UP YOURS!

When Arsenal drew with Aston Villa last weekend, the attacks were coming in. Media hounded the team, claiming there was dissent in the club, the pressure was creeping in on a young inexperienced team and cesc & co responded to the world with a masterclass display against the old champions!

youth vs experience was the theme and youth triumphed! Arsenal are now the first English side to beat Milan at San Siro. i must admit that i had my doubts and that i couldn't get a decent live feed only added to my fears. the referee was pretty biased ( hleb shouldn't haven't been booked for diving) and there was a few miss chances against a superb Milan backline. but but but, cesc came of age today, stepped up and broke the deadlock in the late 80s.cesc and flamini ran the show in the midfield, and special praise for flamini as he kept kaka out of his game. flamini shut him out so bad that he got frustrated and got rightly booked for unsporting behaviour. our back 4 did their job and ade harrased milan's aging defence. ade caused problems from the left flank to the centre and helped out defensively as well. wenger did the right move for once for bringing in walcott for eboue. walcott's pace was decisive in the build up to the 2nd goal.

so, up yours to everyone who say's Arsenal's cracking. They deserve credit. i'm not getting into my head over this result and this weekend's match will be as important and tough. and hopefully people wouldn't have thought me crazy when i thought Arsenal would win the EPL from day 1 :D
