Drink Up The Cider!
Sep 16th, 2010 by 'holic
Well, when in Somerset, how else to celebrate? I have just, having managed to avoid all mention of the match, caught up with the events of last night courtesy of ATVo. Thank you Arsenal.
You will all have seen it long before I, so the details of who scored when and how I don’t have to repeat. Only one dampener for me. Did Arsene not know my pound was on Arshavin when he foolishly allowed Cesc to take the penalty that opened the floodgates?
I am trying to relate the timings to what I was doing at the time. That penalty coincided with a very tasty starter of Asparagus spears wrapped in Parma ham served with sun-dried tomato. Little did I know as I raised a glass of powerful Merlot to my lips that I was celebrating the start of a quite awesome performance.
When Arsh grabbed what should have counted as the opening goal (I’ll get my pound back William Hill!) and the brilliant Chamakh struck for 3-0 I had moved onto a haunch of venison, and let me tell you this venison had a very tender haunch! Cesc’s second was accompanied by a truly outstanding sponge creation with apple and apricot and an artery-furring tennis ball sized dollop of double cream.
I would love to say I wasΒ washing that lot down with something small, powerful, and Mexican by the time Carlito grabbed his brace, but I was into the Glenmorangie with a vengeance. Now, however well I may have felt after all that fine dining, it just pales into insignificance compared to how I feel now.
A hearty breakfast consumed, I have watched in awe that performance and some things have to be said. True, if we go and lose at Sunderland on Saturday the performance last night will count for very little, but I just don’t see that happening. Don’t tell me Braga were poor, because I will insist that they were made to look poor by one of the finest demonstrations of fluid pass and move football I have ever had the pleasure to witness, and in the Wenger years there have been many.
I was mesmerised at times by the intricate exchanges by just about the whole side all over the pitch. To single out anyone would be wrong. Fabregas, Nasri, Wilshere, and Arshavin just make the ball talk, and then there is Chamakh. The Moroccan is quite simply the player we have been missing these last three years, and his value was underlined when he was substituted after an hour or so to ensure his availability for the harder battles to come.
So it a very happy ‘holic who is off on a cheese hunt in the Cheddar Gorge today. Have a good one yourselves, people. Back with a brief Mackem preview tomorrow.

1st drink?
Damn Nick, you beat me to it!
Wilshere was outstanding last night. Kept his positional discipline, played some good passes, cheeky back heel for Chamakhs goal. Really was an example to the rest of the academy youngsters.
Pint of the black stuff barman!
Cider, merlot, coffee and cream please, and happy cheese hunting barman!
How could Braga have looked good without the ball ‘Holic? π
Don’t mind the hacks we are good!
It’s just the begining!
The best part for me was when at 1up we broke up a braga attack just inside our half and then launched into an attack of our own –
This lead to 6 Arsenal players converging on a totally bemused Braga back 4 it was simply like watching a Red Arrows display the pace and movement was awe inspiring !!!
Well i will put my prediction in early as im on an early flight to spain for a stag do tomorrow, We seem to have built a nice momentum and i cannot see that stopping on sat night so i will go for a hard fought 2-1 to the Arse, Ill celebrate with a sambucca or two !!!!
Can only agree with you Holic. It was a fabulous team performance. What has caught my attention so far this season is a better work ethic and – for the first time in a while – a real unity not just in the team, but in the squad. You can really see how Arsene wants to rotate things around this year and how he now has the personnel to do that.
Morning gentlemen,
I have 3 tkts for sunderland game on sat and wondering if you know any1
interested? Would like to sell all 3 at once if poss (at Β£34 face value)
and preferably to sum1 in north london so i can drop off meself! (dont ask much
do i?!)
know its a long shot but any help much appreciated

Agree with you ‘holic when you said Braga weren’t poor. When I watched the game the 2nd time late at night, it became clear that Braga had a plan and stuck to it till the end. If it wasn’t for our fluid movement and passing made them look poor. The performance was just mesmerizing and even after 12 hours, I’m still buzzing…
Oh, ‘Holic, you’re making me feel hungry – for some of that lovely grub AND for more of that sumptuous stuff that Arsenal served up last night. Can’t add a sausage to the platter you served. Not a crumb.
