And the winner of round two is Liverpool
These are my exact thoughts on the game, put onto paper, or in this case a webpage.
The Carling cup - the least important of all the trophies that the league has to offer.
Two teams 14 points away from each other in terms of their league positions with Liverpool coming at this with a vengeance of the 3 – 0 defeat handed to them by Manchester City, a few weeks ago.
A great battle but the gun(ners) didn’t fire.
It was the battle of the top two profit making firms in UAE. The clash of the rich aviation based sponsors. A game that I had been looking forward to; with a certain level of anxiety. Arsenal V/s Manchester City was supposed to have an entertaining side to it. And indeed it did. So many special talents, so many spectacular athletes on show in the, less than, freezing temperatures at the Etihad stadium.
This was a pivotal game for both the teams, with Arsenal coming into it with the confidence and the strong belief of a team that was unbeaten in its last eight games. And Manchester City, with the hunger to undo the outcome of last week’s performance against Chelsea.
