Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reflected on an “horrendous” spell after their 2-1 aggregate defeat to PSV Eindhoven put them out of the Champions League.
In the space of 11 days Arsenal have lost the Carling Cup final, exited the FA Cup and been knocked out of Europe – ending their hopes of silverware.
He said: “There are a lot of positives….
There is one consolation: now we can all get behind Spurs in their EUFA cup campaign tonight. You know it makes sense.
It goes without saying that in normal circumstances I would be supporting Spurs. However it seems that Braga, Spurs’ opponents, have a prior claim. As I read in my morning paper, “Braga’s coach in the 1930s, José Szabo, visited Highbury and was so impressed that he changed the Portuguese club’s colours from green to red and white. The club are nicknamed “The Arsenalistas”.”
So, go the Arsenalistas!
José Szabó must have been a Hungarian to start with. Thats a Hungarian name – indeed one of the most Hungarian names – he is sporting there (szabó=tailor).
The Arsenalistas didn’t go very far last night. Or very fast.
As a follower of West Ham I can only get out my onion …
