the record ended in Spain

woke up at about 3 am and saw Arsenal is leading by 1-0, thinking we might win this game easily, then maybe I don't need to watch it till the end.

But I guess I was wrong, Sevilla got back to the game with their first goal on 24', started with a mistake from Senderos, bad clearence from Gilberto, ended with a volley from sevilla player outside the penalty box.

At the end Arsenal loss 1 - 3 to Sevilla, the team performance was under par, Cesc has to be taken out because he had an injury, but one player did impress me a lot was Bendtner, this tall centre forward done a fine job last night. His first touch was excellent, he could hold a ball and a good vision, be carefull Ade, he will take your place sooner than you think....

Overall, this might ended Arsenal unbeaten record, but to lost in this kind of match that did not affecting our chances to go through the group stage, will at least give the team a reality check, because, we will loss a game one day, and hopefully this is the last for this season... is it too much to ask?

Arsenal 2 - Wigan 0

Arsenal was not at their best, losing too many players on injury. The midfielder consist of Rosicky - Denilson - Diarra - Eboue. Both Denilson and Diarra was never been on the starting line up this season.

First 45 minutes saw a few chances, but missing the final touch.. Ade, Walcott and Eboue should have scored last night, but due to a very defensively display from Wigan, none managed to score.

2nd half, minor changes, Wenger shift Rosicky in the middle, he was then control the game with his movement and passing... he was everywhere... while Diarra, I think his first start ever in EPL for Arsenal was our invicible wall...

Last few minutes to the end of the game we finally managed to score a goal, and it came from the least player to score (well, gollie should be the least...) Gallas scored a crucial goal just like when we faced the Manure last time. What a reliefed that was... everyone at batula cafe last night was shouting, screaming... and the second goal came Rosicky with the assist from Bendtner, that should be enough to kill the game...


AIS 4 - 4 SSI Arsenal
Sunday, 25 Nov 07 | SSI field, ISCI
It was hot, the temperature was about 35 degree, AIS v SSI Arsenal played a friendly match in SSI Arsenal field at ISCI, most of the SSI consist of coaches and 2 u-18 student while AIS fielded a non pro, die hard gooners, telly match training players oooh and a beer drinker with his big belly (well most of us had that...)

It was AIS who scored first... and the first half resulted in 1-0 for AIS. But the scond half, due to un-train physical attributes, the ran all over us and the score was 1 - 4,

A few beers for 'bule gila' and up he goes to the field only to found that it was too hot to run around and start shouting at everyone come across him... even the linesman got screwed...

Finnally, AIS managed to get back into the game and scored 3 goals in the length of 15 minutes to make the final score 4 - 4.

it has been a while

Again, it has been a while since my last post, 3 matches away from my last post.
First it was against Pool, with my personal opinion we should win that game, we played well, we control the game... and most of all we miss 2 open chances... two simple tap in that went high..

Against Man utd, it was clear that Wenger boys is not familiar with 4-4-1-1 system, with Hleb and Adebayor on front, it just not working. luckily we managed to scrap a very late goal from Gallas on injury time. But overall, in term of offensive, we are behind Man Utd who look sharp with Rooney and Tevez.

I am not saying a draw is a good result, unlucky was the right word, their 1st goal was never a goal. I think Wes Brown had fouled Hleb before that... see it on the replay and judge it ur self. And we should have a penalty when clichy ball touched Hagreaves hand. And the ref was just about 5mtr away from him... c'mon Ref...

Almunia who looks solid in previous matches was making few mistakes, as for the 2nd goal from united, he should not came out, Gallas was there, he should have waited in the goal post...
