Demolition Derby

Wow. The Gunners gave the meek rams a football lesson on Saturday. The result – A thumping 5-0 scoreline and more exhilarating football to boot. The relative ease that Arsenal finish off Derby was great. This young side is shaping up well….

We had Fab4 moving in top gear. The modern thinking footballer, spraying passes intelligently and importantly, scoring goals regularly. This was his sixth match in a row which he has scored.

Abou Diaby opened accounts on the 10th minute with a rocket, Adebayor added two more to make it 3-0… Another rocket whistled in on the 70th minute, it was Fab4’s parting shot prior to being rested. The fifth one and Adebayor’s hattrick came when the Togo international chested a long ball forward, evaded his marker and fired home.

Every Gunner played above themselves. Walcott looked as though he was trying to hard. His final ball did go astray couple of times. However, I like his darting runs. Hoped he could rise and show all the flair and early promise he was demonstrating back in Southampton.

I admit I am a bigot. I once commented that Adebayor wasn’t the type of finished article I so long for to lead the Arsenal attack. I am wrong.

Keep on playing this magical way…come May 08, the Thierry Henry years will only become fond memories and this team of young Gunners will be the Special Ones.
