*boilk*
What is there to say about yesterday’s game against Man City? Not much, let’s be honest. It was fairly dull stuff, City seemed quite content with a point, us slightly less content than that but not much more. Vieira’s applause, despite him being a bit of a cock throughout the game (his kick and elbow on Alex Song were a bit naughty), and the subsequent jeering of Adebayor was the most noteworthy moment.
Adebayor was the perfect end of season pantomime villain, with his stupid hair and his being totally outplayed by Sylvester. The best moment of the game was RVP’s hilariously predictable ‘tackle’ on his former teammate which left him, quite literally, on his arse in the centre circle.
I think we had one shot on target which Given dealt with quite comfortably. The next time we had a shot it seemed to break the keeper’s arm and then Robin had a free kick which was a whisker away from winning the game for us. There’s really not much more to say about the football. We didn’t lose, this is good, and Fabianski kept a clean sheet (give him a new contract!). I haven’t seen what Arsene said but I imagine it’s something like:
Blimey, the match lacked a little bit the sharpness but we had some mental strength and the important thing today was to show our character. That Adebayor, what a cunt, eh?
The result means that we’re practically guaranteed third position. A win against Blackburn would do it, a point there would probably suffice depending on results elsewhere. I think what it also proves is that Arsenal did not lose and I am here with a laptop and what that says about Tom I’ll let you make your own minds up, haha.
I’m sitting here in my hotel room rather hungover, I must admit, and despite everyone being against us the Green Team won the Arseblog 5s again. My wonder goal in the final played no small part in that, almost everyone said they’d never seen a strike like it. Nearly as importantly as the Greens retaining the bragging rights for another year the trophy was the fact we all had a marvelous, fun day out in the sunshine, the company was fantastic as always and I can’t wait until next year. Thanks to all involved.
Sorry for the shortness of the blog but we’ve got to get on the road fairly shortly so I need coffee and breakfast and more coffee and painkillers and breakfast and a transporter device which will land me back in Dublin in an instant. The former all possible, the latter most unlikely.
Have a great Sunday, talk to you tomorrow,
