Since I do not really have much to write about, I'll just comment on the Wolves vs Arsenal game which just ended not long ago. Sue, sorry yea, bear with me =). The game ended 4-1, with Wolves's manager promising that they will come and attack us and exploit our weaknesses, came they did and exploited they did...
The game started off at a fast tempo, a little too fast for both teams but Wolves were knocking on the door on several occasions, mostly from set-pieces but they failed to capitalize, which is good news for me but it was ringing some alarm for Arsenal. But, after soaking up most of the pressure, Arsenal went one up, guess what, from a corner. Fabregas whipped in a corner, with Eduardo pressurizing the defender and who-knows-what the keeper was doing, the goal was nudged in off the defender who was under-pressure from Eduardo. 1-0 XD. The second was soon on the way, with Arsenal seeming to be more ruthless nowadays, which I hope this will continue, they pressed for the second goal. The ball was knock onto Ramsey and Arsenal broke. With only Eduardo supporting the youngster, he laid the ball off to Eduardo and with time on his side, his first time chip which seemed like a return pass to Ramsey was deflected off a defender that eventually beat his own keeper, making it a glorious chip by Eduardo, 2-0! Just before half time, Arsenal got the needed third goal, as an assurance and they got it off a slick move which was initiated by Fabregas who passed to Sagna and surged towards the opposition penalty area. Sagna then pass to van Persie who made a run towards the near post to lay it off Fabregas who continued his run to slot pass the keeper, 3-0!
The second half was more of a boring affair, with Arsenal playing safe while attacking occasionally, the fourth did arrive, from Andrey Arshavin! Wolves's keeper punched a corner and Arshavin reacted well to hit on a volley on the edge of the penalty area to beat the keeper. A goal of excellent technique. However, we did concede, it is like a custom nowadays that Arsenal must allow a goal to enter their net at least once in a game. It was from a corner which a Wolves's player, a free header....4-1 it ended...Ramsey was given a full 90 minutes, which he did well when the team attacked but committed a few school boy mistakes which is quite worrying but in a game against a 'smaller-team', I think we could allow him to learn. Nasri and Rosicky were given time to find their match fitness which is good to see them back. Van Persie could not continue his scoring streak but did had an assist. Vermaelan was ever solid and Gallas wasn't too shabby as well. Arshavin scored which is a good thing and Fabregas is still on form which is vital. But most notably is the presence of Song, when he came on, Arsenal looked more solid, but he will be away for the African Cup of Nations, so its an area that Wenger should thinking about. 4-1, we swept aside another 'smaller-club' and keeping pressure on the top 2 which is good. We have every chance to win it this year, Go GUNNERS!!!
Did I ever mentioned that I got infected by a virus which caused me to have fever and a heavy flu? If not, then now I'll write about it briefly, it happened before Genting and I just shaken off the flu completely like 3 days ago, but it seems like the virus is not completely out of my system yet, which caused me to have either headache or dizziness during the past week. It happened everyday, literally. So, I went to the doctor just now and got some more medication. Hope this time I'll fully recover from the virus. Take care people! Signing off...
