Nevertheless, dad's words echoed in my mind this morning as I sat through the last dozen minutes of normal game time & the half hour of extra time of the Arsenal-Bolton Wanderers replay match at the Reebok Stadium. During that period, the Gunners blazed a clear goal bound shot (to be fair, it hit the post) & yet another penalty in extra time. Arsenal was leading most of the 2nd half of the match, thanks to Adebayor scoring the Gunners. Then, ever poor at defending set pieces (& somewhat similarly woeful at taking corners), Bolton scored the equaliser to push the game into extra time. Had a dreadful feeling that Gooners everywhere will once again see our supposedly bogey team beat us.

I left for work after the 3rd goal & arrived in the office a bit later today, but had a satisfactory grin on my face.
Till later, live long & prosper.
P.S.: Jens Lehmann (since Almunia gets the Carling Cup run & some FA Cup matches) , Thierry Henry & Cesc Fabregas were rested for this match.
