Arsenal make unforgettable Cardinals Jersey
[hr] [hr]
Reading 5 Arsenal 7 (aet): Arsenal's collapse and then comeback, within Authentic Cardinals Jerseys Shop90 astonishing minutes of Capital One Cup football, ought to be how the 2012/13 season is remembered.This
game had 12 goals, four of them in extra time, a Theo Walcott hat-trick, two for Marouane Chamakh, and some of the best and worst football that either
side will play this season. Arsenal scored in added time at the end of the first half, the second half and of extra time as they recovered from the
worst first-half performance of the Arsène Wenger era.
It would be wrong to say this game had everything you might have hoped for. Who William Powell Jerseycould have had the imagination to hope for this? Arsenal, as it happens, will be in the quarter-finals of the League Cup. But
the stakes barely seem relevant when the game is this good.This season's best contest started with its most one-sided 45 minutes. Reading started with
hunger and purpose and focus. Arsenal played like confused strangers, looking lazy, clumsy and not fully worthy of their famous shirts. Reading
blitzed Arsenal, taking a 4-0 lead that was as shocking as it was warranted.
I thought we were extraordinary," said Brian McDermott.The first Official Cardinals Jerseysthree goals came in an eight-minute spell. If it was not a brief nadir of the Wenger era it certainly looked like it.
All of the goals were simple, purposeful and preventable. Hal Robson-Kanu crossed to Jason Roberts at the far post for the first. Laurent Koscielny
turned in Chris Gunter's cross for the second. Mikele Leigertwood shot through Damian Martinez's fist for the third. After 16 quiet minutes Noel Hunt
headed the fourth, from Garath McCleary's cross.
We want our Arsenal back" sang the fans, seeing BE1102ZYH their silverware shots Larry Fitzgerald Jerseythis season cut from two to one. "I don't remember a performance like that," Wenger said. "I did not feel great."When
Walcott scored with the last kick of the first-half, the 4,000 travelling fans cheered ironically. McDermott, who described it as the turning point,
was not quite so jovial. "I wasn't happy. It made me uneasy."Momentum is a powerful thing. The second half was a very different place. Suddenly
Arsenal started to play, passing and moving, attacking the goal in front of their fans.
There were some missed chances and Wenger turned to his bench, forCardinals Jersey Olivier Giroud and the 19-year-old Thomas Eisfeld.In his second minute on the pitch Giroud headed in a corner. "At 4-2 you
suddenly realise it is not over, the panic kicks in," explained Wenger. He must have recognised in Reading what he saw from Arsenal in the first half.
"We didn't play," said McDermott. "It was suicide."With one minute left Koscienly headed in a corner kick. The board went up, four minutes left. Four
minutes passed, the game looked gone.
But Chamakh flicked to Walcott who completed the recovery. Giroud and http://www.authenticcardinalsjerseysshop.com/Francis Coquelin, presuming the game would be replayed, threw their shirts into the crowd.Extra-time
was manic. All 44 legs were tired but Arsenal had more in their hearts and they went ahead. Arshavin, had the ball on the edge of the box and set up
Chamakh, the perfect hero on a night this strange, and his shot was beyond Adam Federici. Arsenal had the lead.But it is difficult to impose order on
chaos and Arsenal's attempts failed. With five minutes left Gunter's deflected shot flew to Pavel Pogrebnyak, who headed past Martinez.
