Blistering pace?

Dad retreated to bed earlier yesterday as he got himself frustrated with the gunners dismal first half display, so he missed the 2nd half.
It's kind of hard watching footie with him, he EXPECTS to be entertained all the time and starts to criticize every single player who makes mistakes. That's why he is a non supporter of any team!

It was all peace when he had gone to bed, even if I need to endure 1 nil down scoreline for long period of the game. I never lost hope (after all the comebacks act in recent weeks) and kept on munching my prawn crackers, somehow it has this reverse panic impact on me but the thought of giving up our unbeaten at the Grove record and looming gloomy monday do sets in.

Stayed through and duly awarded with a win, not exactly pretty stuffs but it'll do.

Before the game, I asked the bro if he wants to switch allegiance and be a gooner LIKE ME since he stayed up for the gunners game more than his blues matches. "Hah No way. I'm still for the blues but I like the way the gunners play"...pfft. And he unceremoniously ditched me for his goodnight sleep.

Dad fetch us to work today. As always, our mornings is about what happened in yesterdays' game. I gave them the match lowdown, altho' mine would never be as comprehensive as theirs (oh hey, I'm a girl after all). We agreed that Theo is lacking in terms of technical and spatial, game awareness like most pacey English players ie. Penant, Dyer, Jenas, Lennon.
All pace but nothing much in between their ears but it'll be different for Theo i guess, cos he has monsieur Wenger to guide him. Let's hope he developed that qualities soon.

Walcott is struggling at the moment and may have to settle for a place on the bench today, but he has great potential which will be realised if he absorbs some of the technical brilliance possessed by his colleagues.
Unfortunately his pace at a young age could have hindered his long-term development. As with many very fast players he would have been encouraged by coaches as a schoolboy to exploit his pace at the expense of technique and tactical knowledge, a typically English mentality. Of course this would have stood him apart from other players and won matches for his team but not developed his game to the
full. - Telegraph

If only players like Cesc or Rosicky is bestowed that kind of pace. It would be devastating.
Oh wait, we have that already. It's Thierry Henry.

Cesc looks tired. haizzz. kesian budak tu. week in week out muker dier je yg main.
