2 AM and the game wasn’t even on TV. I was following live updates from BBC, TIA, and my beloved TAN. Couldn’t believe we were trailing 0-2 within 15 minutes. What’s that feeling when you are a simmering pot of disbelief, sadness, anger, and all that sprinkled with defiance and hope? Then Ox scored and I was like; Yeah bitches, the comeback is on. But they made it 1-3 and by HT it was more of hope than belief.

Someone shared a streaming link and I was able to watch the rest of the game; thanks, pal. The HT substitutions lifted our game and my spirit; and at 2-3, I was like a restless Chihuahua with just one thing on my mind, can we make it? Ox definitely didn’t do me any favors by blasting those shots into the infinity. Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, and my heart was sinking with every passing second.

And then, it happened. Takumi ghosted away from two defenders, softly chesting the ball from a lovely Milner cross and firing the most exquisite volley you will ever see.

Right. No more red. Good on you

I just wish someone had told Nottingham Forest because they now look like they are all for spilling loads of teenager blood on the streets, and then rolling in it

[danyjr]

I forgot it was January, the time Arsenal used to crash every season (when they were still a relevant club, that is).