But as an after dinner liquor, I’d pour some compliments in the direction of those at the back. Ok, they weren’t exactly swamped by Braga, but there were occasions when an away goal would might have unsettled Arsenal. Everyone looked solid, Almunia had a couple of saves that will help to calm troubled nerves and build confidence.
Koscielny is building my admiration match by match and with Squillaci in town, Gallas can enjoy his lower salary in the potato patch without his absence causing any concern at the Grove. (Nice feeling to have these two with Vermaelen and Djourou sitting in the wings.)
Quite telling I thought that Neutron Jack started ahead of a now fully fit (?) Denilson. Jack’s emergence, and he was superb last night, will be a shot in the arm for Arsene in that it should stimulate real competition for those mid-field berths – and, of-course, there is a helping of Welsh rarebit coming up shortly for afters in the form of a Ramsey return.
Magic. May I join you in the Glenmorangie please.
And of-course, enjoy the break. But don’t gorge yourself on cheddar. We need you full fit, with your A game ready for Sunderland duty at the weekend.
Excellent write up Holic!
Great win, great performance what else could ask for eh? It’s just a small reminder of why I have fallen in love with Arsenal! Braga are no fools for sure we were simpy SUPERB on the night.
Barman a pint of the black stuff please!
Yeah, lets go for it!
Lets say once and for all that the transition is over, this is a mighty fine engine we have nutured, we’ve just bolted on some ABS (squillachy) and added some turbo (Chamakh) and the wheels are rolling!!!
still on coffee surprisingly π
Sounds like a mighty fine meal you enjoyed last night ‘holic!! Yes indeed, watching Arsenal last night was a quality meal of another kind.
It’s been a good number of years since I’ve felt so comfortably good about our team, particularly in defence. And up front, we now have a more killer instinct with the addition of the invaluable (actually he cost us peanuts) Chamakh. The more his reputation grows, the more striking opportunities it will introduce for others (already we can see that happening with the likes of Arshavin). And the fella hasn’t even adapted to the premiership fully yet.
Enjoy your stay down yonder…..
But in the meantime, a pint of San Miguel and a packet of cashews please barman.
what a game im still buzzing…… especially shouting united 0 rangers 0 every time i pass him! and my dad too…..never a better feeling they have had leverage over me for too long sir. its our time now!
Great blog, h.
Top blog with some top grubbing too, ‘Holic.
All that remains now is for us to go through the season unbeaten and win the quadruple.
A bottle of Crabbies with some ice please, I’m at work and the boss doesn’t know it is alcoholic yet π
Hope we dont drop points on Saturday.. They’ve been a thorn in the flesh for sometime now.
I enjoyed last night’s game & loved the way the team played, “Football the way it is meant to be played.”
Jack and Cesc both played brilliantly, I think Jack can be the spaniards successor (touch-wood !)….he played really well yesterday. Chamakh looks in good form, this may be our year (touch-wood)….

Cheers,
DKD
Nice write-up, chef ‘holic.
Now if you haven’t finished that Glenmorangie, I’ll have a dram please.
“… and then there is Chamakh. The Moroccan is quite simply the player we have been missing these last three years,…”
Definitely agree with that, I think he is the perfect mixture of Eduardo (good movement and touch to link play) and Bendtner (lone striker, good in the air) but individually better than both. So two players for the price of one gives us the ability for different/additional options in midgield.
Great stuff holic. Sounds like a good meal tha you had as well.
I completely agree on all fronts. I just have to say that Chamakh is really impressing me. He is everywhere on the pitch and works his ass off. He may not have the flair of VP or Arshavin, but boy does he work hard and for the most part makes great decisions on and off the ball.
Nasri looked like he had a bit of rust to shake off but he got better as the game went on.
The best part about this whole match to me is the performance of Carlos. Sure he came in after the match was settled, but the man just seems hungry for the back of the net. I think he’s proving that he might just be a viable option up front. He takes advantage of the opportunities that are presented to him and you can’t ask for much more than that.
Water for now as I’m still recovering from one too many pints last night.

Fat Sam has been at it again yet anothet Hansen π
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/blackburn_rovers/9005631.stm
We win a Champions League match 6-0 and The Holic is complaining about the wrong guy scoring the first goal. Actually, if that’s the biggest problem we have, I say, Holic, waste them quid!
