Arsenal 3 Liverpool 0!
Well done Matt Flamini, Kolo, and Billy Gallas!
And Hleb and van Persie too!
BORING BORING ARSENAL!!
Screw you Liverpool! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Reading 3 Tottenham 1!!
ARE YOU WATCHING TOTTENHAM??!!?!
Stand up if you hate Tottenham!
Come On Arsenal, Come On Arsenal; Arsenal, Arsenal FC!
Well, there were some points where the team fell short, and I hoped Master Wenger was taking note of them.
1. Adebayour and his finishing. Not good enough, period.
2. King Henry and his off-colour performance.
Plus, the Bellamy goal being disallowed for offside was a dubious decision, but hey, not that it mattered.
Easily the most interesting moments of the game were two clownish incidents: The van Persie rendition of Maradona's Hand of God and the part when the referee pulled his calf muscle. Ha!
Come on Arsenal!
I caught the match with Sam Lim at the Elizabeth Pub at the Elizabeth Hotel. The place is quite a nice set-up, not least because its owned by an Arsenal fan.
This results in the most Ownage ambience you can get in a pub (if you're an Arsenal fan that is)- you've got massive wall-sized posters of King Henry and Bergkamp and Ljunberg and Bobby Pires and Viera and company. Arsenal scarves and other memorabilia adorn all the walls, along with team pictures- going all the way back to the days of Tony Adams and Martin Keown!
And the crowd was the Ownage too. If you go anywhere else in Singapore the Arsenal fans will be outnumbered 5 to 1 by Liverpudlian scum and Man Utd gangs. Here, it's Arsenal all the way.
And so we were in the midst of full-blooded singing of Arsenal chants:
"There's only One Arsene Wenger!"
"Ro-bin van Per-sie! Ro-bin van Per-sie!"
"Are you watching Tottenham?!?!"
"Stand up if you hate Tottenham!!!"
