we are the generation, can't keep us underground.

we'd won it. 98 minutes on the clock, robin van persie takes his shirt off as he celebrates the scored penalty and the crowd breathe a collective sigh of relief. not even arsenal could cock this up surely? yet when the final whistle was blown by andre marriner, a different sigh echoed around the emirates. one of frustration this time as in the 101st minute, a rash and foolish challenge by eboue in the penalty area meant liverpool equalised with the last kick of the game. i believe both penalties were the correct decisions and instead of spending our energy on questioning the officials, we need to learn how to defend a lead. argubably a fair result overall but losing out on two points has damaged our challenge for the title. its mathematically possible of course but if manchester united win at st james park on tuesday, it's incredibly difficult to imagine arsenal would pose any great threat. the game against united on the first of may will only be important if we win both our away games before then, against tottenham and bolton. anything less and i fear the game at the emirates on mayday would be relatively meaningless.
if this means playing a different style of football, then so be it. points have been dropped this season through our tendency to try and walk in the ball into the net, with a reluctancy to shoot in good positions. arsenal need a 'plan b' because that isnt always going to work. after such a disappointment, i can understand fans' anger but non-constructive criticism won't change anything and calling for wenger to resign won't help at all. everyone needs to get behind the team - we might not get such a good chance for a while and its still possible. come on lads!