Good afternoon gents
Overdue thanks from me to Snir G & Chippy for your kind words/welcomes on the previous ‘Holic post.
ATG – Well done mate, how could anyone possibly top Sam A for “Hansen of the week”?
I believe we have a very worthy winner!
After yetserday’s romance at The Grove, all thoughts now turn to that stripey lot from the North East. At least their manager shows decent respect for our Arsene.
Wasn’t it ‘Holic that coined the phrase “Win The Next Match” during the final stages of our previous EPL campaign? Wise words mate and it’s just as relevant now.
A very small vodka, an ice-cool bottle of Dos Equis, a spicy Sangria and a cous-cous dip on the side in deference to our heroic goal scorers if you would please barman! π
Just goes to show that Wenger hasn’t lost his ability to unearth and sign the talent we need – the only one of the three new boys I’d heard of was Chamakh but they’re all demonstrating their class. Just think what they’ll be like after Christmas and next season when they’ve had time to settle in. Wilshere was magic but we mustn’t put too much pressure on him, my congrats to the academy and youth system.
I loved the way they were pressing from the front – a la Ba#ca. Now they just need to keep doing that through the year… and everything is possible.
Saw Verminator touted today as a possible stand-in for Song when needed. Intriguing idea…..The cold cold eyes!
Cheeky pint please, the last patient’s English, so he won’t mind.
@ ATG # 23
I read the link, I wish I hadn’t. He’s just not worth it. He comes across as horrible, jealous, Jabba the Hut type of character doesn’t he?
Anyway, we have far, far bigger fish to fry now and much better things to occupy our minds.
I’ll lift a pint to Catalan Gunner and his English patient. Drink on mate!
Back from a day of touring. Preparing for dinner again. Not expecting the heart to survive this little trip!
Hope you are all well, holics.
G’day ‘Holic! Life’s tough at the top isn’t it?
A six-pack of Benecols for you I think? π
Have a(nother) great meal and safe travels.
Bt8bbnn.@29 ..
Cheers mate – clinic finished, cold beer half full. How you doing Trev? Still slaving away?
@ 23 & 28
The walrus is not fit to tie Wenger’s boot laces (both literally and figuratively…ha haa). He knows that.
So what does he do? He attempts to garner a few publicity brownie points via the meeja by hanging onto his shirt tails.
The man is joke. As you infer True Storey, best worth ignoring.
NB….I’m hearing Verm won’t be fit for Saturday so Squelchy and Kos to do their stand-in pairing again it would seem?
Look forward to you rolling back into the pub come the weekend ‘holic….after all that fine food.
π
@ don #33
From what I saw last night don, we’re in fine shape relying on the services of Kos + Squelchy. In fact – and here’s a controversial point open for anyone who wants to debate it – TV might just struggle to get back in the side the way those two are playing together.
There, I said it. Don’t shoot me, I think Vermy is an outstanding player for us. It’s just an indicator of the embarrassment of riches that is our current squad…. in nearly every position π
A very tasty little read ‘holic.
What a performance last night, we were breathtaking to watch.
I had a sports packet installed in the bar last week, one of the channels is Sport1, a dutch equivilant of Sky, which shows all PL and CL games.
Pre-match on channel1 (of 6) was a show with Willem van Hanegem and Marco van Basten as pundits, who had a very high opinion of our beloved gunners, when poised the question who they would rather watch, Arsenal or the Chav’s they both emphatically answered, the gunners are the best team to watch in the PL.
15 minutes before kick off I switched to CH4 where the Arsenal game was being shown, to my surprise the camera’s were already at the Grove and the warm ups and noise from the stadium was being broadcasted, with no commentary, this continued right up to the kick off. When the game started there was Dutch comentary, but the guy hardly said anything, it was almost like being there, when he did speak he was waxing lyrical about the gunners style, no snidy remarks, only praise, it really was quite surreal.
During half time, no know it all pundits, only highlights of the half, every worthy action and goal being shown from every concievable angle followed by shots of the manager and crowd. A truly enjoyable experience. (apologies if you have this with your cable/sat tv, I’ve never had a sports packet before)
All in all a great night, I really didn’t expect us to win so easily, believe me, Braga are no mugs, but it was obvious from the start that the boys meant business. Cesc is well and truly back and all the young lads and new boys slotted in well. If we can bring the same energy and attitude to Sunderland this weekend then I think that Steve Bruce’s boys are in for the shock of their lives.
