After the win against Wigan, Wenger was clearly planning to rest most of the players for this final fixture in the group stage. Toure, Clichy, Sagna, Nasri, Fabregas, Walcott, Adebayor and VanPersie were missing. I wasn't expecting much when Arsenal.com announced the squad. It was a clear ploy to rest some players.

I was expecting this. A tie away from home is always tough and poses a whole different challenge. It was too much for the kids and they just flunked. Burnley had the hunger to win the game more and that was clear during the game. We could have done better, especially Randall and Bendtner. Their goalkeeper had a nifty game and thwarted our forward line on several occasions.

Phew. Finally. We needed a break and there it is. A win. Against Chelsea at the Bridge. I can't think of a better 'break' that we could've got.!
It was a strange game. Both teams were never at their best, Arsenal were never at their passing best and Chelsea was never close the what they used to be at the Bridge.

Bummer.
It's been so hard. Harder than ever. We seem to be slipping deeper and deeper into a crisis and are in a desperate need for something to lift the players morale. Sadly nothing happened today that helped the players.
Without Fabregas and Adebayor, our team can do nothing.

After the win against i was hoping that this was the morale boosting win that will eventually our season around. Hope is a good thing as some one said, but it didn't last long in this case. Back to earth after a morale crunching defeat against Aston Villa at home.
Wenger maintains that it's too early to judge the title chances.

Injuries to Sagna, Adebayor and Walcott. Red card to Van persie.
And another 3 points dropped.
No Walcott. No Nasri. Denilson and Diaby in their position. No one to help Fabregas in creating opportunities.
I'm gutted. Yet again. Wenger seems to be clueless. I can understand having confidence in the players we have.

I watched the game yesterday. I went to sleep after that, almost weeping. I woke up today and the first thing i checked was if what i saw was just another nightmare.
Sadly, No. It is the truth. Arsenal 4 - Spuds 4. I know I'm not the only one gutted. And i don't think anyone would be more gutted after a result like this.

England lost to Croatia 2-3 last day. Steve McLaren was sacked today. Tomorrow, we'll read how Arsenal were the sole cause for it. How Arsene Wenger brutally murders English talent. How he has something against Englishmen. How he and his foreign contingent degrade the quality of the England side and so on.
