Can i get a 'fuck yeah!!'?

A.S : Here's a bit of trivia for you....This should actually be dated 18th september 2006.

That's all that can be said... actually theres way more to say but that just about sums it up. The performance wasn't as convincing as i'd like but 0-1 at old trafford isn't a mean feat. Even for the mighty Arsenal. It's a great relief that we have finally shaken off those first 3 torrid games, and gotten a result that actually reflects our team.

the first 15 minutes was a great start for arsenal, and even tho we didn't convert the spot kick we didn't let it get to us. but for the next 70 minutes i felt resigned, and hoped only for a 0-0 draw. Even tho we played a great match but the united defense looked like it couldn't be broken down. but finally Fabregas did the business delivering a perfectly played ball into Adebayor's run who then just sneaked the ball under the keeper. Magnifecent stuff from our young gunners.

it's a feeling that can't be described y'know? the delirium, the jubilation, the final whew of a game winning goal in the last 10 minutes of a game. It just can't be described.the resulting tension also can't be described. you're up 0-1 in old trafford. one of the most unfriendliest places in the fuckin planet. and you just can't for the life of you relax, because you're looking at all these world class players doing everything they can to break us.

but after 4 minutes of half time, with our defence passing the ball around with a calmness that neither i nor the millions of other arsenal suppporters felt, the ref finally blew the wistle and Arsenal have finally gotten our first league win, at old trafford no less. In all liklihood the best feeling i've had in weeks.

Proof of the pudding

actually i've written 3 posts for this blog that i haven't uploaded yet, and after reading them again i'm a bit shocked that my moods are reflective of arsenal. We were in a slough so i was too on a personal; level. It constantly suprises me that football fans are so connected to the fortunes of theur club. this i can prove it easily. After that 0-1 victory at old trafford my friend, a liverpool supporter texted 'congratulations' That was it. only that one word. My reply was 'my condolences'(liverpool 0 - 1 ch**ski)

that's all that we needed to say. We football fans have felt the whole spectrum of emotions, despair, euphoria, cheated against, defiance, everything and anything in the name of our clubs.

Real life doesn't give us this. Football does.

How pathetic.
