Arsenal 1 : 2 Chelsea. BLAH!
Feb. 26th, 2007 12:58 amSheesh...
Arsenal Vs. Cheslea! What the hell happened?! That game got intense! Jose Mourinho wasn't kidding when he said the game would be a classic!
First half Arsenal youngsters totally outplayed Chelsea. Definitely and Walcott with that goal...first Arsenal goal was beautiful! Oh it was happy times! Well, when the Chelsea fans weren't throwing celery down on the pitch, especially during Fabregas' corner kicks. That was pretty lame.
But things wouldn't last. Chelsea's only shot on target of the half would lead to a goal. Drogba beat the offside trap and slipped a ball in between Almunia's legs and tied the game up. Taking it 1-1 at the half.
Second half and this is where the drama begins. The young players of Arsenal stuck with Chelsea pretty good but they didn't dominate the second half like the first. So Chelsea got more time down at the penaltly area. And that's when John Terry comes in to head the ball as Diaby's boot comes up to clear it. and BAM! a boot to the head and John Terry falls the ground lifeless. His arms went limp at his side and he was unconscious. It was pretty bad. Shit...they brought on an oxygen bag and put him in a neck brace and then he was carted off to the hospital. I believe the last I heard though is that Terry was fine and had actually made it back to the stadium for the celebrations.
Anyway, then eventually...comes the second Chelsea goal. You could just feel it coming. Throughout the game they didn't make too many chances, but everytime Chelsea made a move to goal it seemed dangerous...you could just feel that they could score at any moment. And Drogba got his second goal. Took the lead. :(
So time was winding down and Arsenal were getting desperate...starting to pass the ball longer and then Mikel takes Toure down and Toure jumps up and gets in Mikel's face like nobody's business. And some pushing and shoving. Lampard and Fabregas beging shoving and then its a brawl. Players pushing players. Ref is in the middle of it blowing his whistle. I think some punches may have been thrown. Mourinho and Wenger march onto the field. It was craziness.
And then the cards come out. Mikel and Toure get red carded. Though actually...after rewatching the footage...unless Mikel got booked for his tackle or did something crazy off camera I didn't see too much he did that was red card worthy. He got pushed by Toure and then they got separated and Mikel through his hands in the air and seemed to step away from the fighting. *shrug*
Adebayor got red carded and went nuts! Because he didn't do anything. After the game the referee admitted that Adebayor was wrongly booked and it was in fact Eboue who was the culprit...so we'll see what happens there. And Lampard and Fabregas got yellow carded.
Woooo...it was silly. And in the end Arsenal lost their cool and their concentration and I think if they would have focused at they end...they could have found that equalizer. But they decided to throw a bitch fit. I love the Arsenal, but I do think they had a bigger hand in the brawl. And let's not blame the little Young Gunners...because it was the more experiences Arsenal players who were in the middle of that brawl. Don't let the fight taint the awesome way those younger men were playing out there. They put up a hell of a fight against a almost full strength Chelsea team. WOOP WOOP!
So, EXCITING game. I'm bummed I couldn't have recorded it. It was entertaining as all hell! And I'm glad Terry seems to be alright.
In other news. Went bowling today! I've only been wanting to go bowling for like...EVER! It was awesome! And the concession man was so fucking hot...mmmmmmmm.
