Arsenal vs Manchester City - Highbury, London - Tuesday 4th January 2005

Another 3 points at Highbury, except this time, 2 of them were stolen by that irritting little bastard called Shaun Wright-Phillips. His father is supposed to be an Arsenal legend, and the son's destiny is surely to play for us one day. With that in mind, 25-yard screamers in front of the North Bank against Arsenal are not the way to go about ingratiating yourself!!

To be fair, Man City were one of the better sies to have played at Highbury this season, they were well organised, dangerous on the break, and capitalised on any slacking off that the Arsenal team indulged in. Which, when we took the lead, we inevitably started to do. City probably expected this, and were perfectly organised to take advantage, In fact, they came through so strongly in the last 25 minutes that Arsenal seemed to be caught entirely by surprise, and against a weaker team, City could well have won the game.

All in all, a draw a fair result, a great goal in the game, just a shame that it came from Shaun Wright Phillips. Arsene, sign him up to stop it happening again!!
