Is this the beginning of th end?

For the first time since a decade sp*rs are ahead of the gunners in the league, at the end of the season, are playing better football and also look set to take on europe. They might well have won the game at highbury(yes, something that seemed impossible 2 years ago), and ended the glorious years for arsenal at highbury in dismay, but for their talismanic captain HENRY. aresene rested half of the main squad (if you do't consider the disapproportion of TH14), keeping in mind the semi final clash in spain in midweek, and well may have paved the way for sp*rs 4TH place finish. you can't really blame the boss for dropping his most impressive players this season onto the bench. A person not lacking in understanding the passions of the game, wengner must be credited for appreciating the magnitude of the villareal game.But for a game that would decide arsenal's future, he should have gone for the safer bet. Looking ahead to fight for the uefa cup, with their captain defending the title in europe with barcelona, is not what the arsenal faithful would hope for. Even if the villareal game ends in favour of the gunners, going on to take on barca would be too much to hope for. Looking back in the future the gunners would probably look at this match as the turning point , but more than robbie keane's goal it was the lack of them at portsmoth, bolton, newcastle, westham...... that has resulted in them being in such a precarious situation. At this moment hoping for sp*rs to slip up or winning the title at paris, against the best team in the world, is all the arsenal faithful have to cling on to. And about the goal: you can call them cheaters, but it puts them and the squirrell into the champions league and gunners rubbing their arses.
