Who was it who said, ‘Football. Bloody hell.’ Oh yea, Froggie.
For the first time in years, Arsenal went into the match as underdogs to their North London rivals aka scummy Spuds. Ten points separated the two teams and my, were the scums milking it for what it’s worth. Though why would anyone want to support a team that has a rooster perched on a ball over another team that has a sleek cannon anyway.
We started somewhat nervously and it didn’t help that we conceded one as early as the fourth minute and later through a penalty resulting from a dive worthy of an Academy Award for best performance as a diver. But the scums didn’t count on us fighting back, did they? That despite Mike Dean trying his best to make us lose (best actor in a supporting role) and the other best performers: Parker: award for worst pretender; Modric: award for being a scummy midget; and Bale: award for brilliant act of diving.
Sagna beat the ape for the ball and nodded it in, our fantastic captain then shifted the ball on to his left foot and then curl an incredible effort past Friedel and into the left corner. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I had the TV on mute and startled Abah with my clap when Robin equalised.
The second half started much better. By the way, a keeper can now push players in the box like Friedel did to Theo. Only if Mike Dean is refereeing of course so bear that in mind.
Then Rosický scored. Wow, you must be really shite if Rosický scored against you. Not to be outdone, the real Theo then stood up and scored a brace. Yes, that’s how you answer your critics, young man and don’t ever forget that. Keep it up and we hope to see more of them. From boo-boy to match winner, he turned the boos to coos.
Like Arseblog pointed out: ‘It’s time to remind our neighbours that one good season now and again is an anomaly, not the norm; that a cannon is a far superior weapon to a chicken on a basketball; that even the pope has no place for forgiveness in his heart for these most noxious of opponents; that he’s got a twitch; to remind them that we are The Arsenal.’ And what a difference a half-hour made, eh. More of such performance and refusal to lose, please.
Oh boy, did we do it and how. Such a magnificent lion-hearted display. To think, Arsenal did it against a side with the greatest player in the world, best English player, and the best manager in England. All together now: let’s all laugh at 5PUR2. Hahahahaha!!!
