Life’s too short to stay sober

I remember the brother dissing me because Arsenal is not in the title race. And then he said that he won't give a shit if Arsenal beat Man Utd from now till the end of the season.

I'm sure he'll want to take that back right this moment.

Remaining fixtures are:
18 Sat Chelsea (FA Cup)
21 Tue Liverpool (A)
26 Sun Boro (H)
29 Wed United (A) (CL)

02 Sat Portsmouth (A)
05 Tue United (H) (CL)
10 Sun Chelsea (H)
16 Sat United (A)
24 Sun Stoke (H)

Cough. That's playing Man Utd 3 more times before the season ends. There are a hell lot of big games coming up.

So the headlines following Arsenal's 3-0 win over Villarreal at the grove are that of Arsenal cruising. I didn't think that was the case, besides the point where them yellow submarines didn't really give us a run for our money. No scares of any sort, which is so characteristic of Arsenal when you watch them and not go into cardiac arrest.

A very pleasing change, but we had to wait an hour for 2 goals which pointed more to safety. And it was well worth the wait. Villarreal were showing signs of getting back in the game, which was the best they managed. Showing signs. Nothing concrete resulted and Adebayor came up with another important goal. It was kind like Drogba when he scored for Chelsea who were 2-0 down at that time. We need someone who can score this kind of goal which gets the team going when they start to lose their footing somewhat.

That said, I kinda skipped Theo's goal. They're coming from out of the blue aren't they? In the last 2 games he broke his goal drought. Against Wigan it was crucial and it honestly came from nowhere after Arshavin was on the ground but what a splendid finish. Tonight's finish was spectacular so to speak, and it did look like out from nowhere. Who'd expect Captain Fab to back heel the ball so neatly into his path en route to the goal.

I conclude that Cesc Fabregas does not have blindspots. Either that or he has eyes behind his back. That would make him a total freak so yes, Cesc does not have blindspots. Wow.

The penalty was earned by Theo, who really had a fantastic game. He's coming of age isn't he? I read a recent interview about his growth physically and he upped a shirt size with all the work in the gym. Melanie Slade would be pleased and so would we all. He has the strength to hold off defenders and is still quick on the turn. The penalty is quite debatable since the defender was adjudged to get the ball but in truth, it went in that direction because Theo was attempting a turn so he could pass it. He wasn't going in for the penalty. Gotta love the dude. There isn't a bit of dirtiness in his play, unlike a few players we have. They're hilarious by the way. We all know the level of dirtiness of Robin. If he could stick one in without the ref looking he would. Haha.

Dirty but not dangerous.

The dancing is funneh. The dancing from the players is funneh. The dancing by the manager? That's the funniest. It's like they all practiced together during training but Arsene got it all wrong. They should make a gif out of it. It's so fantastically funny.

Back to United, they look like they're starting to get their footing back. They got their clean sheet in Porto with their 2 rock solid central defenders back. It's going to be a tight clash for us two but still fantastic nonetheless.

I didn't realise that we both played the teams which were with us in the group stages. United did what we couldn't and beat Porto at home while we did what United couldn't by beating Villarreal. It's like it all is fated.

So now, depending on Chelsea, the final could be all English once again. At least 50% of it will be. Either that or Barcelona's there to welcome either us or United in Rome.

I am not counting any chickens.

And there isn't as much adrenaline as compared to last night. Boohoo.