Come on you Gunners!!
Cider please sir.
Cheers.
@ True Storey 34
I suspect you might have just performed the philosophical equivalent to going for a jimmy for the first time after having a skin-ful……once you start it’s difficult to stop.
I’ll admit I have been secretly harbouring the [same] thought, i.e., that judged on their performances so far, both Kos and Squelchy, have more than earned their calling.
Sure, I feel slightly uncomfortable in even daring to hold on to such a thought…..but this is what we Gooners have been waiting for, for years, for goodness sakes. An ’embarrassment of riches’ as you say. More to the point, perhaps we should be positively welcoming this current situation!?
Bring it on π
H2H @ 35 – your description of that sports channel sounds like heaven when you consider the drivel we have to listen to in this country – especially from twonks like Townsend and Keys (2 of the sinners last night) and don’t get me started on Tyldesley.
Pint of bitter barman please and a Grolsch for my “Dutch” friend.
Very good evening Holic & Holic`s
What a warm fuzzy feeling I get when I have just watched a fantastic performance like that, a stunning all round showing from the whole team.
Captain fantastic was pulling the strings as only he knows how too, should of had a hat trick at least as well as a hat full of assits. OUT OF THIS WORLD.
This was the team that knocked out Celtic and Sevilla with ease ! Welcome to the champions league and may you never have to face a team of our quality again for your own sanity.
Could I please say what a outstanding performance from the youngest player on the field Mr Wilshere. He was every where and linked up the play as well as being a willing runner for 90 mins and willing to track back and not sherk his defencive duties. Well done Jack.
Hard to say anything about or defencive pairing as they had little to do but did what they had to do they done very well.
What can you say, nothing ! It was just a unbelievable display.
Just line them up please barman
@True Storey 34 and Don 36
Arsene said he will rotate players more this season so instead of having the same back 2 all season (bar injuries) we will likely see different pairings against different oppositions. The last few seasons have taught us that we need a deep squad to win silverware because of the abysmal number of injuries that plague us so rotating players will ensure everyone is match fit and ready to play at any time and hopefully it will lead to less injuries too.
There are only 11 (well 14) players playing in a game and we have so many deserving players this season without even counting the promising youths (Jet, Eastmond, Afobe, Nordveit etc), we know some players will be unhappy to be left on the bench and eventually will leave (like Merida). We already are a selling club because of this βembarrassment of richesβ, it’s the most telling sign we are on our way to the top.
On another note Tim Vickery wrote a top post echoing the feelings of all of us who are too far away to attend games.

TS @ 34
I bought the verminator T shirt off Arseblog earlier today, and blogged then that I hoped TV got his place back.
You’re not alone π in thinking that way
Completely agree. But Parma Ham with Merlot? No, no no!
Haha Leo, you’re right of course, but the rich red was to accompany the gamey venison. It just turned up early π
I’d like to propose Charlie Wyett, writer for the Sun ‘newspaper’, for a ‘Hansen Breath’ award, having just read his write up I believe he talks, well, y’know π
Holic, thank you, for creating this blog, thank you.
I just can’t stop watching it over and over again.
I know I’ve been saying it all summer but I believe it now more than ever – We are the best team in the EPL, the deepest squad in the EPL as well.
Just to think about our injuries and to see us play like that makes me the happiest man alive.
TV5, Diaby, Ramsey, Frimpong, Van Persie, Bendtner, Walcott – That team can beat any team in the EPL alone!
Last year saw us playing like headless chickens against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light because we didn’t have a target man and had to cope with the awful idea of AA up front.
How did Arsene put it? Better equipped? He’s damn right we are, Chamakh has been the player we’ve been missing since Titi left.
He’s just an asset to the team, and like said above, when his reputation grows and the marking will get tighter it will leave the others to have great opportunities to score. What an acquisition, he’s the missing piece of the puzzle.
A word on Kos and Squillaci – Almunia’s form.
Almunia has been excellent and I can’t help but think it has to do with the confidence he feels from his center backs’ play. No more slow, stupid Gallas, real players now at the back.
And one last thing, Jack’s awesome, but it just makes me feel better that people think he’s Cesc’s successor because it means he grew a whole lot, and if he’s that good, imagine what Aaron will be.
