Fulham vs. Arsenal

2-2, Premier League, Craven Cottage, 22/5 -11
van Persie 29
Walcott 89

That's that for another season... Disappointing end for us as we've finished fourth when we not too long ago were in with a great shout for the title.. To look at things positively we'll be seing the players sooner than we had had they finished third, but then again, that's not particularly positive...

As most of the games lately we looked off in this one, sure, we have lots of possession and some decent efforts to score, but we've just looked like the shadow of Arsenal from earlier this season.
Fulham took the lead but just four minutes later van Persie got us back level with yet another great strike! With this strike he has scored 18 goals on half-a-season, making him the third player to ever have achieved that, he stands alongside Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo on that feat.

For the second half we turned up even worse, but after Fulham got a man sent off we pushed on a bit more and Walcott got us a point late in the game.

So to sum this season up, it only takes one word; Disappointing.
But we look forward to next season and there's already been some talk about new investments in the summer, no names but Wenger has mentioned he will add some to the "base" of the team... Wonder how that will turn out...

Injury Update;
-Fabregas didn't make it for this game, same goes for Clichy, who has been on the sidelines for a while as well.
