Valencia 2 - 0 Arsenal

Let me just get this straight first. Valencia are the biggest bunch of cheating diving scum outside of Italy. And the Ref fell for their pathetic play-acting everytime. Primary cheating diving scum (née Michel) scored their first, and David Villa got their second. Arsenal's starting line up was:

Almunia

Eboue Gallas Djourou Clichy

Song

Fabregas(c) Diaby

Bendtner v.Persie Arshavin

The match was played at an awful standard of play by both teams throughout the match, apart from a 5 minute spell just after half time by Arsenal. In this case, Walcott's impact was exciting but it soon petered out to nothing. The second half was notable due to the fact that Primary Cheating Diving Scum lived up to his name and unashamedly dived in the box after a fair tackle by Silvestre. The dunce of a Referee fell for it, and Fabianski produced a splendid save to deny David Villa. Valencia should really have got a penalty late on after Traore felled Joaquin. However the Ref, perhaps informed by the 4th official that he had been made a fool out of for the first penalty, decided against awarding a spot kick for the home side.

I can't really be arsed to talk anymore about a match that was hideous throughout, save for the fact that I hope to dear God that Djourou and Silvestre never have a chance to play in the centre of defence together this season. There was obviously absolutely zero communication between the two of them, and I lost count on the number of times a Valencia attacker got in behind them.

The season starts in a week. Let's hope we perform better away from home then than we did today. I'll be back either in a weeks time or before, if anything occurs which could be considered noteworthy.
'Til then Gooners.
