Arsenal Wins Against Liverpool

by Sarosh Waiz on December 13, 2009 in Arsenal, Football with No comments

With 1-0 down against Liverpool at the end of the first half, Arsenal pull the match off with a 2-1 win over Liverpool. A better performance as compared to the 1st half, they managed to get two goals. The equalizer was an own goal by Johnson, who got a bit unlucky, but it would be wrong if I say Arshavin did not have any part to play in that goal.

The second goal was a screamer by Arshavin! When he got the pass at the edge of the box, I did think that he would take an off the goal shoot. But the shoot actually bulleted in the goal after getting an inside edge. Fantastic! Reina actually had no chance…

Chelsea is at the top of the table with 37 points having played 16 games. Manchester United stand at second with 34 points in 16 games. And after the win today at Anfield, Arsenal crawls up to 31 points in 15 games. Finally we have a real chance of winning the title after 2004 …

Not bad… Finally things are starting to get better at the Emirates… and I hope it only gets better … Okay I’m relieved now, lets get off the soccer topic …

Hail The Gunners!

EPL: Liverpool vs Arsenal (13th December 2009)

Arsenal makes the trip to Anfield this Sunday in EPL and almost everyone has disregarded Arsenal and Liverpool out of the top four… its stupid and too early to say anything … I have been listening to these stories since the last 4 to 5 years …

I have no clue why everyone just talks about Manchester United and Chelsea as only being the two title contenders. Its just the start of the season and the British media just likes to speculate and sell their content! Its stupid when the league is so open … all these idiots had nothing to say when Manchester United lost to Aston Villa yesterday and dropped 3 points? Even the Chelsea and Everton game ended in a draw, and Chelsea dropped 2 points.. and they were roaring that they are invincibles.. yeah right!!

Arsenal still has a game in hand .. and if they win against Liverpool, they will be only 2 points behind Man Utd with one game in hand. These stupid media and PR tactics get on to my nerves seriously… Grow up people… oh please… pretty please!

Update: It’s half time and Arsenal are 1-0 down at the moment … the game has been good .. but Liverpool is dominating the game with possession and attempts on goal… We still need a solid performance from Arsenal in the second half…  The second half is about to start … I’m off for now…

I have been so busy lately that I haven’t got the time to watch any Arsenal matches this month. Arsenal’s performance has been great this season so far and for me … every coming game is a big game for Arsenal because we need to keep going on with consistency. Arsenal’s current position on the league table is 4th with 18 points and 2 games in hand as compared to the table leaders Chelsea who are standing up there with 24 points.

We’re very much in the league and all the games that Arsenal play have to be won in order to stay in the ‘title race.’ We have a clash between Liverpool and Manchester United today, which is going to be a thriller and I will go with Liverpool because of two reasons. Firstly, being an Arsenal fan I’m going to naturally favor Liverpool over Manchester United. Secondly if Liverpool wins, ManU is not going to be at the top of the table losing 3 important points. Even if the game is going to end up in a draw … I’ll be glad since ManU will again end up losing 2 important points.

Okay back to the West Ham vs Arsenal game. I am really eager to see Nasri back in the squad, because I feel he can give that further acceleration to the side. It would be amazing to see Arshavin, Fabregas, Nasri and Rosicky in the midfield… just imagine the deadly combination! Okay … I’m off for now … too excited to watch the match .. just can’t wait!!
