What a disappointing night. Stayed up till 2:30 in the morning watching Arsenal vs ManUtd match, only to see it result in a draw.
Now I'm in office, sleepy as hell, but still trying to keep my spirits up because tonight I AM GOING TO RUSSELL PETERS SHOW! :)
As many people rightfully said, it was a match between "No defence" and "No offence". That's how sad our two teams are this season. But we Gunners will prevail!
I have seen every Arsenal ManUtd match so far, and it always makes me nervous when these two teams play because referees always tend to favour the Red Devils, especially at Old Trafford, and more especially during "Fergie Time".
And last night when this happened, a beautiful precision pass to Auba who neatly netted it, and the linesman ruled it offside, I was like, oh no, not again, ManUtd's 12th man is playing again. As you can see below, it was sooooo not offside.
But Arsenal fans have learnt to deal with it. We face this shenanigan every time we play against ManUtd so it was no big deal. We just shrug our shoulders and move on. Life ain't fair. However, this season, there is something new, something ManUtd fans never expected. This season, there is a new Sheriff in town and his name is VAR!
Yes, the Video Assistant Referee! VAR immediately stepped in and ruled the linesman's call invalid and allowed the goal. Whoopeeedooo!
With big brother VAR now over-watching every match, it would be really hard for ManUtd to climb up the Premier League table as referees and linesmen can no longer rule in their favour all the time. And that is why they are currently not even visible in the table :D
Ahhhh…
Anyway, today I finally received my AMSC (Arsenal Mumbai Supporters Club) membership renewal kit! Yayyy.
There was the usual Arsenal official calendar, 2019-20.
There was this amazing and authentic Arsenal cap.
And finally, this beautiful gym bag.
Lolz. I have no idea what I'll do with this. Is AMSC hinting that I should start exercising and hitting the gym? Yeah maybe I should start doing that from next week :)
So cheers everyone. Will update on Russell Peters show tomorrow. Ciao.
