No this is not a plug for the comedy show " Some Mothers Do Av Em "
For those of you that don't have a clue what I'm talking about there was a programme on TV called " Some mothers do av em ".It was about a family man Frank Spencer played by Michael Crawford who was the most accident prone walking disaster. Yes, I can hear you all saying " a bit like Arsenal's defence at times and I would have to agree with you.
Fortunately the last week or so and to the relief of us all it is beginning to look like the team has turned the corner and I'm feeling really positive again.
The game against WBA started slowly and I felt the players looked a bit sluggish but they soon livened up Theo's shot on goal that came back out for RVP to score got the ball rolling so to speak.
The second goal was a beautiful lay off from RVP for Vermaelen to blast one home.
The second half was completely dominated by Arsenal, although even after RVP layed another ball back to Arteta who scored the third goal ,Pat Rice was on the touchline really shouting not wanting the team to lose focus. You can understand his anxiety from past games but the team kept going right to the end and a very pleasing result indeed.
The players are looking so much more confident, the energy and the atmosphere is changing and, we all have a part to play in that, don't ever underestimate how important supporters are at games. It DOES make a difference to the players and the manager to hear our support.
We now have the Interlude for International games and we are all holding our breath waiting for news of players and their safe return unscathed.
The next premier league game is away to Norwich on Saturday 19th November 12.45 pm kick off on SS2.
As Frank Spencer would say "Ooh Betty "
