Let’s Talk About Staying Humble; An Arsenal v Man City Dig

February 02, 2025

Arsenal 5 - 1 Man City , January 2025
What what what…did you just watch that Arsenal Man U game? 
 
More reason why I need to be in Europe because I would have loved to watch that game in real life…and shout ‘who needs to stay humble’ at the end.  

If you do not watch Premier League, let me catch you up - at the end of last season I blogged about us losing the Premier League by a 2 point difference against Man City. This loss meant that all eyes would be on that first meeting of the season.  The game happened in September and ended in a draw. At the end of the game, Haaland, Man City's 'star guy', told Arteta, Arsenal's manager to be humble.

I do not want to be superstitious or anything, buuuut from that day Man City's game has not been the best...it is only last week I mention I started talking about their comeback (they are No.4 or 5). There is no point to this post, I just wanted to record this moment for posterity. 
First Goal in less than 2 minutes - January 2025
From the first goal less than two minutes to a second half where Arsenal 'underdogs' bagged four goals - against the 'greatest team'...talk of humility 101...shout out to Lewis Kelly and Nwaneri. My only regret is that I watched the game from home instead of Downtown Lancaster - I know the celebrations were on another level.  I leave you with scenes from the game.
Man City thought they were on the come back after their score just after half time - January 2025

Timber did his thing - January 2025

Then Lewis Kelly got his first Premier League goal (and imitated Halaad with this buddha moment) - January 2025

Havertz who had missed a perfect shot in the first half , got an opportunity to reclaim himself - January 2025

Theeeen 17 year old Nwaneri sealed the deal with his first Premier League goal, January 2025

I can only imagine all the things going through Man City's Manager mind - January 2025
If it is any consolation to Man City, at least it was not as bad as the Nottingham Forest 7-0 Brighton defeat, or the bar in the UK that decided to give a free beer for each goal Nottingham scored, and ended up giving out 300 free beers...who is in charge of their risk management?

May February be kind to you.

Sending love and light,
