The 'Double' Is On..

The season is 19 games old now and we have suffered two defeats thus far. Both coming in the space of a week@Manchester. Only God knows how we deserved to win them hands down given the way we played. But no point sulking now, those two teams su#k and we don’t give a damn about them anymore. What we do give a damn about is the way we have played and dominated the opposition this term. ‘Goals, Goals and more Goals‘, has been our mantra and boy have we flourished doing that or what!?

Star strikers Van Persie and Arshavin believe that this shall be Arsenal’s season and no one can stop us ‘Doing The Double‘ come May. We@11Gunners salute men of such reverence and fully agree to their thoughts..

The Dutchman was a little apprehensive when he agreed that trophies have been something, he has seen a very less of in his time with Arsenal. ‘Just Two’ as he put it. This is what he said:

“So far I have only won two trophies at Arsenal – the FA Cup and the Community Shield. That’s not enough and I would hate to finish my career having won only those here.”

“I desperately want to win the Premier League and the Champions League with Arsenal and I truly believe that’s possible.”

He also took a moment to appreciate his teammates and how much he loves playin football the ‘Wenger Way’. He added:

“I get the chance to play with the likes of Fabregas, Arshavin, Eduardo, Walcott, Nasri and Rosicky – great players who play a beautiful game. “Then I watch some teams on TV and think: ‘Oh my God, this is so ugly!”

“That helps me realise how special it is to be at a club like this. I want to win it all with Arsenal.”

Arshavin too, agreed to the above in equanimity. He heaped praise to the brand of football Arsene believes in and fully backed his Manager’s foresight. He said:

“Arsene is extremely revered at the club, and deservedly so. After all, with Arsenal he has won everything in recent history.”

“There was a time when they were always winning. Maybe this time will come again. Suddenly this season, something could change. I hope this season will be better, but it has just begun. There is no order (from the board) telling us what they expect from us. We all understand well that the task we always face is to win.”

“I feel more than ever that a Double can be achieved with this Arsenal squad we have. Champion’s League and Premier League are the biggest draws and we have it in us to win them both this season. As long as we believe in ourselves, we remain in contention for both.”

Well he can’t be more right. Actually both Robin & Arsha put the words straight and highlighted why this Arsenal team is ‘Special’. We have started the season on fire and are already through to the next round in the Champion’s League. In the League too, we are 5 adrift of the leaders Chelsea, but have a game in hand. Glory beckons..
