We had to play against Arsenal a few days ago and the result was certainly not what we had wished for. Then, mid-week, we had to face Liverpool away and lost 3-0. Now we have to play Arsenal once more! This is what I call a difficult week! Arsenal and Liverpool are anyway two of the top teams of the Premier League and it does not matter if you play them home or away, they are still very difficult to face. We should not also forget that we won the 3 points at Highbury in December, a result that was unexpected in many ways. However if you ask me if a qualification against Arsenal will compensate the two lost games I would probably say yes! We are really close to another FA Cup final and we manage to get through this round we have great chances of reaching the final. I hope at the end of the season that I will be in a position to say "third time lucky!".
