English Football Thread! 2006-2007 Season

[Resha]

Sad about the Arsenal game. We totally owned them stats-wise, but they did manage to have 5 shots and come away with a goal, whereas it took us 19 shots. A brilliant debut from Walcott! He shows a lot of promise, and his pace was just what our side needed; they all seem so tired and sluggish, especially Henry. I hope Henry gets rested well, soon. He really needs it. I was pretty impressed with Djourou at the back, he was brilliant, and gave Hoyte a hand...a foot...whenever he needed it. Hoyte wasn't anything outstanding so far as I saw, but he could become a really solid, dependable player.

Bless Gilberto Silva and his darling little heart! I love him so much. He always saves us in this last-minute little thrillers! (Or, sometimes.) I remember this game versus Bolton last season, where he scored in extra-time. Hopefully our next game will be better. Ljungberg was on today, and he's just full of fire-power! I hope this season's better for him than the last was; if today was anything to go by, he's going to create plenty of chances.

Also good news about the attendance! 60, 023! Whoo!

Before I kill myself with optimism and all that jazz, Bolton're beating the Jerks 2 - 0, after only 20 minutes! Now this really does make me happy, even though it's mean-spirited and all. *glee* ^___^ *edit*
