Arsenal 3 WBA 1

The match theme was Bergkamp Day, and loads of free orange t-shirts were handed out before the game. You might be able to buy one from ebay as some sad people are selling them, even worse some people are buying them! The ground looked strange with a good proportion in orange. This may have had an adverse effect on the team as Arsenal played below par until WBA equalised in the 73rd ish minute. Bergkamp and Pires came on as subs just before the WBA goal. The last ten minutes were unsuprisingly down to Bergkamp, and he showed us all what he has done in the past 10 years for the club: Skill, fight and class but only in short bursts.

Can't be bothered to put anymore about the game. Martin Keown was on the pitch at half time. He gave some medals to what appeared to be the ladies under 16's. This age was confirmed after pervy discussion with Space Cadet.

More supersition seemed to be in force during the game. This seemed to involve my "brown zip up cardigan". Whilst wearing this in the first half, Arsenal were winning. I took it off in second half to expose my orangeness, only for WBA to score. Straight after I refitted the lucky brown garment and we scored twice. Bad news is that it is in the wash for tonights game v Villarreal...I have my excuses all ready
