Arsenal 2 - Bolton 0. Cable TV Blues

I would have killed the cable providers if they were anywhere near in sight. Really. That much was my frustration.
Here' what happened. On Saturday there was a cricket match..(yawn), t20.. (still yawning) .. T20 is supposed to be the most exciting version of cricket. And I slept off almost half of it. Back to the scenario. Then there was Chelsea's match(YAWN..!) and last but most importantly there was Arsenal Vs Bolton live. Cricket was on national(channel 1, prime band). Arsenal's match was on ESPN(Prime band again, ch 26) and Chelsea's on star(ch 84), which is unbearably grainy and unwatchable.
Then cricket starts and the cable tv c*nts are now showing the same match on ch 1 and ch 26. and Chelsea match on 59 where its relatively less grainy. And Arsenal's match in the worst band, ch 86..! Now, why on earth do they have to show cricket on two frequencies? And why the hell do they have to put ESPN on the worst frequency. C*nts. F*ck off.. I'm getting a new connection ASAP.

Eh, a pretty boring and dragging rant i suppose. Anyway to the match. As anyone could guess, i couldn't watch the match because of all this. But the result cheered me up. A good 2-0 win over Bolton. I watched the highlights and i couldn't spot one shot on goal by Bolton. That was enough to convince me that they were playing 11 men behind the ball. They were fouling us whenever possible, thus stifling our attack. And the first half ended goalless.

In the second half came a double substitution which changed the match. Rosicky and Walcott were brought on and their pace and flair was enough to see us through. Toure opened the scoring with a long low powerful shot which crept in. Then the two subs combined to score the second. Walcott's pace seemed just too much for Bolton at that stage.

And that was it. We won 2-0. Bolton were never threatening and we deserved the points. Just imagine what it might have been as i couldn't see a single moment in the highlights with Bolton having possession. With Sammy Lee gone, they were back to what they do best, fouling. But that didn't pay off this time around.

It was good to see Walcott having a significant impact on the game. Some more performances like these and he'll surely get a start on the wings. Or maybe upfront.

With this win, we're top of the league. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manc's won their games and are keeping up the pressure. The next few matches in EPL will sure turn out to be very vital.

But coming up next is CL match against Slavia Prague. The cable tv c*nts wont show the channel, so I'll have to be content with highlights yet again. Bleh.
