Arsenal’s November march continues with last weekend’s win at Norwich and last night’s win over Borussia Dortmund.
After a disastrous start to the season so much so there were even doubts on our continuance in the Champions League (especially as we didn’t automatically qualify), who would have believed it of us to become the first English team to make it into the last 16, to top our group with a match to spare (and correspondingly avoiding any meeting with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Real Madrid in the next round), and to be the only English team to be unbeaten this mid-week? Who would have thought the future of Chelshit, Man Shitty and even ManUre in the Champions League this season is still in doubt? Only us, the true loyal supporters, the believers, are not in doubt as to our ability to march on. Onwards and upwards and Forward Arsenal!
Cool shave: Arsenal legend Titi and tennis legend FedEx were at the Emirates, no doubt supporting The Arsenal. Cool!
Our head boy ;)

On the domestic front, young Tigers overcame hostility at Gelora Bung Karno to win the SEA Games football gold defeating host Garuda in the penalty shoot-out (they lost to Syria last night though in the Olympic qualifying match. I blame it on fatigue). The traffic was horrendous on Monday evening – I suspect a lot of KLites were rushing to get home to watch the match. I turned on the TV just after 8.30 pm thinking the match started at 8 and was surprised to discover the match had only started. Within seconds, Garuda scored from a corner. Afraid I was going to jinx the young Tigers, I switched to watch the Korean drama instead. Not to worry, Dad provided live commentary when he came back. I couldn’t even bear to watch the penalty shoot-out. Cowardly custard, that’s me.
Last but not least, if you haven’t already read L’Equipe’s interview with Arsène, check out the full transcript here.
