All I can say is that Cesc Fabregas is an absolute legend! the boy is the heart of Arsenal and he proved that last night against Villa, and what about Diaby? Well I think he is showing everyone what he is all about as a player and he is a really good goal scorer if you ask me.
Before the game I didn’t think we could take on a Villa side brimming with confidence, a side that was until last night the most consistent team in the Premiere league unbeaten in eleven games winning there last four and of course the team that has beaten Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool and for those of you who like stats Villa have never lost at the Emirates so you can understand my pessimism.
Well the game started and it was Arsenal who took the game to Villa from the off and we nearly scored on the 3rd minute when Diaby plunged his way in the box and fed Eduardo who shot weak in the direction of Friedel. We dominated proceedings for the majority of the first half but you could also see we were a bit shaky defensively and that we could concede, thankfully Villa weren’t in that kind of mood.
In the second half the entertainment level of the game began to rise with Villa and Arsenal playing some really good football and even though we were the more superior team we needed that little bit extra to give us that vital goal so on the 57th minute Arsene takes off Denilson and brings on Fabregas, a move that lifted the fans and the team alike. Straight away Cesc stamped his authority on the game with a free kick from 40 yards just grazing the over the bar catching Friedel by surprise. Shortly after that Fabregas was fouled 25 yards out resulting in the free kick. Cesc steps up and boom whips the ball in the back of the net, an absolute beauty of a shot 1- nil to the Arsenal!
The next Goal came from a trademark Arsenal counter attack with Traore releasing Walcott who in turn releases Cesc in to the box and smacks the ball past the onrushing Friedel and in to the back of the net injuring himself in the process. 2-nil to the Arsenal and 2 goals for our captain in just 20 minutes of play. He was then substituted by his clone in the making Aaron Ramsey on the 82nd minute.
The third goal came from another moment of brilliance but this time by the inform Diaby who receives the ball in the middle of the pitch and made a great run towards goal and just when he was being closed down by two incoming defenders he curls a great shot in the bottom right corner of the net 18 yards out. 3-nil get in!!
So three goals and more importantly we got the three points. Now all we need to do is just keep on winning no matter what. I don’t care if we win ugly or beautifully I don’t care if we win by one goal or by ten its all the same to me.
Next up its Portsmouth away at 11:45 pm UAE time and I expect a big crowd to show up at the Spirals Arsenal Tavern. I was a bit disappointed with the turn out we had during the Villa match.
Keep it real keep it loud keep it Arsenal.
Till next time
