Ajax 2 - Arsenal 3

Wow what a game & scoreline. I didnt really get to watch it in full, just bits & pieces. We started with an almost full side, Almunia, Toure, Gallas (C), Clichy, Sagna, Eboueoue, Denilson, Fabregas, Walcott, Van Persie & Adebayour. Welcome back Cesc & Toure. You guys gotta check out Toure's new hairdo.

You can check the full detailed commented game at Arsenal.com. From my bits & pieces, Arsenal play the normal passing & attacking game. Ajax were at the backfoot most of the time. Walcott was really dangerous at times, he's movement reminded me of a certain No.14. That being said, the dutch scored 2 goals in 2 minutes (i missed this). I know Hunterlaar scored one. Both goals look unstoppable, but I havent seen real replays yet. It finished 2-0 at halftime. I thought at 2-0 its impossible to catch the dutch.

I only get to watch the last 10 minuts of 2nd half, and it was 2-2 then. Horay!!
Then a good teamwork between Denilson & Adebayour at edge of box finished the game at 83rd minute.

It was a thrilling game, compared to certain Moaninho's predictable 0-0 draw earlier. I hope Arsenal will do the same against another dutch team on Wednesday :)

My 1st Blog

Hello, today is my very first blog. Being an Arsenal FC supporter and originating from Asia, I figure this would be a great way to start. I'll begin with a preview of Ajax Tourney later.

I recommend arsenal.com, arseblog.com & aculturedleftfoot.wordpress.com for your viewing pleasure.
