Its normally a game two halves but it was also certainly a week of two halves as well. After a glorious performance in mid week against Villareal it all went to pot on Saturday against Chavski.
Arsenal v Villareal. 15th April 2009
Well what a game! I don't know where to start. It was a long old day for Gunner On Tour with am early start for the flight to Gatwick which was delayed for an hour, but that extra time gave me and the lads much need extra drinking time at the airport.
Once arrived in London it was up to the ground to collect the tickets, its not the same, you don't feel right until that piece of paper is in your hand. Anyway the offices were closed and didn't open until 6 p.m. which partially screwed up the plans for the day, well my drinking plans anyway. After not collecting the tickets that afternoon it was time time to check into Fawlty Towers, believe me this is Fawlty Tours, without mentioning any names it is on the Seven Sisters Road up from the Twelve Pins, it has strangely became a second home for me over the years for some reason it keeps drawing me back.
Well all settled into the room i.e. open the door and fuck the bag in, it was down to the pins for the pre match beers. Once all the troops had met up it was down the road to The Gunners Bar for some pre match singing which only include a rendition of Arsenal Number Nine and a couple of Eboue songs, sad as we are that's all we seem to muster up at the moment, well Sean anyway, the leader of the Choir of rough Dub voices.
Sean get another fucking song will you!
I don't have to go into the match as you would have all seen it but we had our usual cracking view in Block 117 in the upper tier above the away fans, where Sean and his heavies continued belting out Eddie and Eboue songs.
Sean get another fucking song!
I was a bit pleased with myself as i predict the 3-0 scoreline in my last post prior to the match. First blog prediction gives me 100% record, happy days.
After the match it became a late one in the Blackstock for most of us, while 3 of the number headed back to Stansted, fair play,they had to get the the first flight back in the morning and back to work, except Sean who is paid by the state to watch Sky Sports all day.
Thursday was a bit frantic as the scramble to book the flight for the away leg at Old Crappord. As Dublin is full of fucking scum most of those cunts take up all the cheap seats to Manchester, well fuck you lot i got a cheap flight to Birmingham and will train it up to the Northern shit hole.
With so many flight to London it was relatively cheap to fly to Gatwick again for the second leg. I'm looking forward to both legs and I'm pretty confident that we will fuck them over.
Arsenal v Chelsea. FA Cup Semi 18th April.
Before the match i really thought we could make the final confidence was and we were playing great football, that continued up until Theo scored but after that we were a fucking nightmare and Fabianski looked like a Sunday league goalie. Tired and jaded is no real excuse but chin up we got some great games coming up, with us still having to play the top 3 we will have a big say in where the title goes.
Until Later
