Day 3 in London:Emirates Stadium,Arsenal,Ade,Hleb,clichy

at first i thought i'd post something that didn't have anything to do with my trip but seeing the relevance , why not.

i just couldnt wait to get here. emirates stadium,home to the gooners.girls will never understand guy's obsession with this things(at least i don't think kelly did :P) so much merchandise! i bought hell lots of rubbish aside from my no.11 v.persie jersey :D

that said,0-3 away win at fulham in a convincing manner was pleasing. 2 headed goals by ade only serves to prove his critics (even amongst our own arsenal camp) wrong time and time again. the only negative i could think of yesterday was manure winning and ronaldo scoring once again. that guy is frightening.More than half the season is over and while we looked rusted over the last few weeks, i think we're coming into stride again. more so that we won big games while not playing at our best only adds to our credentials as title challengers.

Aside from Hleb who's been playing so well this season, i guess the least expected most improved player is clichy. i never did like him when he first started cause he wasn't cole and was trying to be a carbon copy of him(wenger's education could be blamed for that though)but he's really improved this season and without him and sagna on the flanks, Arsenal's tactics won't work. these 2 people are really adding width towards the play and clichy's cross is proof of that.it wouldnt even be wrong to say that he's surpassed cole this season. better at defending,pacey with good footwork and pretty decent crosses.

i'm still betting for Arsenal to win this season, actually Arsenal needs to win this season, either the EPL or CL . Arsenal are playing one of their bests football now and if they don't get any silverware towards the end, i suspect that their morales would be hurt badly,very badly . if they do win, this team might become something said in legends, like manure's class of 92. all the best gooners!!

i'm growing fond of this picture by the day even with that harsh highlight.seems so old yet so new.
the emblem, think i'm gonna put it permanently on my blog :P
me at emirates in the cold in a jersey!50 pounds well spent.
