Arsenal 4-1 Everton
Strange, really, strange. Since when were long balls part of Arsenal's football? I was half expecting the media to criticise Arsenal from using long ball tactics to win games and i certainly wasn't disappointed. Last season, when we couldn't convert goals from long balls, the whiners were the whining and now even when we do convert the goals, the whiners never quit. These people are harder to please than women..
4-1, imo, is a lil harsh on a everton side who played extremely well the opening stages of the game. I didn't really see them creating lots of clear cut chances but they sure grabbed their opportunity when it came. As usual, a corner came floating to the far post and bendtner(once a central defender) cant really do much as he juggled the ball with his knee and allowed cahill's studs (yakubu's head with some contact too) to tap the ball home from 4 yards. Classic goal that Arsenal always concede. Then the next 20 min was uneventful till the last few minutes of the half, where Arsenal seemed to be get back to their sleek play. But the stupid whistle prevented any comebacks.
To be honest, i was worried. Goodison park is not a nice place to be at(they're beside Anfield, shock) and we have lost 1-0 to them for like the past 4 times or smth. Then Eduardo struck. Long balls saved our skin(s). Clichy, who still does not know how to float a decent ball into the penalty area, send a super duper high hanging ball into the penalty area. Jagielka(wad name is tt?) wasn't tall enough and it took eduardo a few cool touches before stroking it past howard. Very much like playing winning eleven. Then dudu add to his tally by scoring a goal which reminded me of bergkamp, kanu, viera all combined together. One touch to send the ball across Jagielka, burst forward, shrug him away, keep cool, look cool, left foot slide home. On a scale of 1 - 10, i will rate this finish 17284. Yes it was THAT good.
Bendtner got send off for a foul which he shld not commit. Dumb really, i think he wanted to prove himself too much and tried too hard. It was a high challenge on AJ's shin and considering the glass that AJ had been the past few years, i was surprised he didn't get injured. Ade subbed on for eduardo and knocked a goal in when he dribbled the ball into an empty net as howard and yobo played charades. Super tomas then knocked in his goal, a sublime finish, at 90++ min (again). Game, set and match. There you have it, 4-1
Arsene revealed that the team had undergone spartan training. Sort of. He talked about how the team had to battle to win etc etc. We always do that, don't we?
And yea, man utd just had to lose to westham. I saw tt coming, and i saw how ronaldo missed his penalty. Man utd lose, ronaldo miss penalty, arsenal win, sweet, just sweet. So we are 2 points clear and top of the table, yea! Did i mention that the winner was scored by matthew upson? Oh yea, ex gooner crash Manutd. As the saying goes, once a gooner always a gooner.
Went for some morn bball at Raffles Boarding school today. Was enjoying myself until the sun decided to deflect its rays directly on me. And it didn't rain today so its gonna rain tmr. 2 days before i have to wear tt yucky green pants again so life's not really that exciting anymore. I cant believe i was complaining how bored i was during the holidays, silly me. Kids out there, enjoy ur holidays before they end, enjoy them cos they ain't coming back. I'm not excited about school, i know some of my friends are but i think they are going regret that when they find out how much work has to be done.
Dang, i haven cleared my desk. I was gonna do that after the o lvls but i guess it slipped my mind, though i wake up every morn to face all the cluster and stuff. Aww i gonna miss gong jiao and the daily talk-cock sessions before lessons begin. But i am a big boy now (16) and i should understand the need to move on and stop holding on to the past, yea gogogo big boy.
Right, my back is aching again and i shall go lie face first on bed for the next 20 hrs to see if it heals. Till tmr everyone, enjoy your holidays, or rather whats left of your holidays.
