Arsenal Have A Shot

I said it. I believe Arsenal still have a shot of winning. Winning what? The Premier League and/or the Champions League.

Can they win this?

In the Premier League, they are in great shape. Two points behind MU and a point ahead of Chelsea(game in hand) with 7 games to go. Although their remaining opponents are no pushovers, their bogeys MU and Chelsea are past them. Arsenal also have been playing with more grit recently. In their previous match, they took down West Ham 2-0 with ten men. They have shown themselves capable of taking the fight all the way down to the wire.

or this?

In the Champions League, they face Barcelona in the quarter-finals. Most people will say Arsenal's chances are nil. I would be inclined to agree. However, they play similar(if less spectacular) football to Barca and therefore with proper tactics can perhaps beat the Catalans at their own game.

So, hoping for the best, the Gunners may pull of the double!(just the Premier League trophy is more likely). However, with Fabregas back and in-form, anything is possible!
