Life’s too short to stay sober

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

What a hilarious match. Like whuuuutttt.

You know, I wanted to by half goal Arsenal, meaning Arsenal wins the game by 2 goals. Thank freakin heavens I didn't have the time to do it. 5 minutes into the game and we're already 2 goals down -_-

What rubbish. First, it was a back heel by Eduardo where the ball was most probably for Cesc but it reached a Liege player first who made no mistake to put it in the back of our net. Then Gallas tripped another Liege player in the box not so soon after and they converted from the spot.

If memory serves me right, Mannone has not kept a clean sheet in his senior Arsenal career. And he had to stand in-goal for a penalty in both games as well. Like hahaha. Not his fault at all. I think the young lad needs better luck.

So 2-0 down in the first 5 minutes. Diabolical. Absolutely diabolical.

After that you expect a reaction and some urgency but it never came. The passing was wayward and they weren't finding their man. At all. Then from nothing, Diaby suddenly woke up and with some good skill he delivered a perfect pass for Bendtner to sprint onto and to finish from a tight angle.

2-1 at half time, and that brought us right back in the game. That was the crucial goal. Many a time we go behind early on but still go into the break goalless. This time there was a response just before half time and it was timely. Goals at the right time changes the mentality of the team.

After the break, it was back to being sloppy. The dudes maintained their cool and patience and tried to find a way through to no avail. And then we finally got some luck with the equaliser, which is highly controversial by any standards. Hilarious to say the least. I was literally laughing my ass off. 3 players were offside and that was what looks like a handball by Song.

Cant say this isn't deserved with the pressure Arsenal put on them. They too just sat back and invited us into their own half. Besides, their award of the penalty was pretty soft as well. I think the Eduardo factor probably played a part too. On another day the ref could just dismiss it, especially if it happened to us.

Anyway, with the equaliser you always knew Arsenal would be going all the way and getting the winning goal. And they did, through Eduardo's knee. That redeems him of his error earlier on but it certainly did not make the job easier for us. I'm glad he's back and around and I hope this whole diving shit will be history sooner than later.

All through the game when it was 2-0, I was thinking about the ex-gunners and their thoughts, you know, the ones who aren't involved in European football at all. Man City hasn't bothered to contest Adebayor's charge for violent conduct and good ol Emmanuel, in his pension home would be sitting in front of his TV watching the Arsenal, laughing at the scoreline.

Except that in the second half Arsenal hit 3 goals despite it being however unlikely and unbelievable.

Hilarious is the word. I don't think we'll ever get another comeback as easy as this one, especially when the players weren't doing as well as they should be.

All in all, it's 3 points and a win for a change. Glad the next game will be back at home. It is so much nicer at home.

Unexpected beginning, with a more unexpected result.

This is a fluke win.

Note to self: Bendtner is much better in the central role
