April Month Report

2W1D1L and we still have a slim chance to finish 5th. The month started with a defeat at RH's West Brom. We then geared up, and 4 points from two games vs City and Gooners shown that we can fight with the top team, and the 5-0 victory over Birmingham is our best performance this season so far.

Players of the Month: (1) Reina 7.63 (2) Suarez 7.5 (3) Kuyt 7.38. Pepe toped the chart again this month with two clean sheets, and the 3 goals conceded are all penalties. Despite not scoring Suarez has been very lively in all the matches. And Kuyt capped the month with 3 goals scored.

May Prediction:
5/1 Newcastle United (h) With or without Carroll, we need to beat them.
5/9 Fulham (a) A tricky match as always.
5/15 Tottenham Hotspur (h) Potential 5th place decider.
5/22 Aston Villa (a) Get well soon, GH!

Match Report 110417 at Arsenal: Team spirit drives u through

1-1 and it was a dramatic 12 minute added time that see us coming back from a 98th minute penalty to draw the game at the 102th minute. The players really show they won't give up, and by fighting till the last minute, their efforts are rewarded. Although it could probably hand #19 to a certain team in Manchester, what we look for is the fighting spirit of the team, that we have not seen for a long time.

Players Rating:
Reina: 8 Made a few great saves to draw the game.
Flanagan: 7 A good performance in general.
Carragher: 7.5 Another full hearted performance despite the concussion.
Skrtel: 7 No nonsense performance.
Aurelio: 6 Another hamstring....
Kuyt: 7.5 Another coolly taken penalty under tremendous pressure.
Lucas: 7.5 Boss the midfield and win the crucial penalty.
Spearing: 7.5 A very good performance despite conceded a penalty, which is a doubtful one.
Meireles: 7 Not feeling too good on the left side.

Carroll: 6.5 Not able to exert his aerial strength.

Substitutions:
Robinson: 7 A very confident performance.
Kyrgiakos: 7 Solid performance when called upon.
Shelvey: 7 A good performance, and almost scored a Xabi goal.

King Kenny: 7.5 Would be absolute happy in the team spirit. It shows we really care the result.

Arsenal: 7 Bad losers. It will now be very difficult for them to win the league...

Man of the Match: Reina. Now he should know it will be a bad idea to join the gooner...

Do our best

We have not win at Arsenal since 2001 and it is a long long time. What's more, if we win we may have handed #19 to a certain team. But as King Kenny says we need to win as the fans won't be happy if we lose. So we will try our best and bring 3 points home.

My Team Prediction:
Reina
Flangan
Carragher
Skrtel
Aurelio
Kuyt

3:0 and this is a very convincing win. Carroll opened his goal account with 2 nicely taken goals, and Kuyt scored one for his son's birthday gift. Also Flangan's debut is very impressive. In general, this is a good team performance and we need to play like this week in week out.

Avoid another double

Although the season was not that good so far we only suffer one double by other team, and it was Blackpool. To keep this record, we need to at least draw City tonight. It will be a tough game, especially with so many injuries, but we have a week's rest and City will probably has one eye in the FA Cup semi final, so we will have a chance, and we need to take it.

My Team Prediction:
Reina
Carragher
Skrtel
Kyrgiakos
Kuyt
Lucas
Spearing
Maxi
Meireles

Match Report 110402 at West Bromwich Albion: Referee get it all wrong

1-2 and as if it is fate, we lose to a team managed by RH. What's worse is that Johnson and Agger were injured, and we will not see Agger again this season. The team now need to dig deep and try to win as many game as possible, although fifth place is now fading away gradually.
