Okay, i woke up this morning with my cousin telling me that my tweet about 9ice was published inside today's PUNCH, he had READ IT online, that is the problem when you always read newspapers online, even GEJ dont read like my cousin! Well, i just feel as a versatile journalist, yeah i am into entertainment too, in fact i present a TV show, so i feel that could tarnish my relationship with the singer, they shouldn't have published that.
I am not a troublesome person, so i am not taking any measures against them, dont see that happening, i just feel my tweets should be personal and going as far as quoting me, i dont like it, Punch i will punch you o!
Well, thats that, Football now, yesterday night, Jack Wilshere grabbed the first two-goal haul of his career as Arsenal inched towards qualification from Champions League Group F on Tuesday night. This group is proving to be the real group of death as tagged during the draws.
Arsenal will qualify if they avoid a three-goal defeat in Italy on matchday six against Napoli, i actually don't see that happening and with the way things are, i see Dortmund going out of this group, i want that to happen though ... so, they wont forget Arsenal in a hurry *winks*
However they will have to get a draw if they want to be certain of securing top spot.
SETTING THE SCENE
Wenger made three changes from the side that had extended their lead in the Premier League table against Southampton on Saturday.
Kieran Gibbs was a late omission after feeling unwell. Nacho Monreal came in at left-back. Elsewhere it was like for like in midfield - Tomas Rosicky for Santi Cazorla and Mathieu Flamini for Mikel Arteta.
FIRST HALF
Arsenal had the lead within half a minute. Wilshere escaped down the right and fooled his marker before curling a wonderful left-footed effort into the top corner.
The home side came into this game top of the Premier League and Champions League Group F. Marseille had yet to register a point and had been patchy in Ligue 1.
Therefore the goal was the perfect foundation for the home side to kick on.
They should have doubled their advantage almost immediately when Olivier Giroud found Wilshere down the right. He tapped a perfect ball across the face of goal for the onrushing Ramsey. Keeper Steve Mandanda managed to save with his legs.
Although Wojciech Szczesny raced out well to snatch the ball from the feet of Andre-Pierre Gignac, Marseille were offering little more than honest endeavour.
Arsenal had the game under control. Ozil and Rosicky both had half-chances for a second, and Giroud seemed to be hauled down in the area as he went for a free-kick.
Eight minutes from the whistle Arsenal did get a penalty when Nicolas N’Koulou tripped Ramsey on the edge of the area. Ozil opted for a shortened run-up but Mandanda read it and saved low to his right. Ozil was so relaxed talking the penalty as if its Joe Hart in goal. He should be whipped in the ass by Wenger
SECOND HALF
The statistics showed Arsenal had enjoyed 70 per cent of the possession in the first half. But the scoreline did not reflect that.
They were unnecessarily vulnerable and immediately sought to rectify the situation.
Giroud blazed over and, in the 55th minute, Ozil sprinted through only to see his cross-shot saved by Mandanda.
Marseille were on the ropes now and offered little in terms of offence.
Arsenal needed a knockout blow and the second goal, in the 65th minute, seemed to land it.
The passing on the goal was exquisite. Ramsey released Ozil down the right-hand channel and he found Wilshere in the middle.
The Englishman coverted and suddenly (and uniquely) found himself on a hat-trick.
It seemed a long way back for Marseille and Wenger looked to make changes. Substitutes Cazorla and Theo Walcott were standing on the sidelines when Florian Thauvin’s half-saved shot was booted off the line by Monreal.
Two minutes later the same player tested Szczesny with a low shot just inside the near post.
But it was only a brief revival.
Arsenal ended in the ascendency. Walcott set up Cazorla to blaze over. The Englishman then fired wide.
When the whistle went it felt like 'job done'. That is why this group is so crazy a group, with 12 pints, ordinarily one should be assured of progressing to the next stage but we are still at the risk of being kicked out but we will qualify i am sure of that. We have come of age and when you have qualities like Walcott, Arteta, Cazorla, Gnarby, Podolski .... ermmm, ok Bendtner on your bench, it gives you this believe that we are going places.
However there is still something to do in Naples next time out. Hehehehe, Naples, Nipples lolz ... ashewo people

Yesterday on twitter, i was asking my Chelsick pals 'how market', they were mute i later realized that their BIS must have expired immediately after they lost to BASEL ... Oh, @Haykinz later responded, later @afilmhead also 'unmute' hehehehe. Only MJ didn't talk.
