The Effect of Football..

Today is the day of two high-octane clashes in the Premier League.. One being the less in excitement,Chelsea playing Birmingham at home and the other being the Spurs playing Arsenal at home.
The first halves are over in the games and I haven't had this much fun before!
Leave out the Chelsea game since I do not really like to watch their games. Let's talk about the Arsenal game.
4th Minute: (Cesc)Fabregas threads a fine pass to (Theo)Wallcott stays on side as the defence rushed out and lured the Goalie into a 1-on-1 and slots the ball 15 yards from goal
4th Minute (83 Seconds after the Arsenal Goal): Again the offside trap was sprung and (Rafael)Van der Vaart raced through into space after a perceptive ball from person unknown to me precisely at this time and he blasted his shot into the corner 82 seconds after Arsenal had gone ahead.
13th Minute: "I'm going to be pooped after this". Diaby on the right of the box, or moving towards it, and threaded a pass to Nasri running on to the ball slightly to the right of the D. He belts it across goal towards the bottom right corner and Gomes can't get down quick enough.
40th Minute: Sagna and Fabregas almost pull off a one-two on the right of the Spurs box but Bale intercepts and knocks it out for a throw, from which Sagna plays in Walcott right by the goalline and hits a cross to the back stick. GAllas is in two mionds about heading or chesting and Van persie steals in to head, Gomes leaps and knocks it straight back to him. He snaffles the rebound and scores.
42nd Minute: My poor fingers. Beautiful half-volley from Huddlestone sails into the goal after the throw that came after Bale's treatment finished.
42nd Minute: If you want five goals, come to me. Tottenham had a corner seconds after scoring but Arsenal dealt with it. I should have stressed that Szczesny got to the ball before Bale and then clouted him with the force of his dive. Modric has a penalty appeal after dummying Djourou and cutting inside him and into the box. Djourou's arm does connect with the Croat's throat so it could have been a penalty. I'd have to see it again. Butch Wilkins "has seen them given"
45 Minutes +3 : Walcott again almost gets the bounce of the ball to beat Dawson when it's played over the top for him to run on to but Dawson does well to flick it back to Gomes. Clichy is then booked for a lunge. Dawson takes the free kick long into the box and Crouch heads down but inaccurately and the keeper easily picks it up.

The first half ends there. Update coming soon!
Watching a football match with friends in public is surely the best thing that we could do in the holidays!
GO GUNNERS!

And I'll cover the Real Madrid Vs Barcelona game later since I'm too held up with the amazing football being played by Arsenal and the Spurs right now!
