Two steps forward one step back

Well it seemed as if things were going in the right directionn. Firstly we had a three nil victory over Bolton. And in this match something very cool happened. Robin van Persie scored twice which took his total for the club up to 100. Awesome. Then there was the mid-week Olympiakos game. It was a very strange game. On the one hand Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored a lovely goal to become the youngest English goalscorer in the Champions League and Andre Santos scored his first goal for the club and Tomas Rosicky was captain. But on the other hand there was some extremely sketchy defending going on leading to the narrowest of escapes with one of their shots cannoning off the crossbar. But still the boys held it out extremely well and above all we were the ONLY English team to win in the Champion's League mid-week. But then the derby happened. A two one loss to Spurs. However, there aare things that must be considered. One: their forst goal was a handball. A clear handball. Again officialdom contrives to rob us. Two: for most of the game we were the better team. And that is a very important thing to keep in mind. The level of performance was much improved and we still have important players on the sidelines. Also  Francis Coquelin played very well in the centre of midfield. The boy has potential. It always seems like I'm saying the same thing after these results but I really do beleive its impoortant to find the positives. Because that's what being a football fan is. You don't just give up when its difficult, that's not how it works. When your team is struggling you just have to scream and cheer a little louder and with a little more feeling. You get behind them because if you don't, you shouldn't have been there in the first place. Because if you really love your team you can't just switch that off.
