Arsenal Pay The Price!
Evening all,
It’s been a long time since i’ve been on here, due to me being extremely under the weather. However, i’ve been keeping up with things and a lot has changed since my last post after the 5-0 win
over Porto. A roller-coaster ride in the Premier League and a roller-coaster if i’ve ever seen one last night.
As many Arsenal fans, I appreciate the style Barcelona play and expected nothing more than a great display of skill from both teams, no matter what the score. I could have never anticipated
what was to come though.
Straight after the kick-off when Arsenal burst forward down the left wing I knew I was in for a good game but nothing could prepare me for the next 25 minutes.
“ALMUNIA IS GOD!!” a fellow Arsenal fan said to me. “You’re being totally dominated” was what my Bolton supporter friend said to me, which brought me to earth.
To say we were lucky to go in at the half time whistle at 0-0 is an understatement, but we showed more promise towards the end of the half which made me slightly confident for stealing a goal
in the second half.
Imagine my disappointment, not 25 seconds into the 2nd half and we’re a goal down.
I won’t go through all the specifics as i’m sure you are all aware of what happened from then until the 93rd minute, but I have to salute not only Barcelona’s excellent display but Arsenal’s
heart and spirit to come back and get the draw.
The news today:
Gallas – Out for the season
Fabregas – Out for the season
Arshavin – Out for 2-3 weeks
In all honesty, the way Arshavin has been playing lately i’m not too worried about missing him. He just doesn’t look like he wants to play in the shirt and would rather be elsewhere and as much
as I like him and as skilful as he is i’d rather an inferior player who wants to play for us be on the field.
It’s going to be tough at the Nou Camp, but with Barca’s defence weakened I don’t think it’s impossible to get a goal or two.
Man Utd vs Chelsea on Saturday.. a draw looks likely and i’d definitely welcome it.
And Arsenal play Wolves..
Do it for Ramsey.. and Fabregas.. and Gallas.. and Van Persie.. and hell even Arshavin… and the others i’ve at this moment forgot.
