Arsenal travelled to Marseille for the Champions League Group F clash. I was up for the second half. Found the match to be on the dull side and I was silently telling the team, ‘Come on Arsenal. A one-nil win will do.’ And when we were in the 91st minute, I said, ‘Come on Arsenal. One last attack.’ And that was what it was, literally the last kick of the match, worked by the three substitutes – Djourou, Gervinho and Ramsey. And that, ladies and gentlemen, that one minute of quality is what made the difference. The classy goal, made in the last 90 seconds of the match, more than made up for the earlier 90 minutes.
We face the Orc army next.
