The boys are back in town, but lets wait a while eh?
Well it looks like were back on the rails, for the 6th time, lets hope we can stay on them eh?!
Well what a game that was, a bright start was utterly pointless after an unlucky Djourou own goal, and the rest of the first half was total Chelsea, but they reminded me of us on occasion, plenty of possession without creating anything. And i have to say it, our defence looked pretty much solid! shock horror!
Van Persie turned the game on its head in a matter of three second half minutes, the first was offside but we have had enough shit against us in the past year so we were due a break, Robin had it all to do though, the finish was world class on his weaker foot.
His second was just as good, he somehow turned and managed to rifle a shot across the keeper, clinical, class and 2-1 to the Gunners.
Clichy was then on a marauding run and was cynically blocked by Ivanobitch, his pace and power is brilliant and he is a big part of this team going forward.
Id also like to speak out against Phillipe Scolari, his comments are totally stupid; he said..
“OK I make mistakes but we needed a man to come to Stamford Bridge as a referee for both sides, not for one side.”
I have respect for the bloke as i admire his footballing philosophy but what the fuck is he on about? If Arsene said that he would be hung, drawn and quartered, but no, the ‘yes men’ at the FA see Abramovich waving a few tenners in their direction.
Their fans are total and utter wank as well, they made Arsene the subject of a tirade of discusting chants, the fans are just shit, i walked past someone i knew today, slipped him a wry smile and he simply ignored me. They are worse losers that Arsene.
Anyway the table now stands like this. Only eight points off the top and this season could well end up a scrappy one, we are still in the race, were hanging on but we just wont let go; and as Cesc says, we might just get some momentum now,
“We showed a different attitude and that is what we want to do from now on. We have a new momentum, but if we do not do the same, then it is not worth it. We want to be competitive again in every game and see where we can go until the end of the season. We have shown we can do it, to beat the big teams, so we can have no excuse with not doing it against the rest of the teams. We have to be proud of what we did against Chelsea because we are a young side and have had a lot of criticism.”
He does say all the right things does Cesc, a great little captain in the making this boy.
I think Gallas had a superb game on Sunday, played like a leader, acted like a leader. I noticed him telling Song to stay deeper, he also had a brilliant game and you are not going to like me for this but;
SONG IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ARSENAL.
Some of his passing is a bit poor and he is slow but he is one of those players every team needs, if he was needed up front he would play there, a bit like Eboue in that respect who i really like. He adds alot to the team spirit and never gives up, a fighter.
Next up the kids tomorrow night, Silvestre is the only old git in the squad, he is to start with Vela, Bendtner. I have it said to me by a source that Bischoff will feature too, be good to see him.
Anyway, back soon, take it easy.
Take a look at Gunner14’s column whilst your at it!
