Congratulations on witnessing the greatest moment in your club's history.

Oh boy, the curse of Manager of the Month has struck. Just like last season, we're having a very lousy February so far, and we seriously need to pick ourselves up before the Gooners manage to build up a lead over us. As long as they're within 3 points then that's alright, as we are seriously owed a win over them by fate or Jesus or Ian Rush or whoever decides these things, and hopefully the showdown at Anfield will seal third.

But there are more pressing concerns, namely Barcelona. Good god, if we can't even beat the likes of Newcastle freakin' United then I'm not even going to be able to watch the Barca games. And apparently Samuel Eto'o (Far superior to Ronaldinho imho) is due to return for them, which is just wonderful.

I've finally given up hope on Zenden ever producing anything good, and the fact that he was substituted for Danny Guthrie while we were losing says it all really. And now Riise, apparently realising that without Warnock and Traore, we need someone to be completely crap at left-back, has decided to offer his services in that department. And from what I saw of Arbeloa, he looks like being the next Josemi/Kromkamp, although the jury is still very much out on him, and I hope he proves me wrong.

Still, Xabi Alonso has had a little break thanks to suspension, so hopefully he'll be in fine form. And I also hope the Premier League finally get their fingers out of their arses allow us to sign Mascherano, and then our central midfield will be solid enough even for the likes of Xavi, Deco and Iniesta...I hope! With Sissoko recently coming back from injurt against the barcodes, and with Kewell aiming for a return in the Barca game, there does seem to be some hope that things can pick up a bit.
