Man City versus Arsenal: The aftermath

The build up to the Manchester city versus Arsenal was full of speculation and talks of revenge and a certain Judas. The match itself was very entertaining with 6 goals while the aftermath is even more though provoking as the devil spreads its wing.

The greedy money grubber in the form of a certain individual named Emmanuel Adebayor showed he is more than just a materialistic idiot. His motor mouth goes hand in hand with his obnoxious attitude and ungrateful nature. No wonder he had to talk before the match, during the match and even AFTER the match. A Judas to all Arsenal fans and a reminder for all how malicious he can be when he stomp his studs into Robin Van Persie's face. How ironic that the commitee awarded the man of the match to Adebayor. I wonder if it was for the face crashing stomp.

If we look back at the match, there were a couple of talking points. Lady Luck was on City's side when a soft looking header from Lescott hit the post and bounce back off the head of Almunia into the Arsenal net. The city fans may think that is skill but to the honest eye, I dont think the materialistic former Everton defender knew what he was doing.

After the lacklastre first half, the match came to life only after Denilson was substituted with the lively Rosicky. RVP proved that there is life after Ade with a brilliant turn and shot past Givens to equalise for Arsenal. As the Gunners start to dominate as they seek the winner, the incidents piled up to make every second of the match so exciting and emotional.

Ade decided to leave his studs mark on RVP face, baring a few centimetres which would have blinded the Dutch forward for life. Then Wright Philips dribbled down the flank and cross for a Craig Bellamy shot that Blondie failed to save. As much as I dont like the Welsh striker, he was very hardworking and ingenious on the pitch. Applause for his goal.

Then, Gareth Barry handled in the penalty box which the blind officials failed to pick up. At 2-1, a penalty would have given Arsenal the chance to equalise and go on to win the match. The decibal level went off the mark when Ade score the third goal with a header. The motor mouth idiot then ran all the way to the other side of the field to remostrate to the Arsenal fans! It incited scrimages in the stands and certainly deserve a ban from the FA. If Eduardo get a two match ban for a 'dive' that he did not even asked for a penalty, Ade should be ban for 25 games for inciting crowd trouble and a career ending stomp for a fellow professional.

3-1 up and the match was sealed with a Wright Philip goal as the Gunners went for broke and left gaps at the back. Rosicky did mark his first appearance in a league game for over a year with a consolation goal but RVP hit the post and Bendtner skied most of his attempt to leave Manchester empty handed again.

As a Gunner, this loss means we have lost 2 matches to potential title challengers. It also gives tremendous confidence to Mark Hughes side and also threaten to put a mark over our amazing start to the season. The season starts now!! If we dont get our walking wounded (Walcott, Nasri and Arshavin) back in the team or make some signings in the January transfer window, I am afraid we wont be laughing much in May 2010.
