Finally an update :)

The long dormant blog finally sees an update and no prizes for guessing why :D

The Big match happened on Sunday and Arsenal beat Man Utd 1-0 at the Man Utd fortress Old Trafford. Before the match everyone had written Arsenal off because of the large spate of injuries and the none too exciting form they were playing in. People were discussing the quantum of defeat that Arsenal would suffer without even giving them a chance. As one of the few Arsenal fans on campus (and in India i think :D) it was a tough time facing the comments on the poor performance.

And then the big match happened......Was a match full of ups and downs and a huge number of errors on both sides....Arsenal missed a penalty in the first half and that was not really a good sign....with the match coming to the 85th minute without any goal being scored most of us had resigned ourselves to a draw. And then Fabregas with a pure flash of inspiration made a run inside the box and gave a superb pass to Adbayor who made no mistake :D.

Normally am a person who does speak much but take some liberties when it comes to football :D ..... I think my reaction to the goal being scored was something worth watching and most people in the common room were surprised :D. But then I'm a die-hard supporter of the Arsenal and this win really meant something. Had a great time after that talking to all the Man Utd fans who had written the team off before the match.

So finally hope to get the season underway albeit a bit late in the day :)

Update on campus life in my next post which will be posted shortly :)
