Up The Arse!

WHAT A RESULT!! I think I speak on behalf of every Arsenal fan when I say from 85 mins on it was as if we were watching the Tottenham game from just over a week ago but scraped through it playing some fantastic stuff as well. Also I don't think you will see a better first half and possibly whole game anywhere in any league in the world, the football was brilliant and at half time the score could have quite easily been completely different. Without getting carried away there is still a long way to go and I personally still think the league will be just out of our grasp, with our relatively small squad and questionable defending and fighting against the yobish clubs in the league. I would suggest our best chance still lies within the cup competitions, we undoubtedly have a brilliant team who can play some fantastic football as proved today and I think we are much more likely to get the odd few wins against big clubs pushing us through to a cup victory rather than several wins on the trot on a bleak winter nights at some shit hole in the north.

On the upside I won my bet, although at half time I did lay Arsenal so didn't win quite as much as I might have done. This does class as my biggest win of published bets so things are looking up.
