TIME FOR REVENGE
Remember this time last year? We were still chasing for the title, we scored in the 108th minute(!!!) and with the last attack of the game, Liverpool get one of the most undeserved of penalties after Dirk Kuyt dived in the most theatrical way possible. That incident ended the career of Emmanuel Eboue at Arsenal and he has left to foreign shores since.
Recap to the previous meeting this season and a depleted Arsenal were manfully going for it and giving the supposed title challengers a game when Frimpong got sent off, then Liverpool scored via an own goal and an offside goal.
It's clear we have some unfinished business to take care of.
And now, with the same Liverpool side grappling frantically as they vie for a Champions League spot(they are 7 points adrift of us in 4th place, though they have a game in hand against their rivals Everton), we have the chance to dump them off for good. It won't be easy. Liverpool will probably set themselves up to play counter attack(even at home). But if we show the same kind of spirit, determination and chance-takeability(!!) as we showed against Spurs last week, we'll be in a great position to grab three precious points today.
