Fourth Draw In A Row

Arsenal dropped points again last night with their fourth draw in a row. It is getting really frustrating to watch them play at times. As usual, they had chances but did not take them well enough. Debutant, Andrey Arshavin, had 2 good chances in the first half and I think he did brilliantly in the game. Ma Lee thinks he is kinda cute. Lol. His first effort was a little wide while his second forced a good save from Sunderland's keeper, Marton Fulop. His substitute, Carlos Vela, on the other hand, was guilty for missing 2 good chances. He drove both chances wide and it drove me mad. Nicklas Bendtner was inconsistent last night. He only managed one good header whilst Robin van Persie was pretty good. He had 1 clear chance that forced Sunderland's keeper to another superd save. However, it wasn't all Arsenal as Sunderland too managed some really good efforts. But, I thought Arsenal should have attacked more and close the gap against fourth place Chelsea. -Sigh- In other matches, Manchester United widen the gap at the top with another win (2-1 against Blackburn) and in an earlier kick-off, Chelsea scrapped past Aston Villa 0-1 at Villa Park. Liverpool will be playing tonight against Manchester City.

Anyway, a HUGE THANK YOU to Ma Lee who actually accompanied me till 1 a.m., watching soccer. I think at the end of it, she has somehow like it. Lol. And I do think she enjoyed the game a little. She was rueing some chances that Arsenal missed throughout the match. An Arsenal fan in the making? Lol!

And finally, below are 2 pictures of debutant, Arshavin.

Arshaving shooting. This one eventually went wide. Good effort though.

That's all from me this time. Have a good and nice Sunday.
