17.59 – Scuttering Shitecunts 1-1 Arsenal (Pires)
Sounded like that lot ran the show in the first half, which I suppose is fair enough, as this is the biggest game of this, or any other season, for them. A Ziege free kick from 4kms beat Seaman all ends up. I know he’s never been the best at saving free kicks, but again there are question marks over the positioning of the wall. Right at the end of the second half, Keller brought down Henry in the box, yellow card, penalty.
Robert Pires stepped up and made it 1-1. Not sure why Thierry didn’t take it, if he lacks confidence, surely there’s no easier way to build it up again by scoring from 12 yards, but no matter. A goal is a goal. Arsenal sounded a lot better in the second half, Seaman made some cracking saves and reminded us what he is capable of, and it was always likely to end as a stalemate.
Disappointing in some ways, but 4 points out of 6 over the course of a season against the scum is respectable enough. It seems like Arsenal can’t get out of 3rd gear at the moment though. We know they can play better, we know they can create more, let’s just hope they sort it out soon. If you saw the game and want to leave a match report for the Arseblog readers, please feel free to type your head off on the forum.
Now, I have to go stuff a bird up the arse. It’s roast chicken for dinner tonight.
Update: Just seen on Sky Sports News that a group of Arsenal fans were hemmed in by a large group of Sp*rs fans outside the stadium, and had to be protected by a circle of policemen after the match. It doesn’t seem as if anyone was hurt, but if anyone was there and saw what happened, please let us know.
