Reflecting on Arsenal's first part of the league season.

Just wanted to reflect on Arsenal's first part of the league season.

It all started bad in a 1-1 draw againstt Liverpool, we didn't even score there, Reina did us the favor in the last minute, Koscielny got sent off in that match.

Rosicky showing his joy after Arsenal got a draw.

As games kept on rolling Arsenal got back to their best and win some important matches, we won 3 consecutive matches, Blackpool, Blackburn and Bolton. And convincing all the fans with those performances, 'this could be the season' we thought.

Then the game against Sunderland at the Stadium of the light came, Arsenal started winning 1-0 on the 1st half, Cesc Fabregas scored an awesome yet lucky goal, unluckily for Arsenal he got injured. In the second half Alex Song got sent off and everything was going down. Then, suddenly, Arsenal were awarded by a penalty, again, unluckily rosicky sent it to the sky. Then it's all history, the ref gave 3 or 4 extra minutes and the goal came in the very last minute, a blow. FT score 1-1.

West Brom's goal.

Another disappointment came, we were facing West Brom, at the Emirates, and it was just a DISASTER. What a bad game from Almunia, but oh well, we are accustomed to that. West Brom were winning 3-0 at the 60th minute, Nasri scored two goals then, but three points lost. FT score 2-3.

Another blow to our title hopes came, we were playing against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and couldn't come out with at least a point. FT score 2-0.

In the next week, Arsenal were playing against Birmingham at the Emirates, a must win. And yeah, they did it, 2-1, still we were not watching our best Arsenal, just average.

Then we went to Manchester to face Manchester City, a difficult game to call. At the first minute the citizens had a golden chance to score but Fabianski saved us, then Boyata got sent off because of a tackle at Chamakh. 10 vs 11. First goal came with an awesome play between Nasri and Arshavin, Nasri scored, he was on top form. Second half came and Arsenal kept on playing good football, Alex Song scored the second goal with a stunner. Then, in the last 10 minutes, Bendtner did an amazing run after a Nasri a pass, and scored brilliantly. FT score 0-3. Great performance.

We got visited by West Ham, then. Frustrating game, goal never came and Arsenal were creating chances just didn't convert. Alex Song saved us in the last minute with a stunning header after a Clichy cross. Oh yeah!

Newcastle came to visit us, they won 1-0. Goal came in the first half by Andy Carroll, our home performances were so average.

Then we had to visit Wolverhampton Wanderers, tough game, Chamakh scored a goal in the firsts minutes though. Wolves started to create chances and they deserved a goal, in the last minute they had a golden opportunity but Fabianski saved it brilliantly, just after that, Chamakh scored another goal, after a bad performance we won 2-0.

Arsenal won the next two matches away, at Goodison Park and at Villa Park, FT score against Everton was 2-1 in favor of the gunners, and against Villa it was 4-2 in favor of the gooners as well.

Before that Aston Villa match, we played against T*ttenham. Yeah, our shadow. The match started brilliantly for us, scored two goals, Nasri and Chamakh, and then I can't tell you what happened as I went to English school at that hour, but the final score was 3-2 in favor of the scum. Disappointment.

Then Fulham came to visit us, Nasri scored an awesome couple of goals, it was just WOOW. Anyways we won 2-1. Nasri was on top form, he made himself the opportunity and then scored brilliantly, top player.

We needed to face Manchester United, Fabregas couldn't play in that match, and Van Persie was coming back from an injury, anyways Arsenal lost 1-0.

Then Chelsea went to visit us at the Emirates, I must admit that that was such a top performance by Arsenal, that's all. Goals were scored by Song, Walcott and Fabregas, Ivanovic scored for them. 3-1, everyone was proud of the Gunners.

To finish this post and that year (2010). We played against Wigan at their home. We were winning 2-1 for most of the game, but Squillaci scored an own goal when the game was dying. 2-2.

In summary this first part of the season was a roller coaster. Arsenal won and the next week they lost, we had some disappointing performances as again West Brom and Tottenham, and brilliant performances as against Chelsea and Aston Villa.

2nd part to come soon.
