Can't wait. Turkish teams are always Loud and proud and have one of the best atmospheres in the world. My prediction. Ferna 1-3 Arsenal. (A) Adebayor 13' (F) Hulk 24' (A) Nasri 41' (A) Walcott 75' Watch this space.
We're currently three-one up. The goals have been scored by Adebayor, Walcott, Diaby, and an own goal by Silvestre. Don't worry though, Fat Head has had a great game. Guiza had the ball in the back of the net but it was correctly called off-side (seriously). We still have Van Persie, and Vela on the bench so we might see more of them. Walcott has had a superb game, along with Diaby - I never realized how good his footwork was. Roberto Carlos and his defence are having a shit game, and they look as though they will let another goal in soon. Vulcan has barely made a save, and he has let three goals in. Alumnia is the new Arsenal captain for the game, and has made some superb saves that have kept up three-one up. Fenerbache still have Kazim-Richards on the bench, but we seem to of dampened their spirits a little bit. Fenerbache have not lost at home in the Europe in the past three years. They defeated Chelsea in the Spring recently. This is a cracker of a game, and it's well worth the watch. Another thing to note is that the refs seem to be on Arsenal's side. I think Fenerbache have commited seven or eight fouls whilst we've only commited one or two. That's always good news. Wish us luck in the second half.
Second Half Report I missed the start of the second half (by a minute or so) and I came downstairs to see us up four-one. It was scored by Alexandre Song and in my opinion, it was the most crucial goal. We got a freekick on the edge of the area, Fabregas played a sweet ball in, and it eventually found Song who confidently slammed it into the bottom left-hand corner leaving Vulcan stranded. Fenerbache seemed to of lost all their steam after that goal, and most of the half was uneventful. Guiza deservedly got on the scoresheet by a defensive fuck up by Song. He cooly chipped the ball over the on-coming Almunia. For the rest of the game, Arsenal teased over-and-over. Walcott was replaced by Djourou, Diaby was replaced by Ramsey, and Adebayor was subbed for Carlos Vela. The game settled down in the last ten minutes of the game, but after some great footwork on the edge of the box by Eboue, Ramsey latched on to his layoff and expertly struck the ball onto the post and into the net making it five-two. My man of the match was Manuel Almunia. He made several vital saves throughout the game, and he looks like a good captain. Eboue also had a solid game, who saved the ball of the line twice. Offensively, all of the players were equal. Nasri, Diaby, Walcott, Adebayor, and Fabregas shone the most. All-in-all, a fantastic result for Arsenal. In a fortnight, we face Fenerbache at home. They must be looking forward to that one!
5 bloody 2. Can't argue with that, looks like changing my Avatar to Almunia was a bloody good choice.
