Advantage Arsenal

Howdy, what a week! On top of those really great-looking red objects, Man utd lost to Man city fair and square and rectangle, and Arsenal smashed 2 in against black 'rugby' burn and go clear by 5 points. 5 sweet fat points. Though a freak weekend for arsenal might change everything, i am feeling optimistic. Oh yes, i am.

Senderos' goal was routine but it was one that might prove to be crucial. We are now one goal more in terms of goal difference compared to SAF's divers and in a bruceleeshirt tight situation like this, all this lil details matter hell lot. Ade then picked up his 19th league goal of the season (oh yes, togonator is flaming) and although i must say i have my doubts regarding Ade being arsenal's lead striker, i am now won over. Just like thousands of others, i hope. I saw how he flick the ball up with his 1st touch and while under pressure, fired a well-placed finish into the bottom corner. It was those kind of days where the keeper would have thought "how in the blue hell did he do that 2m in front of me?"

Arsenal had shown strength and depth whole season long and this just further proved the point: Arsene knows. He did not make any buys during January and kept his faith in his makeshift squad which lacked more than 6 1st team regulars. Masterstroke. We love wenger, dont we?

I'm happy to see senderos playing so well, same goes to flamster, ade, cesc, hleb and co. In fact, i am so impressed with the team right now, i could.. erm.. buy that arsenal cap i saw in royal sporting. No serious, i feel like singing arsenal songs in the middle of the lectures. In fact, i have been doing just that these few days, much to my classmates' annoyance. No worries, they will become arsenal fans too when i bring out the arsenal side in them. Yes, there is an arsenal side in every one of us, you and me.

Next up are the divers and the EuropeInvincibles. Pretty daunting task even by Arsenal's high standards. I have faith though, all we need is faith and everything will fall in place. Shine gooners!

It would be before long when we sing:

We won the league at Manchester,
We won the league at Old Trafford,
We won the league at Manchester!

AHHH! C'mon you gooners!
