News Links:
*** It was a depressing and disappointing moment when, by a 3 minute gap from Park's initial goal in the game, Ronaldo has scored the 2nd goal at the 11th minute - crushing the hopes of the Gunners. The look on every Gunner was one of defeat..

*** It was heart-wrenching for the Gunners to watch the rest of the game, knowing that some sort of a miracle would be needed in order to combat and conquer the Red Devils. The spirit amongst the players were seemingly squashed, but not vanquished.

*** We have to give credit to our goalkeeper, Almunia, for being able to stand his ground and protect what's left of Arsenal in those 80 minutes.

*** Frustration amongst the Gunners were noticeable. Van Persie's late penalty goal could not have had more anger in it, than it had then.

*** But then again, with Arsene Wenger's track record, this is not the end - it is just an obstacle in the road to victory for Arsenal. Us loyal to Arsenal, will always believe that Arsenal's day to shine will come - just like how Wenger believes.

Gunners then, Gunners now... and Gunners always.
