Arsenal Replay

I had the pleasure of being in the crowd for the Arsenal replay. My amazing girlfriend managed to get tickets for us. Elland Road was absolutely packed and had a great atmosphere. Yeah, it's a shame we lost but Arsenal were the better side and played a lot better than they did at the Emirates. Leeds didn't get going quick enough and were quickly 2-0 down courtesy of Samir Nasri and Bacary Sagna. It would have been 3 if it wasn't for a good save by Kasper Schmeichel. Bradley Johnson got one back with a great long-range shot in the top corner past Arsenal goalie Szczęsny, not too dissimilar to the one in the video I posted in November. Just as there was hope that Leeds would equalise, Robin Van Persie came on and scored a third so it finished 3-1 but it was a gallant effort by Leeds. The fans were chanting throughout the 90 minutes including such gems as 'You have Cesc Fabregas, We have Rob Snodgrass' and 'Are you Walcott in disguise?' when an Arsenal player was judged to have fallen over too easily. There were a few suspect ref decisions but however annoying they were it didn't change the outcome of the match. The amount of support was amazing and these two games showed that Leeds wouldn't be out of the place in the Premiership. Hopefully our good league form continues after thrashing Scunthorpe 4-0.Here are some photos from the night.
