I must apologize for the tardiness of this
post. A polar bear fell on me.
Speaking of tardy, I got to the Factory in
the third minute and joined Carissa on the main level with Liam behind the bar.
Unlike my last late arrival, the Arsenal were not so gracious and scored about
90 seconds before. That lack of
hospitality from the home side would become a trend on the day. No need to ask
who scored though. Our captain does like his goals versus Blackburn. Ever since
his first season in 2004-05 when Van Persie emerged in the FA Cup semi-final, he’s
had a thing for scoring against the Blackeyes.
The question that also just about didn’t
need asking was who set it up. It seems the thing you have to do with Theo is
speak authoritatively about how he doesn’t get THAT many assists and he fucks
around and busts a triple. Walcott, gotta say it was a good day. My opening
volley was that at kickoff Song had more assists than Theo on the season, with
Van Persie and Gervinho level. If I have
to make ridiculous bets and wear egg on my face with this kind of trivia to
drag this Arsenal side over the line then so be it.
