Last night's Turkish Delight and Basel's Big Match
Wednesday, 22 October 08, 09:50 AM · Comments(0)
As the rain teems down here in Basel I can finally relax after last night's roller coaster of a game. Despite the fact that Fenerbahce never really threatened to win the game (even at 2-1 it was only a few minutes before we scored the third) there was a real relief when Alex Song scored just after half time. Even allowing for the fact that we only had one regular defender playing in Clichy I'm sure I'm not the only one to think that Almunia was up there for Man of the Match last night.
However, I'm not going to let that worry me and for the rest of the year I implore fellow Gooners to sit back, buckle up tight and enjoy the ride we're embarking on this year and, hopefully, for a few more years to come. It will be nerve racking, stimulating, remarkable, unpredictable and, sometimes, a little depressing but it's better than being boring or just fielding multi-million pound bought players. Well that's my view anyway.
Meanwhile, here in Basel, the local team are getting ready for the visit of the mighty Barcelona and, with a mere nil points so far, they need some luck, divine intervention of great magnitude or a really wet pitch to maybe get a result. Well the rain here has been constant for 2 days so maybe, just maybe we'll get repeat scenes of the Switzerland v Turkey game (see below)during Euro2008 but I still think it's asking far too much. However, Barcelona have been know to slip on a few banana skins so let's wait and see.
