Life as a Gooner has been sweet and good lately. Winning twice at Anfield and coming back from behind against traditional foe Manure were the highlights with the poor display at Brammal Lane being the only blip.
Now it is the time to face our neighbour Tottenham Hotspuds twice in a week to grab a place in the Carling Cup Final. After their sensational nine goal thriller at Anfield, confidence must be running high among Arsenal youngsters to get one over their neighbours.
Earlier in the week the Spuds had sound a warning by beating Arsenal 3-0 in the reserve league at Underhill. Even though most players from either side are unlikely to feature during the semi-finals it should be taken as an indication of what the Spuds intend to do during the clash.
In between the two legs there is a matter of the FA Cup fourth round tie against Bolton Wanderers at the Emirates. It would not be easy against Sam Allardyce's team, as it had been in previous encounters. These three matches could possibly make or break the season for us, defeats would leave the Premiership and the Champions League as our possible chance of silverware this season, and even those are long shots by any mean.
