On today's show
Super Sub Bobby does it again
Once again 'Super' Robert Pires saved The Arsenal after
coming off the bench. After his heroics against The Scum
aka Tottenham Hotspur a couple of weeks ago the Frenchman
saved The Arsenal's blushes against Swiss giants FC Thun.
In a game which seemed to be heading for a nil nil shot
out thanks to some dodgy refereeing and linesmen calls,
two FC Thun goals being called off side (cheers for that)
one which was perfectly good, but the less said about
that the better.
Anyhoo, The Arsenal who rested a host
of stars started brightly with Alexander Song and Emmanuel
Eboue both looking quite useful. There wasn't anything
to shout about until the 35th minute when Robin van 'Lord'
Persie was away on goal and got taken out by an FC Thun
player giving the ref no other choice but to tell cuckoo
clock making defender to take an early bath.
The second half didn't get much better and after a flurry
of substitutions, The Arsenal stepped it up a bit and got
a touch when the ref's assistant called for a penalty
after the ref initially waved play on after a foul on
Lord Persie. The mercurial Frenchman Bobby Pires didn't
mess about with any of that Johan Cruff/Jesper Olsen Ajax
1982 shenanigans and tucked away the penalty ensuring
The Arsenal kept their 100% record in the competition,
topping the group and also set another Arsenal record of
a sixth straight Euro win, which is nice.
Sol man is pleased
The big man and sometimes Arsenal captain Sulzeer Campbell
was pleased after the victory in the Champions League yesterday.
The Rock in the post match interview said this words of
wisdom: "I think we did enough. We played good football,
got in their half and they had a disallowed goal but I
think we did enough to win the game.We won the game and
we're top of the group and that is nice because you need
that kind of confidence in the Champions League."
The Arsenal boss Arsène
Wenger warned however it wont be
too easy from here on in and that The Arsenal will face tougher
opposition if they are to live the dream of lifting 'Old
Jug Ears'. Saint Wenger in this gleaned report commented: "It
gives us confidence, but we are not going overboard. The
real competition starts now and it is different with a direct
knockout."
