West Ham vs. Arsenal

2-2, Premier League, Upton Park, 25/10 -09
van Persie 16,
Gallas 37

I'm a bit disappointed right now, since we were 2-0 up and didn't seem to look back, but i think that the referee didn't make many right decisions this game!!
In a while though I know that the disappointment will disappear since a draw away against the Hammers aint bad and we advanced to 3rd place, passing Tottenham!
While mentioning it, next game is going to be a fiery one! North London Derby at Emirates, I began thinking about the game last week, as soon as it crossed my mind, and that happened quite many times I can tell you!

Anyway, back to the game, West Ham did things well, we didn't come to the point where we score 6 goals or something (obviously..), but we fought well and got our two goals, the first one came when Sagna produced a good cross for Robin, and Robert Green got a touch to it, which only made the ball fall right on the foot of van Persie, and you really can't make a mistake in that position!!
With about 5 minutes to go Gallas made it two after some great work in the box! We had a corner and Gallas somehow managed to zigzag through the box and headed it home!

In the second half things looked pretty much the same, Fabregas got awfully close with a long range effort, but it was a quite even, and then West Ham made some changes and got some new energy in, and when they had a freekick a metre or two outside our box, Diamanti had a great shot that Mannone saved but he couldn't keep it in his hands so Carlton Cole could put it in the net.
Ten minutes after that the same man got a cheap freekick and Diamanti (diamant means diamond in Swedish) took the penalty with force.
After that we had some great chances, but I belivie that Eduardo should have come in earlier than in the 88th minute or something...

After all it was a pretty fair result considering the way that West Ham fought for the point, and we could be second at the moment, since united only are 3 points ahead with one more played game, and we have a much better goal difference.
