Arsenal 2 v 2
Manchester City
Sczezny
Debuchy Mertesaker Koscielny Monrael
Flamini
Sanchez Ramsey Wilshire Ozil
Wellbeck
City
lined up: Shampoo salesman, bald, decent fullback, Kompany, expensive
centre half, expensive fullback, very expensive midfield, hugely
expensive striker, with ten quazillion quids' worth of players on the
bench.
Then
they kicked us off the park.
We
started well. Wellbeck looked lively, and likely. He's going to be a
handful for opponents. The team started well, generally. We cloed
them down early and intelligently, and looked much the more likely to
score. Wellbeck hit the post after being put clean through by a
sliderule mistake by da Silva.
They
hit us on the break and we conceded from their first effort on
target. Something we've done in every league game so far this season
(okay, only four, but that's four times the first effort on goal
we've faced has seen us go a goal behind). Decent movement from
Aguero and a good finish. Flamini may have done better, but, hey,
no-one's perfect and he kicks S***s player up in the air more than
anyone else, so I won't have a word said against him.
I
watched this on the computer. I'll never pay for BT Sports as long as
they employ Michael Owen (merely boring and annoying) and Steve
McMamaman (just very irritating), but especially, now, the dirty
clogging ginger little shit Paul Scholes. What a negative little twat
he is. He couldn't find a good word for anyone or anything Arsenal
(bad memories, Paul?), didn't take back the verbal pasting he gave
Jack Wilshire before the kick off, and is the living definition of
ginger tosser. Get rid of him as soon as possible, BT.
64
minutes in and Jack Wilshire scored a great equaliser, good move,
good control, good finish, and after 73 minutes we were ahead through
Sanchez, a fantastic volley after Jack kept the ball alive, alertly
winning a header and getting it back to Sanchez in the area.
One-nil
down, then ahead, against the defending champions, conceding a second
and having to settle for the draw didn't feel so good, but then they
had the better chances very late on to win the game, so we've no
complaints, really.
Two
things were surprising:
- That a footballing side of ultra-expensive world class players resorted to repeated fouling to break up the rhythm of the game when they were a goal ahead.
- That a referee cursed with being pedantic enough to book Sanchez for a shirt off goal celebration, suddenly became less anal when a City player kicked the ball away, a standard and designated yellow card offence that would've seen them down to ten men with us still a goal to the good.
Unbeaten
in the league = good. Too many draws and already so many points
behind an awesome-looking Chelsea = bad.
