Arsenal Football Club: Double Champions 2001/2002

(1/7) > >>

KVB:
As y'all know, Arsenal won The Double in England (Premiership & FA Cup) by defeating Manchester United at their home ground yesterday... a tremendous acheivement which will go down in football history... Arsenal dominated the game from start to finish and didn't allow Man United a single shot on goal... The Gunners' decider came in the 57th minute when Sylvian Wiltord slotted home a Barthez rebound from a Ljungberg shot inside the box... here is my player ratings:



Seaman - Safe as Arsenal's last man... never got put on a test by the Man. United players.  9/10

A. Cole - Awesome as ever at left back... you can see this young man's talent, he's gonna flourish in the World Cup as England's regular left back.. perfect tackles, strong physique, very fast paced... he's got everything.  9/10

Campbell - Showed everybody why he is one of the world's greatest defenders... he was like a road block in Man. United's path... denying them a chance at every attack. Flawless game. 10/10

Keown - Great performance by him as well... a sturdy, secure centre-half, as ever. 8/10

Lauren - Excellent game... inspired offensive runs as well as controlling the right back position... he was simply unbeatable yesteday. 9/10

Ljungberg - Another awesome performance by Freddie... worked his ass off for 90 minutes and was rewarded... he was the sole architect of Wiltord's 57th minute strike, he is now officially a legend... and commited to Arsenal. 10/10

Vieira - He controlled the midfield... won every tackle, won every air battle, won everything... what an majestic player... the world's greatest. 10/10

Edu - Surpisingly good at centre midfield... against such opposition he did a stunning job at the middle of the pitch, very creative, found openings everywhere... an enourmous talent who will hopefully stay at the club. 9/10

Parlour - Like a unstoppable working machine tarnishing Manchester United... he never gave up, always commited and willing to attack as well as help out in defense... superlatives can't describe his performance yesterday. 10/10

Kanu - Good game... showed some brief moments of brilliance, but failed to put a big input on the game... he was good at keeping possesion and distributing the ball...he also hit some good long shots which might as well have hit the net... 7/10

Wiltord - Actually I think he was our worst player... he set off on desperate runs going nowhere, couldn't manage to get past the United defenders... but at least he converted the easy chance presented by Barthez. 7/10



So there it is, Arsenal's third ever The Double... reminiscent of the 1997/98 season, when Arsenal also beat Man. United at Old Trafford and went on to Double glory... this team has been astonishing all season and truly deserved it, especially after all those bitter defeats at last hurdle in earlier seasons which denied us silverware... now, domination is ours.


And to Jay ay Beee:  I told you! ;)

KVB:
That is true ExZit... now look at the majestic, proud Patrick Vieira... he  controlled the game, kissed the Arsenal badge several times during the match... he is a true hero, a football legend, the greatest... and best of all, he's gonna stay representing Arsenal, forever.

Jay ay Beee:
Well Done Arsenal
