Wise or Arrogant?

That will be proven tonight when we end the 90 minutes game against Villareal. Whether Wenger was being wise by resting his key players against Spurs, we will see. We all know that before the Spurs game, it was far easier to claim the fourth spot than to beat Villareal and Barcelona or Milan. But it was not only about the next season's Champions League spot. For Wenger it was about winning it NOW. This is one cup that he has failed to win for years. TH wants the 'Champions League Winner' title to be in his CV, so does Wenger.

So I can understand that selfish thought.

But Wenger has to understand that you cannot throw in two forwards who are yet to form any kind of understanding between them. He played Reyes and Bergkamp against Spurs in the first meeting and we were struggling. Only Pires' goal saved us that day. This time, he played Adebayor and van Persie. It's the same situation. But I will not dwell on the Spurs game.

And I will definitely not dwell on the Keane's goal. I don't know if Jol or Spurs players are lying but trying to be objective, I would say that Wenger lost it. He should have known better that you can't expect justice everytime. And this is not even as close as the penalty that Villareal should have gotten for that Gilberto tackle. But to take it positively, it just goes to show how much he wants to win.

Doesn't matter. Henry's goal was good enough to wrap up the last derby we play at Highbury. Now it's all about Villareal. Come on you Gunners!