I honestly think that Aaron will have a legendary career.
Funny thing is, they’re only 23. Think about it, a midfield of Song, Jack, Aaron. It can be our midfield for years, they’re 23,18,19 and they’re still better than most players in the EPL as of now.
The potential in this team is scary.
Evening Holic and Holics,
There is no doubt that Chamakh was the missing link we’ve all been waiting for, for Cesc’s second goal he took the defender with him allowing a free header. Clever stuff and that’s how it should be, Sunderland will be a different cup of tea altogether but I think we have enough quality and depth to bring home maximum points.
A pint of Staropramen please barman and a packet of McCoys Grilled Steak flavour
@ don #36 – Well put sir! It is indeed the situation we’ve all been craving. We remain in AW’s debt for the great work that he continues to do for The Arsenal, regardless of the endless stream of cr*p that he has to put up with from the know-it-alls. Don’t get me wrong, I see his flaws too but in I also believe that it’s fair to consider that his contract renewal was as one of our best signings this season.
@ Matt #39 – Yes, thanks for pointing that out. Being in a position to rotate a squad of our class gives us an excellent chance of fighting for silverware on all fronts.
@ Mark the Spark #s 40 & 43 – I saw that TV T-shirt this morning, made me smile. We all know that “he’ll be back” (groan, sorry!). Apologies also, I only intended “Hansen of the Week” to be eligible for species at the top of the food chain. Does a Sun hack really qualify? Your call matey…. π
Barman, please serve these three fine fellows whatever they are drinking, thanks.
http://blog.emiratesstadium.info/archives/7811
A bit of optimism can’t do any harm, can it :)?
@ ATG#45
Good evening Arthur. That was the phrase I was looking for to describe those Sun hacks – “the missing link”.
Just the ticket, thanks again!
Barman? Please make sure that pint of Star is ice cold and those crsips are super fresh, ta! π
True Storey
Any time my man π
Great comments guys. I concur with all. Time for me to retire.
I have a wedding to attend on Saturday with Mrs don & kids. Am already planning my disappearance from the general proceedings in an attempt to watch the game.
It’s a dirty job but someone has to do it π
Goodnight all ~ keep on believing!
@ Snir G #47
Yes, a well written piece, good spot!
With the back 4 options we have now and the way he is currently playing he is a good enough keeper. Long may that situation continue.
My only concern is that he’s the only one in our squad without genuine competition for his position today. So, I still think that might be an area that Arsene will re-visit in Janaury. No point fretting on that now, we seem to be just fine at the moment.
What are you drinking? π
@ don #50
Good luck with that one don! AOTV to the rescue on Sunday and a tranny with a discrete earpiece on Saturday?
(No, not that kind of tranny! heh!)
And if any of you very fine gents are fretting about our GK, who remembers Geoff Barnett stepping in for the great Bob Wilson when he had his cartilage operation? We’ve never had it so good! π
Barman, I need a reviving brandy afetr that memory from hell please.
A very good night to all of you and yours.
Nice to see such a happy pub today….where have all the August doom merchants gone? Just waiting in the weeds?
Arsene Knows ~
Hey there, can anyone in the UK take a look at this and tell me if Cesc looks weird/sulking?
http://www.itv.com/sport/football/championsleague/news/fabregasonbragarout/
This is because of this weird and uncalled for piece –
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Cesc-Fabregas-had-a-face-like-thunder-after-Arsenal-s-Champions-League-clash-with-Braga-even-though-the-Gunners-won-6-0-article581605.html
I’m with you Snir, not sure how you can put on a performance like Cesc did and be accused of sulking. Just do what I do, ignore anything that has to do with the Mirror, ITV, TalkSport, and the rest of the media.
‘holic I’ll take some of that good West Country food and H2H’s TV package to help with my rehab. The radiologist says I broke 3 ribs in said bike accident so I’ll take some of your suggestions in the spirits field too. I have a feeling Ill be needing them to toast a few more Arsenal victories in near future, not only as rehab aid!
