So this morning I woke up extra early, attending an earlier mass so that I could watch the Arsenal vs. Liverpool match of epic proportions.
Let's just say, the Liverpool 12th man is at it again.
Meaning, Arsenal had a nice handful of calls, while Liverpool foul left and right getting away with ease. Deja vu, anyone? Oh, that's right, this happens EVERY SINGLE TIME we play against the scouse. Or have Howard Webb reffing the game for that matter.
First half the Gunners were reminescent of their old selves; beautiful passing, playing with an amazing spark and fire. I was so proud and at the edge of my seat. It was highlighted with a splendid goal by my Flying Dutchman Robin van Persie, with a nice assist my Samir Nasri. The goal was no less than gorgeous, with the signature Robin Rocket Speed, Pepe Reina had no chance of saving that ball.
On and on the match went, with Ade and Cesc playing significantly well. I almost had a tear in my eye. Could it be? Noooo....
Well, as the saying goes, The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away.
Robbie Keane scored a goal in hte 42 minute, with our defense looking as horrible as it usually does. Cesc has a knee ligament injury from a tackle by Xabi Alonso (I'd love this other La Selección any other day, just not today), and will be out for about 2-3 weeks. But God knows how long that is in Arsenal time. And Adebayor will not be playing in the match against Aston Villa because of the penalty ban. Sooo our sole playmaker and captain and our striker who we could rely on for goals will be out against a team that is now currently in third place.
We are screwed.
So as this match reached the 90th minute, my disdain for Liverpool has grown even more immense. And Howard Webb will always be a twat.
Arsenal are still at 5th. Nothing changed, still the same ole' Arsenal. I tried watching the Villareal vs. Barca match to calm my nerves, but it only helped a little.
'Til next match, boys.
* that was not a typo; they really are poo.
