"Arsenal...Arsenal....!!"
Inside the Emirates Stadium, as the match approached the 80-minute mark, the cheers from Arsenal's fans gradually intensified, though a hint of tension was inevitable.
Playing at home, if they allowed Fulham, ranked among the lower half of the league table, to hand them their first defeat of the season, it would surely affect the players' mentality.
They were not afraid of failure... to many seasoned fans, they had long adopted a calm acceptance towards the result of single matches.
But they feared that the team, which had been advancing triumphantly this season, might be struck, making it difficult to find the momentum for consecutive victories again.
This is what truly matters!
The league championship, an honor that has haunted Arsenal fans for so many years, finally showed a glimmer of hope this season.
Who can contain their expectations?
Who can suppress their worries?
