Canaries devoured, now to catch that Cockerel

THE more morbid amongst us might already be donning sackcloth and ashes, if any of them are gullible enough to accept as gospel, the incessant reams of “red top” media claptrap.

Having prematurely sounded the Arsenal’s death knell earlier in the season, they would now have us believe our manager will soon throw the towel in, accepting top billing with our last remaining world class talent, in the Arsenal’s remake of the Exodus.

Despite the looming inevitability (with each passing season) of the dawning of the day when Arsène Wenger eventually decides to hand over the reins, or the dreaded moment when Robin van Persie finally hangs up his red and& white shirt for the last time, why bother brooding on such permutations in the future, when there’s so much to savour right now?
