Only Time Will Tell

They say Time Heals All.Well that's exactly what all Arsenal fans will be reminded of given their stop-start, Topsy-turvy season so far.Last evening, after a much successful trip to the blue half of Liverpool,where the gunners emerged 1 nil winners over Everton and ensured their assent to 3rd position in the Barclays Premier League table this all but confirmed the aforementioned saying. The humiliating 8-2 result against Manchester United is now well forgotten. Then there was that January collapse as well that saw them lose three on the trot which will also have been long banished from the memories of most if not all gooners.Not to forget the biggest European defeat suffered at the hands of Zlatan led and inspired AC Milan which was quickly followed by the FA Cup exit at the hands of Sunderland. The greatest pain though perhaps that made life very much worse than it already was for Arsenal was the fact that their bitter-most rivals, Tottenham Hotspur had commanded an unassailable 10 point lead over them in the table at some point in the season. Arsenal were subsequently not only in danger of losing out on the top four slots in the EPL table available for Champions League qualification but also set to finish below Spurs for the 1st time in 17 years.However,time now seems to have healed all the doubts surrounding the clubs future,at least temporarily, halted much of the stick directed towards arguably the Premier League's best ever gaffer by his own supporters, and restored the club's status as first and foremost the best club in London, England's Jewel city and capital. It feels very good and although the season is still a few games away from completion and nothing is decided yet, the future does look bright indeed. The other two London's best club pretenders Spurs and Chelsea lock horns in this weekend’s high profile North-London Derby which will certainly see either one or both of them drop points further while the gunners will entertain Aston Villa at the Magnificent Emirates stadium a venue where Arsenal have only lost two Premier League games this season. As it stands now, its Arsenal in 3rd place,1point ahead of Spurs and six ahead of fifth placed Chelsea. Not so bad for a side so badly written off so many a times already, wouldn’t you agree?
