Wow, what a month this has been so far. The major material loss suffered, the Myanmar trip, the long hours spent at the office, the free-scoring Arsenal matches before the two recent draws (and missed opportunities, letting the manager and fans down) which ended in last night’s Carling Cup match, the return of the swine flu (at least Paris St Germain and Blackburn had been affected... just today and tomorrow and we can welcome the weekend (and Halloween) and say goodbye to October Road.
Woke up at close to 3 am this morning after fighting a losing battle against the attacking mosquitoes and watched the match (I did plan to watch it anyway but it would have been nice to have got that extra hour of sleep until the kick-off). The Arsenal kids (and men) were good and they could have scored more if not for some poor finishing. But they did enough to ensure our spot in the quarterfinal and give Wenger a win in his 750th game in charge of the club. Captain Cesc and Shava were at the Emirates too (cor! He looked so good in that cap). Speaking of Cesc, check out his interview with the Arsenal FC blog.
Oh, and Happy Halloween. We face the scum Spuds this Saturday.
