...and seeing red.
Well, the truth is, Arsenal weren't good enough to win the game. Period.
It was a scintillating match in total - a competitive first half, a thundering second half, with the last 5 minutes going at a rate of 10 scares per minute for the faint-hearted like me. Hopefully I don't need any beta-blockers the next time I watch footie!
Flamini's goal gave everyone at Woodville pub something to punch in the air, even I got so excited that my friend could hardly believe what she was seeing...Adeline joining the lads in rejoicing a 1-0 lead for Arsenal? Either that or she was still reeling from his goal I don't know... :P
Then Essien caused an F-word rant among all Arsenal faithfuls with his cracking equaliser not 5 minutes after. I was gutted no doubt, but I must conclude that it was a HELL of a goal. The distance from which he scored, the power with which he struck the ball and the positioning...Essien deserved all the applause he can get, though we were all in denial. You could literally hear a pin drop. It was that silent.
And as for Lehmann and Drogba, well, they probably misconstrued Shakespeare's words as...
"All the football field's a stage, and we are merely actors". Damn right you are!
