Arsenal 3 - Sp*rs 1

Alright well, i've wanted to create a blog for sometime and im sure ill be terrible at this at first so please, tell me what you think, good or bad, just helps me out. I am a gooner and I try not to sugarcoat things either I hope ;) I think if everything goes ok and the blog isnt a total disaster ill write one up maybe twice a week. Alright well,

The beginning of the game was exciting but lack of finishing from both sides was a problem. Unfortunately, I had a bad feeling when Bale went up for the free kick and Hleb didnt really do much by barely jumping up to stop the shot but it was a nice goal, enough said, 1-0 sp*rs.

If there is one team that you should put money on coming back, its Arsenal, we proved we dont just change our whole gameplan if we concede but we stick to it and play our way, and it showed. By halftime the score could have easily been 2-2, 3-3, but, poor finishing on both sides prevented that. My god, RvP was barely involved in the bloody game. Hleb should have been able to get that goal, at the very least chip it over robinson's head. Diaby had a great chance too. At the same time, ill be honest, spuds did have chances too, and playing Gilberto wasnt a great idea in my opinion, especially after he played in Mexico days earlier, the jet lag really did show in the game as he couldnt cope with berbatov most of the time. The other options though didnt look to good though. Song is good for his hair, hoyte...maybe but not in this match atleast, maybe give Gilberto a rest if needed and play Hoyte against Derby

Second half came and Arsenal looked tremendous. Berbatov should have put the game 2-0 but Kolo Toure really just is Mr. Reliable and Berbatov really just is Mr.IDontScoreAgainstTopTeams.  More chances came for both teams but come the 65th minute, Adebayor got the equaliser by a great cross from Cesc and the game was tied. We really are the team to come back, dont forget that we've gone a goal down to sp*rs the past couple of games. 16.5 million spending Bent came on and immediately had chances as he abused Gilberto's fatigue but showed that he was worth about 16 quid instead of 16 million. Keane didnt help his team either, nor did late substitute Arron Lennon. Arsenal kept on pushing and when Fabregas got the ball in the 80th minute, he showed us how good he really can be by scoring a good goal. It was nail biting to the end to be totally honest but come the 93rd minute, Adebayor just scored a sensational goal, and instantly I was reminded of Henry scoring against Barthez. Ok, it really isnt the same but it really isnt that far off either, plus its still a tremendous goal, one that does require a lot of skill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anx7r3S6hdQ

3-1 and the team that spends 3x less than the other team wins. Money cant buy you everything I guess. Clichy and Toure were really just dominating. Its great to have your wingback be called offsides. Its also nice to know that Fabregas had a relatively poor game, only 1 goal and 2 assists. Now if RvP can find a decent form and start scoring goals more and more, this team will stay in contention this year, lets hope

Arsenal are looking good for their game Wednesday against Sevilla but Sevilla just won their last game 4-1, kanoute scoring twice so its going to be a good game.

I dont like the idea of a takeover with Stan Kroenke reporting now to the Sun I believe that he is prepared to sell his shares to Red and White. Russian Oligarchs dont really look good for us, especially when theyre bad russian oligarchs(oxymoron?) Oh, and I like making fun of Chelski way too much.

Arsene Wenger has said he will decide on Director of Football anywhere from now to April-May. One of the people tipped to possibly be named is Gilles Grimandi, someone I like a lot. I like the fact that Arsenal is different from many clubs in that, Arsene Wenger wont have to answer to the Dir. of Football, rather the Director will help Arsene with some jobs that Arsene really shouldnt have to do. Glen Roeder has also been tipped, not one of my personal favorites, but I hear Sp*rs are going to be looking for a new manager, im sure the rodent is interested
