Arsenal Away
Wonderful weekend back in London for me with a nice performance resulting in 3 points and a small fortune in cash from bets with my Arsenal buddies.
First things first, I believe that's the weakest Arsenal team I have seen since Roman came to our club. I use Roman as the timescale as I believe he\us have contributed more than anything to the down turn in Football standing of the former Highbury club. I accept they have some other problems at the moment, but we have removed them from being the go to London club for the better footballers of the world.
For us, our latest arrival sure looked at home against Arsenal back four, bullying with ease n holding up the ball and passing back to a Blue shirt. He is super important to us ( His response to our singing to him at a corner in the 2nd half, he made plain his desire to let us know he is one of us, bashing and kissing the badge more than any new signing I can remember lol) and I feel sure there will be more games ahead where we feel more confident watching on as we add a second goal to our game tally through his goals and chances that fall off him. So often over the past seasons we have suffered watching us holding just a goal lead.
Two wins to open up the season against what must be said are very weak opposition. More difficult fixtures are sure to come, but we should feel positive with our progression and take heart in how the players are performing. They have an air of confidence about them we have seen is years gone by that left us with a huge smile on our faces come the dishing out of goodies come the end of the season.
