The kiddos displayed grit and some skill in turning back Blackburn Tuesday to win 3-2 in overtime. Eduardo dealt the brace and scored a cracker of a goal in OT to secure the victory after the boys squandered a 2-0 first half lead.
The win puts the youngsters through to the semis where they face neighbors Tottenham in a home and away series.
Speaking of the Spurts, they visit Emirates Saturday in the second North London Derby of the year; the first, being a 3-1 smash and grab win for the Gunners at Pale Hart Lane. A win would see Arsenal remain tops of the table.
While the thrilling horse race between Arsenal and Manchester United has captivate football fans, out-of-favor Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann is understandably focused on more important matters: himself.
Sayeth Der Lemon:
Lehmann said he did not like having to watch someone playing "who does not have my class."
"It's
very frustrating. When I see the performances on the field, I get angry
and I have to clench my fist in my pocket," Lehmann was quoted as
saying.
Frustrating? Now he should understand how Arsenal fans have been feeling about him. He refuses to learn the one basic lesson about team sports, it's about the team. Calling out your teammates in a classless way like this is not a stout argument for playing time. Instead its a cry for a bus ticket out of town.
