My football update

This is a football update so...if you are not a football fan, turn your face away...or I'll entertain you with a picture of my cat, Charlie.

My Cat Charlie (with his newspaper ball)

So last Wednesday (I watched it Thursday morning) Arsenal played their last Champions League match against FK Partizan Beograd. They are in Group H, and was top of that group but lost their last game so they need to win this game in order to go on to the last 16. In normal talk, they better win or pack their bags. Well actually I think they have a good chance to go to the last 16 rounds but a win would be sweeter. I did not update my football last month because they weren't doing very good. (Lost a lot of games and really poor performance).

I am happy to report that they cruise past FK Partizan Beograd. :) I was scared a lil when they scored 1 each but then it was smooth sailing. Although Bacary Sagna did get a red card, minutes before time. What a shame. I hope they get to play somewhat mediocre team next cause I want them in the finals!

I hope they didn't take down the video again, if they do check out footytube if you are interested in the clips. :)

They had a game Saturday against Fulham and won! Of course, it was one of those long game and you get very edgy. It was a pretty good game, Samir Nasri scored both goals. I thought they were gonna give it all away or get a draw from the game. It took them a very long time to score the second goal and thankfully they did! Don't scare us like that Arsenal! (At least don't scare me :P).

The week before they had a Carling Cup clash and since all the top teams are out, I hope Arsenal would be favorite to win the cup. :) The matches for the cup match in January are as follows:

Birmingham City		vs		West Ham United
St. Andrews

Arsenal		vs		Ipswich Town
Emirates Stadium Ipswich Town vs Arsenal Portman Road West Ham United vs Birmingham City Upton Park Courtesy of Carling Cup website

 That would be in January o.O and I have to wait!!! It sucks. At least I get to see a game with CLK and hopefully it would be a good one and not fall asleep like I use to. LOL.

I said "HEYyyy" - Football Update

I was ready for Arsenal game last this morning, and literally fell asleep after the 2nd half started. =__='' Fail! This morning was the Champions League clash - Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk. The commentator said this team was one of the team to look out in this group, but well... Arsenal did beat them. 5 to 1. I suppose they were not in their normal game stride. :)

One of the saddest moment in the game (sad? Really? XD) was that a former Gunner, Eduardo was playing for the team. Awww...I did like Eduardo and was surprised about him leaving Arsenal. I did blogged about that. He stated that if he did score against his former club he wasn't going to celebrate. He did score - the only goal - and true to his word he did not celebrate. But then again why would you if you were 4 goals down. =___='' But everyone was happy to see him play after the awful incident that side lined him for a whole season, broke his ankle (oh I saw it and it was horrifying! I will have to find a picture) and then he moved. :( Sad wish he would've stayed another season. And Aaron Ramsey is going through the same thing!! Broke his ankle after a bad tackle.. I wish you well Aaron!! Can't wait to see you play again!! Ok I found a picture and it is gonna be a lil horrifying (like A LOTTTT) and you can skip it if you are like me. I can't bear to look at it. Maybe I'll make it really small ok?

OhMyGosh, I watched that LIVE!! when it broke and they did not show a reply just a lot of players shaking their heads and holding in emotions, it was a sad day. But now he is better and playing and scored!! Great recovery. But yeah onto the game.

The game was a really good one, I have not enjoyed a good game in a long time. It tend to get bored or just less goals so yeah 5 is a good number. I told CLK that they might score 8 even! if all is according to plan. :P He said that the first goal was pretty quick but I told him it was not quick enough.

The goal scorers were Alex Song (19m), Samir Nasri (42m), Cesc Fabregas (PEN-59m), Jack Wilshere (66m), and Marouane Chamakh  (69m). Arshavin came in the second half but did not score. Overall I was pretty pleased with the result (GO GUNNERS!!) and after the win at Birmingham, I hope they can do it all over again this Saturday, clash with Manchester City. Arsenal is always good in midweek and then come weekend they would totally suck (to me anyway, do you feel so Arsenal fans?). I really did wish they would score 8 - 0. :P

Game 3: Victory!

Another week another victory! It was a very close game, as in 1-2 and the 2nd goal came with a lil relieve~ Pheww~! OMG what if it was a draw?? No way~! :) Another one of Walcott's amazing goal assist from Van Persie before he had to be replace by Chamakh. I think Van Persie have some kind of BPL curse cause he keep getting injured during the season which always keep him off the first 11 team. Get well soon VP!

Today's goal was from Walcott and Arshavin (my Russian turtle!! XD) I think Arshavin goal is a good one, almost missing it out but really close. Thankfully Arsenal won!! During the first half I kinda thought they were a a bit off on their game, but after the they came back, the game run a lot smoothly. Arsene Wenger's men really are amazing!

Lucky I found a pic of them together :D

Other result from the Premier League:


Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 1 Wigan Athletics (Wigan's first win!!)
Wolverhampton Wonderers 1 - 1 Newcastle United
Blackpool 2 - 2 Fulham
Chelsea 2 - 0 Stoke City
Manchester Utd 3 - 0 West Ham Utd

I see that Manchester Utd is very persistent in scoring big numbers, I just hope that some unknown club can beat them bad XD Chelsea is doing real well too...
