Absolute f***ing legends. Who said we can't battle? Who said we can't tough it out away from home? Who said we don't score shit goals? We are top of the league the best f***ing team in England, back to the top where he deservedly belong. Our flowing football was not there today and in the first half we were f***ing woeful, but we battled so well. Flamini is just utter class he didn't lose a tackle all day. He won his headers, he won his tackles and you saw moments where he was encouraging everyone led like a real captain today. I watched the game with my mate who is an evertonian and after we've done so shite against them recently I am delighted with the win.
The first half we started off and just looked like we didn't want to even be there. Everton weren't great either in the first half just did the usual kick it long to Yakubu and win the knock downs which too be fair they do superbly. Everton looked dangerous from corners all game and their goal came from a great ball in from Arteta and what the hell Bendtner was doing f**k knows and Cahill healed it in. We were on the down and Everton were firmly on the way up and we needed to show a lot of mental strength to hold on in there. Everto played some lovely stuff a great bit of skill from Yobo and Neville sent one over at the end of another well worked move. Eduardo couldn't near the ball and Bendtner was playing worse than Ade did against Pompey. The partnership that had performed so well in the Carling Cup was just not working and there was a clear lack of communication. Cesc and Hleb just couldn't get into the game either and Arteta was pulling the strings as expected.
Second half we came out and to be honest I was hoping we could sneak a goal and hold out for a point, but we did a lot better than that. A punt up field from Clichy and Eduardo was there to put it past Howard for 1-1. To get the goal so early in the second half was exactly what we needed and gave the team such a lift and put a dent in the Everton confidence. We started to really up our game and started to actually look like a threat and Hleb actually even took a shot at goal. Then another punt from Clichy again I think it was and some shocking defending from Jagielka who was brushed aside so easily by Eduardo and then he put it away absolutely superbly. He done f**k all for the whole game, but you cannot doubt his finishing if you give him a chance he puts it away. We've been crying out for someone like that and maybe Eduardo can be that man. He certainly needs to toughen up and add a lot more in his passing if he is to get ahead of our 3 other strikers, but finishing like that is more than welcome and could be crucial in all competitions.
At 2-1 up I really thought we would push on and again only Flamini was battling and Everton to their credit came back superbly. They were again giving everything and we really needed that third goal. I thought Sagna really struggled up against Pienaar today and just couldn't get hold of him, but he didn't give up and stuck to his task well. Kolo's passing was shit again and his marking for the goal was poor, but after that he was amazing. Won his headers and battled so well and alongside Captain fantastic who must be so glad he left the shit at the Bridge. Clichy was amazing today. He was up against a player who should be playing for a top 4 side at least and he did magnificent. His attacking wasn't at his best, but he showed what he can do defensively. He also had two assits with those superb hoofs up field.
Then the contreversy a poor tackle from Bendtner which deservedly resulted in a red card. I have no complaints about it deserved a straight red and we're lucky he instead only has a one match ban rather than a three. The sending off of Arteta was very harsh and Cesc made himself look a right prick by making a meal of it. There was contact and was definitely a free kick, but no more than that. As awful as it was I don't give a shit Cesc I f***ing love you
With us down to 10 men and Everton with 11 I just thought here we go, we're going to f***ing lose this lead. That fat lump up front who caused us trouble all game the likely scorer. But instead Almunia with a superb kick up field and Yobo and Howard f***ked it right up and who is there KING ADEBAYOR. The guy is bloody brilliant and that sealed the win. Arteta then went and with Ade and Diaby playing some superb stuff in the corner Rosicky fired it home.
4-1 I cannot believe it to be honest. After those dirty northerners lost at West Ham we now sit top of the league. Who is top and where they deservedly belong? A great win and now we must push on and really go for it against the Hammers and are difficult run of fixtures will be over. So proud of the lads it is unreal.
WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE
SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE
Apologies for the swearing again. I really will try to cut it out soon, but just so happy
