Usually I will write a static about how Arsenal doing previous month at every beginning of month. But this time I just don't feel like it. It is full of heartache. Luckily Arsenal are still in contention of all honour available.November is just a pain. No wonder Guns N Roses made a song dedicated for November called November Rain. The only perfect November I can remember is during 2005-2006 season. Arsenal win all the match that month in all competition. I think not even The Invincibles manage that achievement during November. Other season it all have been bad. Most of the lost comes from November also.
What make my heart ache very much is how Arsenal can lead the table on November. Other title contender didn't do well either on November and keep on dropping point. Arsenal shouldn't have lost the home game against Newcastle and Spurs but miraculously, Arsenal did lose.
Just if only Arsenal draw that game, Arsenal would have been level with ManU and only become second because of the goals difference. And if Arsenal could preserve their lead against Spurs, Arsenal will be top of the table. That's what make it hurt very much.
Not just November, Arsenal have a lot of occasion to take the pole position but somehow fail to grab the chances. Chelsea and ManU are not improving from last season in fact I think their standard have drop a lot. Arsenal have improve but however fail to grab the opportunity of the sloppiness of Chelsea and ManU.
If Arsenal manage to go top of the table, it just won't last more than few hours before it was taken back. It have been so close but yet it feel so far. We look at the table, it only two points but it take so much effort to reduce the two point gaps or even overtake the table leader. Thinking about it make me headache only.
So, coming to this month, I'm looking forward a better fortune and better result. I don't take the excuse of biases reffereeing, lack of luck or it just not our day. I want Arsenal to demolished all the team that have been an obstacle to them. Arsenal are capable of doing that and I want the pottential turn into result.
Next stop will be Fulham before we have ManU and Chelsea in December. Go on you Gunners.. Keep the faith..
