An Unscathed Victory

#NorwichCity 0 - 2 #Arsenal
Match Report


When I saw the team sheet for Sunday's season finale, I thought to myself, I wonder which one of these unlucky bastards is going to get injured and miss the #FAcup final.  The first 20 minutes of the first half that's all I thought about, "someones going get hurt".  I thought Wenger had gotten it all wrong when I saw Ramsey out on the pitch, and at one point in the first half it looked like Ramsey might have tweaked something.  But as the first half worn on, and Ramsey had not injured himself, I started to understand Wenger's reasoning behind started certain players.  Ramsey in particular appeared a bit rusty throughout the first half, not connecting on simple passes and attempting way too many back heeled passes.  Ramsey, never a player lacking in determination and confidence, kept working himself into the game, and finally broke the  2nd half deadlock with an absolutely wonderfully struck volley taken with all the ease and class of some of the best midfielders in the world.  And by the end of Ramsey's 63 minutes on the pitch, I clearly understood what Wenger was doing.  Wenger was letting Ramsey get his rhythm and timing sorted out before the most important match of the season, the FA Cup Final.  And Ramsey's performance in Sundays match, showed us Arsenal supporters that the best player on Arsenal will be ready for the final.

The Good - Carl Jenkinson scored his first goal for the club he's supported his whole life.  Arsenal is all he's ever known and loved, and in a match that felt like a pre-FA Cup final friendly, Jenkinson's reaction to scoring his first goal, showed all us supporters the true passion and love he has for Arsenal. 

The Ugly - The miserable lesbian herself, also known as Samir #Nasri won her second #BPL title in 3 years, not too shabby for a pre-op transsexual whose male hormones haven't kicked in.

Peace Out, 
Blanco
