Wow, the fact that im blogging so soon again means it must be something special.
And it was. On sunday night.
It was the final day of the season 05/06.
More importantly it was the last match at Highbury, which i have been counting down on this blog since the turn of the year. lol.
Apart from all the celebrations expected post-match, there were still points for grabs.
We soooooooo needed 4th spot for champions league nxt season [only top 4 teams get it], and rivals Spurs have been there since December, keeping us at 5th. If Spurs won, there was nothing we could do. If they drew or lost, and we won, then we wld pip them to 4th. But, spurs have been on excellent form la, and they were "expected" to win, so no one gave us a chance about getting 4th place.

As fate would have it, on Sunday morning, a bug hit the Spurs players and 10 of their first team players suffered from food poisoning. WHAT A "BLESSING". yeah,. if it being the last match wasnt enough motivation. And we started off brilliantly. Scored a goal in 8mins and the crowd was in raptures. Then, complacency kicked in. Sigh. While everyone was cheering, Wigan stunned us first with a poorly defended freekick, to make it 1-1. And then another freekick, where the goalie was caught offguard, and BANG, it was 1-2. I was so dam shocked la. However, 2mins after that, right away, Henry got us back level with a superb 1v1 finish. 2nd half, a gift from a defender allowed henry to make it 3-2. and then soon after 4-2 from the penalty spot. His hat-trick, and he kissed the ground after that, a scene which will prob be replayed over and over again. Full time followed, and all the fans hailed the wonderful player who turned the match around. Surely, after yesterday, he would stay at Arsenal. Critics say otherwise, but i am damn sure of it. Now we can look forward to May 17th, against Barcelona, where the pressure will be off our shoulders. =)
