Arsenal v Liverpool ~ 28-10-07

Arsenal returned to the top of the Premiership after a late equaliser by Cesc Fabregas earned them a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

The hosts seemed intent on giving Arsenal a good fight, and when Steven Gerrard blasted home from twenty yards on seven minutes it looked like the north Londoners were in for a fierce battle.



But, after his early goal, Gerrard seemed content to run around chasing shadows for the rest of the match as Arsenal kept the ball in Liverpool's half and created chances.

Gerrard and the rest of his team were spectators for the most part, as the Arsenal boys ran rings around the Scousers, and the three points were there for the taking. But, the absence of van Persie was a huge blow to the team, and Adebayor looked well off the pace at times, producing nothing of any value.

Liverpool hung on desperately to the lead until ten minutes from time. Step forward the hero of the day, Cesc Fabregas, who in the eightieth minute with a pass from Hleb, wrong-footed Pepe Reina with a shot from eight yards and scored the equalising goal.



This was his tenth goal of the season, and once again proved his worth on the pitch. He should have scored more and should have been given the man of the match award. That went to Jamie Carragher, who fiercely broke down Arsenal's attacks. But, the unneccessary shirt-pulling he did on Fabregas should have given Arsenal a penalty.

Had Arsenal lost this match it wouldn't have been such a big deal, as Liverpool aren't (in my opinion) good enough to challenge for the title. The Big One comes next Saturday. Arsenal and Manchester United are both playing excellent football at the moment, so this match will definitely be one to watch. Hold onto your seats, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Up The Gunners!

What better way for a Gunnerette to start a blog than with a fantastic victory against Slavia Prague?


After all the doom and gloom gossip from the 'wind-up' merchants following Thierry Henry's departure, it is now there for all to see and delight. The amazing form that this team is showing is almost too good to be true. Maybe Henry should have left before....?

But no-one could predict that his departure would bring such impressive results.

Monday was Arsène Wenger's 58th birthday. When asked what gift he would like to be given most by his players he replied -

"To play better on Tuesday than they did against Bolton."

And they didn't disappoint!


Arsenal are unbeaten so far this season, including twelve consecutive victories. This puts us on track to break a club record, as three more wins will give us our longest ever winning streak which was achieved back in 87/88.

Two of which we need to win in order to do this are Liverpool away and Manchester United at the Emirates. Let's hope this run of victories continues for the foreseeable future.

Up The Gunners!
