That’s all folks!  The 2007-08 season came to an end today with that most famous of Arsenal score lines, 1-0 to the Arsenal.

Theo Walcott’s excellent solo effort 24 minutes into the first half was all it took to ensure that the Gunners finished the season on 83 points, four behind champions Manchester United, and two behind  second-place Chelsea.

It does nobody any good to think that had we won just two of our draws against the likes of Birmingham or Wigan in late February/early March, this post wouldn’t even be up yet, because we’d all be too drunk/busy celebrating.

Oh well.

The 06-07 season was frustrating, because you could see the talent, but the finished product was just out of reach. It was a necessary evil to allow the team to grow and gel as a unit. This season was the next logical step. The ingredients are starting to blend. The finished product is almost here. Everyone can see it, even supporters of other clubs have commented to me that they better get their trophies in while they can, before Arsenal sweep all before them over the next five years or so. It’s going to happen. This season was a tease as to what will come. Something’s happening here, and I for one wouldn’t miss it for the world.
