English Premier League
Hey you all!Time to reveal to you where my EPL loyalties lie.See...I'm a Die Hard Manchester United Fan(MUF) and I sat watching the ManU-Arsenal game the whole time...this time I've started to add Football to the blog!
So lets see-
The match started off and I have to say...the starting was nothing but absolute boredom. As usual as it is B/Mw big top-flight sides, they were cagey and tentative but needless to say after the first few minutes, you couldn't recognize the game.The ball was flowing from one end to another in a style that only these two sides could produce.It was a MUf's dream to see William Gallas score!!(against his own team that is), though I still say Rooney could have done better.
The score read after 45 min's Man Utd. 1 - Arsenal 0
But then...
48th minute...Fabregas!!!...Scores..score 1-1
this put the teams on level terms and the dogfight started again.String of brilliant saves from both the keepers and scintillating football from both the sides, this went on until at the end of the 81st minute, Christiano Ronaldo,our golden boy, put us ahead...How could we not win now?(yup..that's what I thought)
But then tragedy struck...just seconds before a manU victory, Gallas redeemed himself by striking in a Theo Walcott mishit, after that all was over, Arsenal had succeeded in Earning a draw putting them on top of the league on Goal Difference.
After the Match, Alex Ferguson said-"I think Howard Webb has a great chance to be the top referee but today was a big game for him and, at times, he favored Arsenal...I think we have thrown it away. At 2-1 you think you've won the game and for them to get a second goal when they did - for us to give it way in injury-time - it is very hard to take I can tell you. It is a fact that they got out of jail"
in contrast to Arsene Wenger-"Cesc Fabregas is actually the natural leader in the ranks, with his intense will to win and his exceptional talent. At only 20, though, it would not be right to give him the job just yet, not with a player of Gallas's experience and ability a fixture at the back..."
Well fergie...that is a bit harsh on the referee but in the end I'll say
"It Was a Damn good Game"
