Thank you for joining together today to pay your respects. We're gathered here today to honor the death of one of our most loved and cherished friends. Arsenal FC's dreams of domination for the 08/09 season are well and truly dead. No, the season is not over yet, but our dreams are. Certainly our beloved club is still in the running for three of the four major competitions but we must accept the obvious, the spirit is dead even if the body still breathes.

The season held such hope. Arsenal were unstoppable at times last season even though they were shockingly young. We had faith that with just one or two more players transplanted into the body we would be prepared for a long and wonderful reign over european football. Alas, it was not to be. While Samir Nasri and Aaron Ramsey joined the club, the dual losses of Alexandre Hleb and Mattieu Flamini were too great a shock to absorb. Our play became unbalanced. The chemistry was thrown out of wack. Our child leader among men, Cesc Fabregas has been held back by a lack of a proper partnership and thus rendered ineffective.

We say goodbye to you Carling Cup. So long FA Cup. Maybe next year Premiership. We'll not forget you Champions' League.
