Well, time for a quick post about football. I missed watching the demolition of Southampton last week, just as I had to miss the European cup victory over Montpellier in the week. With the Southampton game, I was at work and had forgotten to tape Match of the Day. I did watch the highlights on Yahoo! With the game against Montpellier again I was at work so only watched the highlights on ITV. The Saint's had played well against ManUre as well as Man5hitty and some would argue that they were unfortunate not to get a draw against both teams. It could have been a hard game, but we were fortunate. An own goal helped us before we went onto score two more and another own goal really killed off the game. Gervinho opened his account for the season and Podolski scored again. The main shame was letting in a goal.
We may not have played in such an emphatic manner against Montpellier but a win is a win. And then of course, the game against Man5hitty, a team I once had a soft spot for. Before they started stealing our best players. The highlights on Yahoo! do not really do the first half justice. It was mainly Arsenal who were playing well, 5hitty not having as many chances as I would expect. Mind you, I was expecting a thumping and to watch the team play so well reminded my of the way we played the last time we won the league. It is too early to say that we will win the league, but watching that game and they way we played against the League champions coming back from that goal down, it gave credence to the way that Arséne Wenger had talked about us having a chance of winning the title this season. A lot though depends on Cazorla staying fit and playing well until Jack Wilshere is back. Our midfield looks a threat and in a strange way, not having RVP in the squad means that the team is looking at everyone to score goals. Anyway, time to go, while looking forwards to our next match.
