Scum 1 v 3 Arsenal

Perfect, the scum were given hope that they could finally beat the Gooners, only to have it dragged away from them by Cesc and Ade.

The day started early as these away days at the scum now always seem to. 10am in the 12pins for some wetting of the appetite before a short bus ride up the seven sisters. Arsenal started the game in an unbalanced style with Diaby playing on the left of Midfield. Almunia was out of position for a free kick and it let the scum take the lead. It woke the Spuds up for 5 minutes or so. Arsenal had chances in the first half but they were much better in the second half. Cesc came into his own and controlled the midfield. Adebayor was also lifted. Diaby went off for Rosicky and it balanced Arsenal out. The Gooners equalised on 60 minutes. Cesc floated a free kick over and Adebayor headed it in. It was a relief at the time. Almunia was looking a little shaky and the scummers missed their chance to take the lead, Cesc was not so wasteful. He crashed in a goal from outside of the area. We went mental. I have to say I ended up on the floor with a few lads crushing me from above. Get in, the spuds would not recover, they were on the floor to. Jol was serenaded with ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’. Although there were only 10 minutes to go, the scum could have equalised, Bent being a gooner, done us a favour and spanked it wide. Then something really special, cesc chipped the ball to Ade who spun and volleyed it in the edge of the box. It was a great goal, along the lines of Van Persie, v Charlton last season. It ended up being a good Arsenal performance, and a brilliant display from Cesc Fabregas, he has flourished under the limelight. Wenger said, “It shows our spirit and belief and I was very happy with our game and our mental strength and togetherness. We have showed them all again.” Whatever any scummers says to you this will hurt, the hope they had at the start of the season has gone. I was nervous in the build up to the game, I could not stand losing to the thugs from the lane. They may say it’s okay we started like this last year, but who cares where you end up when your in a battle against your local rivals, who cares if we lose next week, when your 1-down and facing the biggest amount of stick you’ve ever had, they’ll care they lost the lead again, they’ll care when a defeat against Arsenal leads to their board sacking their boss, they’ll care when they get some random bloke in to run the club who sells off the most over-valued squad in the country to get in his type of players, they’ll care when yet another manager tells them ‘we have a five year plan’. One things for sure, after beating the scum, ‘we are top ‘the league!’
