Little man goes it alone

Well done, Ajay! 

It is just before the Arsenal/ Liverpool game. Arshavin goes into the changing room to find all his teammates looking a bit glum.

“What’s up?” he asks. 

“Well, we’re having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it’s important, but, you know, it’s only Liverpool. They’re a bit rubbish at the moment, and we can’t really be bothered”. 

Arshavin looks around at them, all so demotivated, and comes up with a plan. 

“Don’t you worry, lads, I reckon I can beat them by myself – after all I’ve almost done it twice before. You lads go and play on your Xboxes.” 

So Arshavin goes out to play Liverpool by himself, and the rest of the Arsenal team go off to do whatever it is that teenagers do these days. 

After some time they wonder how the game is going, so they go online to check the score. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads “Arsenal 1 – Liverpool 0 (Arshavin 10minutes)”.

He is actually winning all by himself! 

Fast forward an hour or so, and Aaron Ramsey looks up from his Xbox.

“It must be full time now, let’s see how he got on”.

They check again. 

“Result from the Emirates: Arsenal 1 (Arshavin 10 minutes) – Liverpool 1 (Torres 89 minutes)”. 

They can’t believe it, he has single handedly drawn against Liverpool!

They rush back to the Emirates to congratulate him, but they find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands, weeping. 

He refuses to look at them. “I’ve let you down, I’ve let you down,” he sobs. 

“Don’t be daft, you got a draw against Liverpool, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!” laughs Cesc Fabregas. 

“No, no, I have, I’ve let you down… I got sent off after 12 minutes”
