18.02 – Arsenal 2-0 Boro (Campbell, Pires)
3 very handy points for the Gunners today. Sol gave us the lead just before half-time with a bullet of a header, and then I suffered the whole of the second half listening to Arsenal have corner after corner, chance after chance, until right at the death, Robert Pires made it 2-0. Thank god, I was just waiting for their last minute equaliser…
A good start to the festive season then, and another 3 points against WBA on St. Stephen’s Day (or Boxing day as you pagans call it), would be very nice indeed.
Top of the league for Christmas is traditionally not a good place to be, but I wouldn’t swap it. Anyway, after a wonderful root canal this morning, I’m going out to get drunk tonight. Have a good one folks.
