Stoke City 1-3 Arsenal








However, win comes at a high, high price.
AARON RAMSEY ))):

I really feel damn sad for him. I mean, he is just 19 and pretty much in the beginning of his career. And he is a trully amazing player and to loose a player of such calibre for one approximately one year to such a horrific injury is really unexceptable! I mean, yea tough challenges are to be expected in games especially against tough teams like Stoke City but not such horrendous one! It didn't seem like an innocuous challenge to me even though Shawcross proclaimed that there was no intent in the challenge. But still..the consequences of the challenge is indeed very drastic ):
This is like what..the 3rd time in 5 years an Arsenal player goes down to a horrific injury and misses an entire year of his career. Abou Diaby against Sunderland, Eduardo against Birmingham (and this was the match that took the title away from Arsenal in 07/08) and now Aaron Ramsey against Stoke City. I am really really gonna miss Aaron Ramsey ):
But I am proud to say that I support Arsenal. I mean..the scoreline read 1-1 when this injury took place and Arsenal managed to regroup, refocus and win the game (: Credits to CAPTAIN FABREGAS and Vermaelen. ((: A Fabregas penalty and a Fabregas assist to wrap things up. And the ironic thing, perhaps, in this was that Cesc and Vermaelen seemed the most affected by the Ramsey injury and they managed to score to wrap up all 3 points for Arsenal.
And the game has horrific similarities to that match in which Eduardo got injured 2 years ago. That day changed Arsenal's season..Arsenal went from being 5 points clear at the top to finishing the season at 3rd, 4 points behind Man U. They went a series of draws where they dropped points which caused the 4 point deificit. But thank God, it wasn't the same scenario here. I guess this is a message to everyone that Arsenal is still in the chasing pack for the title.

Chelsea lost, yay! Arsenal is 1 point shy of ManU and 3 points shy of Chelsea. Yay. Arsenal will win the title..and they will do it for AR ((; They didn't on the previous two occasions but I have confidence that they will this time round. This team is special and everyone is gonna see that soon (:

I love this post from ArsenalAction, an Arsenal fansite:

Never been prouder of Arsenal this season. Very well done,Now win the league!

Well done, well f##king done lads. I don’t think I have been prouder of them this season. I’m close to f##king tears. They played like a proper team, to their full potential and with the sense of urgency and professionalism that the fans demanded. They knew the fans wanted it, they knew they needed this and so they went for it. At the same time though, we didn’t resort to their level and stuck to our morales. Don’t let his tears fool you, Ryan Shawcross is a dirty, dirty twat. Arsene got it 100% right in his press conference. People believe that Arsenal are soft and then go into tackles like that with intent to hurt and leave a mark.

We have twice come back from a bad run of form and we’re right back in it. We have a great chance to win the league now and I think we will. I think the three points from today will spur this team on to greatness.

The spirit and togetherness was great. I loved it when Cesc had a hack at one of their dirty c##ts. These boys are brothers and not afraid to fight for one another. The mental strength in this team is incomparable to the one a couple of years ago.

Obviously, regrettably, you all know where this is going to end off. However, unlike the Diaby and Eduardo incidents, I think this one will end in us winning the league which will be dedicated to everyone who was involved in us winning it. From Aaron to Dudu to Cesc to Arsene. Let us also not forget the men who stepped in and suffered with the fans during the bad times like Kolo and Gilberto. You contributed to the quality of the team and that is not going to be forgotten. Those of you who have stepped up after criticism; Gallas, Song, Nick, Samir, Abou, Eboue well done.

Get well soon Aaron. All our thoughts are with you. We will win this for you. Don’t forget people, we haven’t won this yet, but we will.

Come on the arsenal. Hold your heads up high gooners. Well f##king done.
