Bubbly re-corked as bubble bursts
Okay, we may have lost the game but the campaign remains ours to win, especially as we remain convinced Arsenal and Liverpool are too far back, and see that Chelsea’s implosion shows no sign of abating.
That said, I cannot deny it: that last 12 minutes at the Emirates hurt like few such periods I can recall in recent times. So we were right, as I suggested last week, to have some fear faced with Arsenal. Those of you who often email in to complain that I am too complimentary of Wenger’s outfit might want to give it a rest this week in light of their admirable, United-like stickability.
