Monday morning is going to be hell

FourFourTwo's resident Gooner Ben Welch looks back on a dramatic North London derby...

From ecstasy to complete and utter misery. I hate Arsenal. I hate football. There I was on the train to Manchester dancing a little jig as Arsenal went 2-0 up in the North London derby.

Samir Nasri's angle-defying first goal and Marouane Chamakh's well orchestrated second were gleefully enjoyed at my seat with the ESPN Goals app on my X10.

This app gives me the luxury of watching videos of all the goals and highlights from all Barclays Premier League matches over the next three seasons â within minutes of the action on the pitch.

Banter was flying around on Facebook and Twitter â I was reveling in the pain of the Tottenham faithful.

Being an Arsenal fan there was always doubt in my mind â we have become synonymous with throwing leads away in big games.

At least I won't have to relive the misery on Match of the Day, having seen the goals already.

Thankfully I know I'll be able to enjoy happier moments and Arsenal goals with the ESPN Goals app later in the season.

God didn't answer my prayers, but the Devil was listening in and he made sure I received capital punishment.
