Man 4 – 2 Arsenal
Even though I said my prediction was 2-1 to the Arsenal I never fancy Arsenal away at Eastlands, and today I was proved right. Most of the game was poor apart from the goals. Man city took the lead with Micah Richards setting up Manuel Almunia to score one of the unluckiest own goals I’ve seen. Arsenal came out in the second half and bossed the early passages of play until they Eventually equalised with Van Persie scoring a fantastic solo goal proving not all Arsenal players go down easily, but then Man City started to fight their way back into the game with both sides trading possession, and the odd chance. Man city converted their chances managing to score 3 goals in 10 mins Bellamy 74mins, Adebayor 80mins and SWP 84 mins. Tomas Rosicky then responded with a goal of his own the 88th min, but Arsenal weren’t done there with Van persie hitting the post and narrowly missing the target after his shot was deflected and The Bendtner also saw his shot deflected wide.
Emmanuel Adebayor
Adebayor took it upon himself to seek revenge on RVP. After a RVP tackle from behind Adebayor stamped on RVP’s hand and face, but the ex- arsenal man wasn’t done there after scoring his goal he then decided to run the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of Arsenal. All I can say is I hope he gets a ban for one of the above.
Selection Issues
This is the second time AW selection policy has infuriated me. Starting Diaby instead of Rosicky. I don’t understand what goes through his head when he decides to start Diaby against the bigger clubs especially away from home. AW did this last season in the FA cup Semi against Chelsea where he replaced Arshavin with Diaby. I don’t care what people say Diaby isn’t the new Viera, and just because he’s doesn’t mean he’ll be more physical or intimdate the opposition personally I think you have to pick a side on ability and not body type.
