Well, well, well. This season's start is nothing short of awesomeness. But before I start the report, the EFL Cup took this week, where the teams that are from the lower divisions, and those from the "Prem" that finished anywhere but the top 5, played and we had our ups and downs. More importantly, Arsenal FC won a game! Against West Bromwich Albion, who, sadly conceded 6 goals from "The Gunners". Could this mean that the bad luck Arsenal FC has had since the start of the season be gone? Could this mean that they have finally started to find their old winning spirit that would take them very far in this seaso-
Manchester City vs Arsenal
Honestly, I can't be bothered anymore with this
Arsenal FC have managed to bottle it yet again! This time, against "The Citizens", and in their turf, too! It could've been worse, had the match was played on the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta is basically gonna get "fired" from the cannon itself. HOW COULD THIS MAN RUN THIS CLUB??? I'll tell you how: This man here, Mikel Arteta, has signed a contract with BBC for a new tv comedy show. And that show is Arsenal FC. The premise? Getting demolished by everyone.
Honestly speaking, the whole squad was on its knees after Ferron Torres' goal in the 12th minute. That marked the game as finished and City winning the 3 points. To make matters worse, Granit Xhaka got sent off after a horrific challenge in the 35th minute. Arsenal were a man down. He ran out of stamina, thus, being unable to endure the slaughtering.
City, as the usual, were the dominant force of the game. From start to finish, nothing but attack, attack and attack! The match for them was basically a practice game before the start of the UEFA Champions League, which will happen in 3 weeks time.
All in all, a deserved win for "The Citizens", and a humiliating loss for "The Gunners", and a bunch of satisfied fans that witnessed this match.
I just can't be bothered to say anything about this team at this point. The highlights say it all.
An epic match between two strong sides
This game was a tough one. Both sides were unable to best one another, and the game was finished with both teams sharing the point. Klopp's Liverpool was on the losing trail in the 22nd minute, after Kai Havertz scored a lovely header to give "The Blues" the lead. Fortunately, Mohamed "Mo" Salah managed to equalize through a penalty, right as the 1st half came to an end. Afterwards, both Liverpool and Chelsea had their moments, but none could break the tie. For some, this was a good result, but for the "Reds" from Merseyside and the "Blues" from London, it was not. Hopefully, their next games may bring back the lost points, or lose them, or one side could reclaim them, whereas the other one might not. Who knows.
Nothing was able to separate these two teams in the end. Brilliant goal from Havertz though.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United
We're fucked at this point. Not even Ronnie can help this club...
Elsewhere, Wolverhampton were unlucky in winning the game against Manchester United. Despite their hard work, better possession, and overall, better BLOODY game, they lost the game thanks to a late goal from Mason Greenwood in the 80th minute. Up until that point, the game was favoring "The Wolves". Brilliant attacking, outstanding passing, set pieces that were out of this world. As if the roles were inverted and instead of United doing that, it was Wolverhampton making sure we were fooled around like little children.
BUT, "Saint" David De Gea said ¡NO! to his opponents, and managed to pull off 2 outstanding saves in the 66th minute, denying any hope and chance for Wolves to win. And this was basically, in my opinion, the turning point of the game.
United used this in their favor to attack (why weren't they doing that since the start, the bloody red bastards!!!) and put the pressure on Wolves. And finally, the young Greenwood scored the only goal of the game, giving United the win and the 3 points, and boosting them to 3rd place, begin West Ham and Spurs.
Ronnie, just retire at this point lad. We're shite, despite the win.
STANDINGS
I stand corrected! This is my FIFA 08 Manager Mode save happening in real life. Arsenal are basically destined to end up in The Championship.
I'd end things here, but actually, something huge happened this week. And I mean, HUGELY HUGE! As it is still the transfer season, players still get to move left and right up until August 31st. This window period, we were all shocked when the Argentinian beast, a.k.a. Lionel Messi, moved from Barcelona to PSG, for free, because Barcelona basically have fucked themselves over. And we all thought that was it, but NOPE!
Fast forward to this week, Manchester United and Juventus dropped the bomb. And that was... CR7 BACK AT OLD TRAFFORD!!!! Yep, Ronnie came back to the place where he became a monster. How did this all happen? We have to thank Manchester City for this, as their failed attempt to get Spurs star, Harry Kane, they shifted focus on Cristiano. Many, including myself, saw this as both scary and sad, since Ronaldo might pull off a Carlos Tevez on us and play for the rivals. Additional note: while I was upset, I wasn't FULLY upset, since I accepted him leaving us 12 or so years ago.
And then, something happened. Something not even God Himself could know. And you all know what I mean.
Manchester United (or in this case, Sir Alex Ferguson, probably doing his magic) just cock blocked City and got the Portuguese monster for themselves. And for a good price, too! £19 million pounds. And while he didn't start for the Wolves game, he might be ready for Matchweek 4, which will happen in 2 weeks, since this week, it's going to be the "Nationals Week". Expecting mediocre news from this to be fair.
Fans are over the moon with this one. Everyone agrees: Best thing to happen since Fergie left.
This will wrap up Matchweek 3 folks! Mediocre madness is what I'd call it, since the only good things were the annihilation of Arsenal FC, and the whole "Cristiano Ronaldo transfer" episode. As mentioned before, next week will be "Nationals Week", meaning I won't be posting anything football related for a while. A deserved break to be sure. Might conclude a story or something in the mean time.
See you in a fortnight
Lord Slayer...
