No Mercy for the 'Merseyside' !

 

 GUNNER STUNNER! ARSHAVIN Seals the WINNER! Like I anticipated earlier.. Gunners did take advantage of the week where none of the premier league contenders won their home game. Chelsea dropped 2 points as they drew level with Everton & Man U lost all three points as Aston Villa earned their first ever victory at Old Trafford in 23 years. With so much going in favour for Arsenal it was the moment for the Gunners to make hay while the sun shined. With the home crowd behind, Liverpool started of brightly & with  Torres & Gerrard starting after a long gap there was hope for the Liverpool supporters & it soon became  more evident when Kuyt scored the opening goal & later finished the first half leading 1-0. A huge sigh of relief for the Gooners when Glen Johnson netted a own goal to make things level. Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas post match said a furious half-time outburst from Gunners manager Arsene Wenger inspired them to come from behind and beat Liverpool 2-1 & that started showing off as Arshavin continued haunting Anfield & by the 58th minute, Gunners were ahead.. courtesy a sublime strike strike by Arsenal ace Arshavin. Back in April, the previous season Arshavin had created history by striking 4 times but failed to snatch a victory inspite of such splendid performance as Liverpool leveled with Arsenal & the score at the full time showed 4-4. It was a turnaround this time as Arshavin again showed No Mercy for the 'Merseyside'! but his single strike was enough for the Gunners to seal the victory at Anfield. With a game in hand, we are  at the strongest position in the title race. Gunners all gunned up to burn down Burnley.Go GUNNERS!!!!!!!!!!

Gunners get back to winning ways.

Arsenal got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Stoke City at the Emirates Stadium. In an attempt to solve the sudden dearth of goals that had coincided with Van Persie’s injury, Wenger gave Andrei Arshavin his chance to prove that he can be the answer in the problem “Striker” role. The Growing Arsenal injury list just got bigger; both Eduardo & Walcott rejoined the injured squad again & did not play against Stoke. The Gunners started brightly, Fabregas put Arshavin through one on one with Sorensen but he came out to block the Russian's shot. Arsenal were then given a golden chance to take the lead in the 20th minute when Arshavin was tripped by Delap in the box and referee pointed to the spot. Fabregas stepped up to take the penalty but Sorensen stretched to his left to palm the ball around the post. Arshavin, though, finally did make Arsenal’s dominance count on 26 minutes when he exchanged passes with Fabregas and then adjusted his feet brilliantly to shoot into the bottom corner. Wenger had chosen Arshavin ahead of striker Carlos Vela at the start but the Mexican was given a chance to impress in the second half when he replaced Rosicky. Wenger had accused Stoke of deliberately attempting to injure Arsenal players during the fixture between the two at the Britannia Stadium last year and Stoke maintained their physical approach in the second half. The second goal came with 11 minutes remaining when Ramsey picked up the ball on the edge of the box and produced a crafted finish which moved away from Sorensen's dive. Crisis averted & Gunners coast to comfortable win. Not to forget, Arsenal scored for the first time in Premier League since the absence of Van Persie & Its time to celebrate & enjoy the weekend as Gunners get back to winning ways.
