Love for Premier League

Last night, after 45 minutes Arsenal was down by 2 goals and Abou Diaby was sent off against home side, Bolton Wanderers. Everyone thought, "Yea, that's it. Arsenal title dream is over." Obviously, no one would even dare to think that Arsenal got a chance to fight back in that match.





45 minutes later, Arsenal won 3-2. Celebrated like they've won the title





What can I say? Witnessing the red card, the 2nd goal scored by Matt Taylor for Bolton and then the turnaround made by a 10man Arsenal side. No script can be written as perfect as this one.

Yes, it was an absolutely thrilling match. A sore eye for Man Utd fans such as me. Told my brother about what happened in that match, being a semi-pro football gambler, he can't help but tell me it was most probably match-fixed by big-time bookies. Well, I kinda agree with him but we can't say that it was match fixed because we've got nothing to prove and we do not need to prove it.

In fact I hope it's not match fixed because these are the kind of matches that attracts football fans around the world to watch the Premier League. Thrilling, amazing fight back, soaking in heavy rain,being 2-0 down by halftime, down to 10 man, score in the 90th minute to win the match. What more you could possibly ask from a football match?

As I said before, this is the part of a game that ruined anyone's interest in International matches. Don't you love the Premier League?