Snir
Typical English media, they will pick on anything just to make a story, what a bunch of Hansen’s π
I saw this interview straight after the game, to me he felt a little bit uncomfortable speaking about all that happened during the summer. He was fine when speaking about the game but as soon as the ITV man asked him about the Barca shyte that went around you could tell he didn’t want to talk about it and rightly so.
behind the 8 ball but not nasri
Sounds like a good plan my man but I think those ribs of yours will probably take 4 tmes longer to heal π
@ 55 snir
My understanding is that Cesc’s subdue’d expression on pitch is due to feeling humbled by the Arsenal fans forgiveness of the summer fiasco.
His resolve is to play out of his skin to pay them all back.
No fuss, no nonsense, silverware it is.
Celebrations to follow once achieved. π
“And so say all of us”
@ 51 TS
The sooner Fabianski goes out on loan the better we’ll all breathe.
Manone as back up is, for me anyway, a better option.
He did all right last year until making just a couple of silly mistakes. He’ll never improve unless put under the magnifying glass a bit more often.
Unlike fabianski, who’ll never improve.
Full stop.
@ 47 snir
Tony’s page often throws up some interesting articles.
This is one of them.
I say yes with manny, no with lucasz, quite possibly with vito.
I have a serious question.
Sczezsny or whatever wasn’t loaned but also not playing at the moment with the reserves.
Can’t he be our number 2?
TS, Mark the Spark – You’re like 2 new signings :)…
Whatever you’re drinking – on me.
I was posting last year snir?
Something else i’ve noticed though… Peter Storey has a book out, launched today… called ‘True Storey’.
Coincidence? π
Whatever… all are welcome.
Coffee with a bacon roll please π
Good morning to all – as we look ahead to tomorrows game!!
@ 58 ATG.
Spot on my friend.
We all saw Cesc’s expressiveness and his desire when scoring his goals. He is a consumate professional with a mental attitude well ahead of his years (take notes neutron Jack!!). If there was any ‘disappointment’ (which we should not hide away from the fact there DOES seem to be), it was, as you say, (1) because of not achieving his personal goal of a hattrick and (b) the aftermath of ‘Barcelona-gate’ and the constant barrage of answering the same old questions from the meeja.
An early morning orange and pineapple juice please barman π
@63 Snir
Szczesny (yes, I did cut and paste that) played for the reserves on Tuesday. Admittedly it was his season’s debut for them.
@60 Mark the spark
Again I agree mate
*thumbs up* π
NB. I have no thoughts on the goalkeeping situation other than I think Sczecny (sp??) should be given a shot over Fab.
Yeeeaaaaasssssssss.
Come on Arsenal. Oh my head.
MTS – My mistake – I don’t know how by I don’t seem to remember your name, and I usually remember all the regulars here, you know how it is, it’s our beloved Holic’ pub, the weekdays mostly contain the regulars :).
Forgive me for that with a toast for your presence ?
BT8BBBN… I’d prescribe a quick chupito of Tequila, and then another one to check on the first one and make sure it got to the ribs.
Take regularly to dull pain when cheering Arsenal goals.
No sneezing now……..
Snir, – I was on Mojitos towards the end of the season, so it might be time for the buoyant feelings that one of these provokes, I thank you!
Holic produced the “Keep Calm and Carry on” WWII poster on my behalf (following the brum away disaster), as a memory jogger?
Hmmm, yes, brum away. I went to that and was jaw dropped mouth open at the shameless bias that a certain Howard Webb showed. To think he got the WC final after that just shows the rub yours rub mine mentality we also have to overcome.
Another candidate for a Hansen award. π
BT8BBN – remedy for your broken ribs: If you haven’t already…
1. Buy yourself an Ipod
2. Download all the back catagolue of Up for Grabs podcast
3. Listen intently
4. Split your sides laughing…..
Or maybe not….. π
Sorry to hear about your predicament – Get well soon my friend.
ATG, Catalan, zicoinexile and all, Thanks for your rehab tips and good humoured well-wishing. I’ll be following the arse and trying out some of your remedies (perhaps all!).
bt8bbnn, get well soon.
Zico, I’ve been stream hunting for years and was mostly appalled by the sub standard commentry on some of the english speaking channels, it got on my erves so much that I mostly watched with the sound turned off.
I can’t wait ’til Saturday’s game, I’ll let ya know if the coverage is as good as it was Wednesday or if it was just my lucky day.
Line up a few shots on the bar please ‘holic sir, all are welcome to join.
Cheers.
