Fans watch the match in anticipationA Good Start
A Good Start
Amidst familiar claps and cheers from my fellow fans, I stood there with bated breath as the players walked out onto the pitch. Then the whistle blew and the match started. We clapped enthusiastically.
Our club had a good start to the game and opened our BPL goal account within five minutes. When the ball hit the back of the Villains’ net, the pub went crazy and everyone was screaming at the top of their voices and giving each other high fives.
At that point, things were looking good and I wondered how many more goals we would score. The atmosphere was truly electrifying right there and then.
Turn for the Worse
But unfortunately, things took a huge turn for the worse. We missed many subsequent chances and ended up losing 3-1 when the final whistle blew.
Disappointment is in the air.
Our opponents, Aston Villa, were awarded two penalties and Koscielny got sent off, due to some rather controversial refereeing decisions.
Disappointed
With my head hung down, I slowly walked out of Molly Roffey’s. The cheers had been silenced long ago and everyone streamed out, feeling utterly downcast. The result had definitely not been what we Gooners had desired for the opening game of the season, but I am nevertheless still looking forward to my next trip to Molly’s.
Hopefully the result will be much better too, when I return here next time.
