c'mon you gooners...

It has come down to this.

They are out of the Carling Cup.

The FA Cup is finished.

Winning the league isn't looking so great. It's gonna take a win at Old Trafford this weekend to even have a chance. Of course they got it a 1-0 result there last year.

But today is the day for glory. This is the last chance for silverware this season.

A chance to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The only hiccup is that they are playing one of the most annoying teams in all of football - Liverpool. They love to slow the game down and make it ugly - a real rock fight if you will. This is a club that is undoubtedly still stuck in 80's. Hey it works in these knockout competitions but fails them over an entire season.

I'm not really sure if I can get out of work to watch it live which is of course dagger city. I have an open gym date later tonight in Springfield which could force me to put off this game until well after 10pm. Damn these midweek European club competitions. Actually I will take the blame for not being independently wealthy.

I like Arsenal to go through 2-1 with goals from Adebayor and Fabregas while conceding an own goal from Senderos. That guy is a walking own goal/red card waiting to happen.
