am i seeing legends in the making?

howdy we are through to the semis. It was just a little, just a little, (ok maybe more than a little) easier than what i initially expected. I did expect arsenal to go through though and they did, with style.

The emirates crowd was brilliant and i love watching european ties in the some unearthly hour like 3 am. Theo was not human, he was imbatic god like. Capdevila(sp?) couldn't cope with him, simply because he couldn't get anywhere near the man. So 10 minutes into the game and comrade eboue released a ball to cap cesc and he did, not sure if he wanted it that way but hes assist king so i shall give him benefit of the doubt, a superb cheeky flick-on and then it was theo, the ball, the keeper and the back of the net.

Theo took the ball with one touch and to be fair to the villarreal keeper, he charged out very fast. I was thinking "sidestep tt fool!" but theo just continued straight and kicked the ball into the air. Its crazy to watch at the angle the tv was showing cause the ball seemed to be floating out but as soon as the ball dipped suddenly into the side corner, theopedo has wheeled off to the supporters not unlike a certain number 14 in the past.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

1-0 up. 2-1 on aggregate. We were in control.

The subsequent 35 min only proved that we were in total control, and despite the occasional attacks they threw at us, arsenal defence (makeshift btw) proved to be sturdy. I could have sworn i was hell nervous at this moment. Thankfully the half time whistle came and went and it was second half.

Arsenal were starting to look more vulnerable, we were allowing them to play us at our own game. Then who else but the togonator scored once more.

Cesc did an inspiring header to rvp who danced around the defence like a seasoned ballet dancer before unleashing a perfect through ball to ade who took a perfect touch and finished with the outside of his foot as if it was training. Watch this goal on the replay and you can see just how much movement arsenal players make around the box. Surely you cant blame the villarreal from being bamboozled.

Obviously, our attack was a class above their defence.

Before long, comrade picked up a ball and released a fine through ball to theopedo. It is worth noting that eboue was simply brilliant throughout the game. Theo took it wide and decided to check back when some goon defender went in for a sliding tackle. Whistle. Penalty. A different goon protested. red card. rvp step out. a huge breath. a massive left foot. 3-0.

The penalty looked harsh on tv but the replay certainly showed there was contact.

3-0 and game over. Arsenal are through to the semis for the second time in wenger's proud 11 years. It effing man utd next btw.

This was probably the best and most matured performance i've seen from the gunners for quite some time. They seem to be in flying form and surely they can bring this good form to wembley this saturday and gun down the russian-money-plaything.

The players were fantastic. Fabianski was spot on in his decisions. Sylvester was actually good! Song is now evolving like a pokemon to some level 238453 monster and gibbs hardly put a foot wrong. Captain Cesc and Co gives me the feeling that i am watching legends being born. Lets hope i am right.

I am proud of the gunners and i love arsenal.

By far the greatest team the world has ever seen.
