Didier Drogba is a diving cunt, here’s proof

Posted by Arsenalist on 10th May 2009

No point putting up the highlights today but here’s a great example of how a dive can change the entire complexion of a game and yet nobody will talk about it post-game. This happened against Man Utd when Ronaldo did the same and now Drogba - who is a master at it - acts his way into a free-kick in a good position.

Will Sky Sports talk about the dive post-game? I highly doubt it.

Arsenal vs Liverpool MOTD Highlights and Goals 4-4

Enjoy the goals. Great game by Arshavin but what can I say, our backup defenders are not very good. Even Sagna was poor after the layoff and Silvestre was pure unadulterated shit. The injury situation is freaky and I hope we get Almunia back for the Champions League clash against Man Utd. I think we busted Liverpool’s chances for the title so that’s something to feel good about, they needed this game way more than us. Scoring four goals in Anfield is no joke. Just a quick site note, I’ll be in Jamaica next week and won’t be able to cover the Middlesbrough game on Sunday and the first leg of the Man Utd tie. Sorry. Do click sponsor.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Highlights and Goals: FA Cup Semi-Final 2-1

Posted by Arsenalist on 18th April 2009

Nothing beats hunting for a goal with two of your best strikers subbed off. Wenger hamstringed this one for us, didn’t understand RVP being taken off, thought it should’ve been Denilson who was poor. At the end of the day it was injuries that cost us this one, Fabianksi was terrible and unsure of himself from start to finish and Eboue got turned around for no reason on their first goal. This was going to be a very tough game with three of our four backs and our first-choice goalkeeper out with injury and so it was. I have to say that with Sagna and Almunia in there this could’ve very easily been Arsenal’s game. I also couldn’t understand the reasoning behind Arshavin not playing and Song not starting in the back four instead of Eboue.

Arsene Wenger says we gave up ‘cheap goals’.

Good play from Gibbs and Adebayor leads to Walcott deflecting one of Cuntley’s hand:

Eboue Terrible, Fabianski, even worse:

Arsenal vs Villareal Highlights and Goals (2nd Leg)

Posted by Arsenalist on 15th April 2009

Arsene Wenger dancing GIF VillarealConvincing win. Villareal didn’t test us as I thought they would. The game was wide open to start and after Adebayor missed a chance set up by Fabregas, I thought we had missed a great opportunity. Walcott’s composure on the first goal was sublime, almost Velaesque. Villareal didn’t create enough chances and their attack was fairly benign. Adebayor’s goal came minutes after he was caught offside on an Arsenal counter-attack. He’s unbelievably crappy and equally brilliant within moments of each other, his missed header in the first half should’ve made it 2-0 (see first half highlights below) but still, I’m happy with his overall game. His goal reminded me of the Henry goal against Spurs. The foul which led to the penalty wasn’t a penalty at all and it resulted in Villareal losing their discipline and the match.

I thought Song was especially good in the middle, he had some great fights for possession which he won. Our back four of Eboue, Gibbs, Toure and Silvestre weren’t tested so that was good. Gibbs picked up an injury late which could be big for the FA Cup semi-final this weekend.

Enjoy the goals and the win. That dance has to go, there’s even a clip of Arsene Wenger doing it after the Adebayor goal. It’s Manchester United in the semi-final. Don’t forget to click on the sponsor, here’s the Match Report.

Arsenal vs Wigan MOTD Highlights and Goals 4-1

Great second half performance. 9 points clear of Villa who are playing Everton tomorrow. If Arshavin weren’t cup-tied I’d feel a lot more confident about the Champions League. Silvestre and Djourou make me a little nervous, not exactly stable components in a back four. We were poor in our set pieces and that’s something that needs to be tightened for Wednesday. Let’s just enjoy this win for now. MOTD Highlights will be posted when they become available. Here’s the Match Report. Here’s the sponsor.
