Arsenal-Man City (R) Carling Cup Pre/Dur/Post Match Thoughts

could be an interesting match

 

how can wright phillips be a sub and a starter?

 

Here we go

 

I think that's his brother

 

It is his younger brother Bradley.

 

Foul by Larson, FK to City

 

Senderos is down, he took an blow to the face off the restart.

 

The ground is only about 1/4 full, but good atmosphere none the less.
A long ball by City is headed back to Alumania.

 

Wright-Phillips played a ball across goal taken by Pennant who loses control. Corner for City.

 

Corner cleared by Cygan, foul by City on the play

 

Foul off the corner. FK for Arsenal. Announcers said Alumnia misplaced the cross leading to the corner.

 

City seems to have good possession, pressing well

 

City dominating possession. Wright-Phillips plays the ball out for Arsenal throw.

 

Wind is swirling inside the stadium. Foul on City, FK to Arsenal. Flamini's ball put through but it is long and taken by the defense.

 

Announcers impressed with Lupoli - some good touches/movement so far

 

Arsenal throw down the right side after a ball for Lupoli played clear. City break, but Larson clears it out of play.

 

Alumania comes out of the goal and takes at the feet of Flood.

 

Smith gives a free kick to City, after a good bit of play, foul on Sibieski.

 

Did I hear that right? Celtic is down 2 to Aberdeen at Home? WTF is that????

 

RvP is fouled FK to Arsenal. 1/4 hour gone. Headed away by Sinclair at the near post. Smith a run through, taken away by Mills. Flamini is changing his boots, Arsenal down to 10 men momentarily.

 

Coach, that's true, both goals were in the first 6 minutes or so. Aberdeen just switched keepers also.

 

You're not on drugs, Coach. It is 2-0 Dons.

 

Well, I did just beat them 6-0 on Fifa2005 (playing as Aberdeen, because Aberdeen RULES!)..........and even I was stunned by the result.

 

And I thought it was just Europe where they were crashing fantastically...

Good news for Rangers, I suppose.
