Arsenal 3 Everton 1

I can't decide if I should feel massively depressed at having been well beaten by a bunch of reserves or should I try and put together a realistic view and try to make some sense of it all?

On paper this was an easy ride, a simple passage into the quarter finals and only a couple of games away from our first trip to Cardiff. However, it turned out to be anything but. Arsene Wenger must be sleeping soundly at night. If he has got this amount of talent in the reserves, then we can all pack up and go home.

I didn't expect the Reserves team to be so strong..Although they were the same players who crunch ManCity out of the competition, i thought it was just ManCity and that even my very own 'Dunlop Team/Waterboys Team' could smash ManC..

As you can see, im quite in the mood to blog rite now..Probably bcos it is 'study week' and i tend to make NO USE of it..It's been a culture, during study week, i never fail to start on Championship Manager again!!! ARGH!!! Here i am after wasting several hours on my new 'Bolton' team..goshh..

I guess blogging with the lights off, mp3 on and a few msn chat windows sets one of the best scene..Alrite, back to the game..


The game seem so promising for Everton as we took the lead as early as the 7th minute through a Tommy Gravesen's free kick!! At that moment i was saying to myself, 'Arsenal boys are not that tough cookie afterall'

Then it all started to turn sour in the 25th minute.. *notice i didnt mention anything about Edu's challenge* Anyway, Abeyie scored the first to equalise in the 25th minute and it was not all 1-way Arsenal..Everton had a couple of good chances but hats off for the Arsenal Reserves...


Then the second goal came in the 52nd minute where Lupoli smash home from 6 yards after brilliant play from Abeyie and Van Persie.. The third goal came in the 85th minute where Everton was being counter-attack and it was Lupoli's second of the game to knock Everton out of the MickeyMouse Cup..


The Arsenal first team might be in a struggling period but their reserves are certainly high-flying at the moment and with prospect of the new Emirates Stadium, Reserve team that could rub of a third place team, the future for Arsenal Football Club is certainly well planned and seem to be very promising indeed...

I salute to Arsenal Reserve team..We lost to a very hungry team..
