The Gods Are With Us: Opportunity Arises.




Those of you unfamiliar with the tales in the Holy books, there is a story of Moses, a former Egyptian prince, who leads the Jews out of Egypt, and God opens up the seas to lead them to the promised land.


Well, for Arsenal, this is happening for them now, and they better take advantage of this. Their championship rivals are beginning to have the sort of injury problems we had all season, and with 6 points the gap, there are 30 points left to play for after this weekend.


Chelsea.

Their goalkeeper Cech is injured, and maybe for a month, Hilario and Turnbull are not in the same class as him. They have Ashley Cole out for the rest of the season, and with his wife leaving him, there could be a mental strain on the squad, especially since his captain John Terry also had his own issues that have seem to have left him bewildered on the pitch. Essien is also injured, maybe for two more weeks, and he is a key player.


Man Utd.

The reigning champions have had so many injuries all season, now the chickens are coming home to roost too. John O'Shea is injured, new England captain Rio Ferdinand has barely played this season and his partner Vidic has also been injured and also had his head turned by teams in Spain meaning he hasn't been selected in many games. Brazilian Anderson is out for the season with a knee injury, Hargreaves hasn't played this year, Giggs has been out and may not make the AC Milan game with a bone fracture. Nani has been suspended just as he was looking the mustard.


Arsenal.

We are now used to injuries, and even though our list is still quite long, we don't play the opposition the other two will, we only have Man City and Spurs. We do need Gallas back asap, also we need Arshavin back asap.


Lets hope the troops believe they can pull this off.
