Trafford gang rape, have not left dead wounds are seriously mistaken. The players hoepfully will come away with a confidence, sire as pros they will be disappointed it wadnt a win but it gives them something to build on. Blackburn will be a test.

I do feel empathy for those that question the tactics the team does still have problems and yhings need to be corrected but I feel we have the players (hopefully a couple more additions) to put us on the right tracks. Some have only known the sugar frosted donut era that Wenger swept in on. Not that it means anything but I have seen far worse Arsenal teams than this, if we can get the mental confidence thing right we may have a chance to get things back on track.

For some it is deep rooted, hate for Wenger is not going to go away and the frustration at times is understandable but I hope that the hate does not cloud the thinking of some, it is important to appreciate that this project may take a little more time, it is amazing what a few good results can do, and I hope to see a bit more come Saturday.
