Corner flag (vol 2.3)

It eventually was one of the most exciting games that I have ever witnessed. Out played for significant periods of time, to come back and equalise in the manner they did, was just fucking fantastic. Yes, we lost Fabregas and Arshavin for rest of the season, but the final 30 minutes was just fucking brilliant - a bit emotional for the monkey over here and for scores of other monkeys around the world.

Its only half-way though the QF and with our 2 best players out, its going to be a bigger ask away at Nou Camp. But its all there to play for as Petit declares over here. With our squad decimated, its pointless to analyse our chances in the Champions league and the Premier league. Its down to the 12-14 players that remain to become bigger players (in height, skills and mental ability) - one way that can happen, is to plug into the Matrix.

In other words, I don't expect them to win anything - but have every opportunity to become bigger players by putting on a show - for the club, for us monkeys and for themselves. Its time to hope and only hope - which is not a bad thing honestly.
