I highly doubt Arsenal will make the Semifinals. This ridiculous unbeaten streak will come to an end eventually, and I have a feeling it will come later down the road in the season. Basically right around the Quarterfinals of the C.L. This could spell disaster for Arsenal in Europe. If Arsenal couldn't do it the past two years, what makes anybody think that they will do it this time around? I would be more skeptical then optimistic.
well if you watched Arsenal's games at the EPL,you'll see that this season,Arsenal is not all about Henry anymore which was our problem the past 2 seasons,Henry would get something like 25-30 goals while the 2nd top scorer in Arsenal would get something between 8-12 goals,another thing is that when Henry isnt on form Arsenal arent on form either,but this season all that has changed,in the community shield match Henry played a terrible first half and then was subsituted,but did we lose?did we perform poorly?
plus how many goals does Reyes have now?5,how about Pires,Ljungberg and Bergkamp?3.
another problem in Arsenal the past seasons was if one player goes missing,we dont have a substitute that fills his role.but the situation is different this season,if Henry doesnt play we have Reyes,who's already the top scorer of the EPL,Bergkamp - Van Persie,Graham can tell you about this kid cuz he watches Feynoord,Pires - also Reyes,Ljungberg - Pennant.
Vieira - Fabregas. Gilberto - Edu, A.Cole - Clichy, Lauren - Hoyte .......etc
