L'attente se poursuit
It was probably one of the most disappointing matches I have seen so far. Carling cup final between Arsenal v/s Birmingham City at Wembley. Urgh, it was painful. First half, Arsenal did not come together as a team, as a result B'ham scored in 28'. But soon the awesome Robin Van Persie equalized in 39' and what a beautiful goal it was. To be honest, there were some good shots by Nasri in the first half but clearly B'ham was a better team here. HT score was 1-1. This all was gonna change in the second half. Arsenal dominated the second half, Ben Foster was a busier goal keeper than Szczesny. Wiltshere's shot hit the cross bar and couple of other shots between Nasri, Van Persie and Arshavin. But it all came down to the 89' error by Koscielny and Szczesny cost us the Carling cup. Booom and it was over.
O well, time to move on. FA Cup against Leyton Orient on Wednesday, Sunderland at home on Saturday and Barcelona at Camp Nou.
In summary, the wait for the silverware at Arsenal continues.
PS: Congrats to B'ham City on winning the Carling Cup, you guys have waited far longer than Arsenal.
