18.05 – Arsenal 2-1 Fulham (Pires 2)
Well, there’s leaving it late and there’s leaving it late.
Not much left in the way of fingernails round these parts, a serious amount of coffee has been consumed, children have been thrashed to within an inch of their lives for daring to disturb me during the game (I don’t care if you’re projectile vomiting all over the bathroom right now. After the game I care), and it was all a bit tense.
We took the lead through Bob, Malbranque or Marlet or one of those French M dudes equalised for the Cottagers….heh, cottagers….and it was a second half of despair, hope, more despair and finally mad jumping in the air as Bob scored the winner in injury time after we’d gone close loads of times through Jeffers, Henry, Vieira and a Gilberto shot that hit the post.
Phew.
An important 3 points as United beat Southampton 2-0 at St.Mary’s. No doubt their fans will be as gutted as we were when they scored last minute winners against Chelsea and Sunderland.
Welcome to a brand new month by the way. It’s the customary greeting at the start of the new lunar cycle, and this month sees Arseblog reach the ripe old age of…er….one. I’ll tell you later how to send birthday presents….*cough*…. Enjoy the rest of the weekend gooners.
