Life’s too short to stay sober

..all I can say is..WHAT THE SHIT?!

And then maybe not.

Gosh at how Villarreal creamed us in the first half. And how they got their goal. The first half wasn't pretty to watch.

For the neutral fan, this would have been a fantastic game. For an Arse fan, it was painful, but we came away with a result, a good result. How often do we have an away goal in our bag. And this away goal was like the one and only time Arsenal threatened the opposition's goal.

The second half was way better, some sort of hair drying treatment? Except that we know that that's not Wenger's style. That's Ferguson's style. Which didn't work by the way. After their poor second half they didn't really improve and Porto came away with a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. Woah.

All credit to Senna for his goal. Alex Song went to sleep. Actually, he challenged a second too late and bam, there the ball went. I don't like this Senna dude. before the game he was saying that Fabregas is not big enough of a superstar as Henry (-_-) so they'll beat Arsenal. And then Fab, provided that top top top class cross to Adebayor who controlled it with one chest and volleyed it into the back of the net. That kind of goal you don't see everyday. That kind of goal we haven't seen at Arsenal for a long long time. It was like the Sp*rs one? Or sort of. He need to do 1 wonder goal per season. What a goal which could put us through to the semis. The semis which in all prospects, might not be against Man Utd. That's another issue altogether, except that right now, it does look better to be play Man Utd doesn't it?

So the negatives from the game were mostly from the first half. Denilson and Song forgot why they were in the team. Maybe when Mr Diaby comes back again to push for places they might be back to their best. I wonder when that'll be. The two of them did better in the second half though, so the rest of the negatives are from the 4 yellows we picked up. So another caution for Fabregas, Adebayor, Nasri and Song and they miss the next game. That list is added to Robin and Diaby already on it. In Diaby's case he should have done a Beckham since he was getting injured and sitting out. Becks got a second yellow on purpose. Smart guy. And now I figured ROBIN SHOULD HAVE TOO. Those two are buddies in the treatment room.

And the treatment room welcomes two more. Almunia and Gallas. There would have been an argument about taking Almunia much earlier on before the goal. He was quite sure he wasn't going to make it. When you know that the opposition keeper has an injury concern, you kinda want to test him a little bit more just to try your luck. And Senna did, and scored. When Fabianski came on though, it was a welcome relief to know that he won't screw up. I just knew. But it's still a 50:50 if he could save Senna's shot.

Since I'm back at Senna again, um, Adebayor either hates him or loves him to bits. First he tried to mount him. Next he tried to spoon him. Somehow, watching football has evolved to enjoying those moments for me. It's funny because we all know they don't mean it but still do it. It's the game. It's sooo physical.

It's time to sleep. The Gooners at El Madrigal were fantastic.
