Premier League - Match #19

Portsmouth 0
Arsenal 0

It was a disappointing result at Fratton Park but to make it worse we lost the lead to the manures after their thumping victory at Sunderland. Despite it is just a point behind, we are facing another difficu;t trip to the Merseyside against Everton who on a few accassions managed to derail our title ambition in the past.

In a match void of inspiration, the goal-less draw perhaps a fair result for both teams.

Perhaps the match was another platform for Manuel Almunia to stamp his mark as the goalkeeper for Arsenal for the next few seasons though I still would like to see Lukasz Fabianski getting a few run-outs in the Premier League.

Playing Portsmouth at Fratton Park is never easy. Despite our 5-1 win in the FA Cup a few seasons back, the rest of the results there were not as sweet. The trend continued this morning. Then again, the ground is not a favourite destination for the manures too.

So, looking forward to the trip to Goodison Park this Saturday and hoping by the time the match kick-off, our neighbour Wet Ham would have done us a favour by getting a good result against the manures at Upton Park.

Up the Gooners!
