It's about f**king time!

My guest score announcer is the lovely Adeline. She has been a Gooner since 2000 and her new all-time favourite Gunner is v.Persie. It used to be David Seaman. Well, she's definitely a happy camper at the full time whistle.



Woah... Just received a guest score announcer all the way from Bangkok where Shai & Ah Tiong are spending quality time together. They found this Thai Tiger Beer girl and got her to flash us all the way from the land of smiles... I wonder if they celebrated the amazing win with her?



It's about f**king time!

I've always written about how great a feeling the Gooners get whenever we come from behind and win a game but this was way sweeter than any come from behind victory. Why? Because the lads did it with only 10 men!

And more than that, the lads won despite playing like crap for most of the game. For those who were at the Liz, you'd know I was a total miserable wreck spewing out colourful words every minute. I couldn't, for the life of me, decide which team was fighting the drop. Arsenal couldn't even hold the ball for more than 5 seconds in Bolton's half and the Trotters' really made the Gunners look pathetic.

Then came our first goal from a corner (how often can we say that?). Aptly, it came courtesy from the much-criticised captain who lead the way with a well-taken shot. The Liz came to life when the ball hit the net. I was muted though. In my mind, one goal was not enough. But Steve-o reminded me that the lads had to do it a goal at a time. I remained hopeful...

Then it became 2-2 when v.Persie crashed home a penalty. The screams of joy got louder. I finally punched the air with that goal. At that time, a draw with 10 men would have been a good enough result for me.

But I guess the Gunners knew they owe the fans the long-awaited victory and true enough, it came in the dying minutes of the game when Fabregas' hopeful shot went into the goal off Jlloyd Samuel's leg.

The screams of pure delight at the Liz never sounded so sweet in such a looong time... I hugged Steve-o, Eric, Dixie, Siren, Adeline and some other guys who I have no idea who they were. It's been too long since the Liz saw a victory. At least it came and we now remember what sweet victory tastes like.

A quick shout-out to Mervasaurus who came through for us once again. Not sure how he does it but he did. He's a good sport for being the only ManUre guy there and taking all that piss we dish out...

So that's one victory from the last seven games. Just six more to go. Like what Steve-o says, let's do it one game at a time...

Get In There!!!

Well, I was in it with you guys for the first two goals (of course, I was like, shite! when the Bolton defenders open their legs big big and let in own goal *slap forehead*)

Then again, I'm glad for you guys lah.

Still, I'm gonna be a loyal football fan and hold out for my team to win it, one game at a time too :)

I think the both subs wenger put in definitely made a difference! Walcott is brilliant at the right space and adebayor seems to be sharper when he got off the bench!
Cheers!

Respect to Merv for taking another round of verbals from us. What a result and what a ridiculous performance to get it!
