I am Gooner...
Some of AFCSM's activities that I was part of, also some other Arsenal fan-related stuff. Not many posts on gatherings though. This is not another Arsenal blog, there are too many out there already. Almost all the pics here are copied. If there are any copyright infringements, I apologize and do let me know. Btw, you could probably find more pics on some of the events at http://www.facebook.com/AFCSM

Arsenal Malaysia 3-2 Chelsea Malaysia, 28th May 2011
Arsenal Malaysia 6-0 Section 8 FC, 22nd May 2011
Amazing scoreline right? To be fair, our opposition played with 9 players, then 10, then 9 again. Unfortunate, but not our fault.
Game was played at SMS (Stor Menyimpan Senjata) Polis, TTDI Jaya. Really good venue for Arsenal to play at, don't you think? Get it? Senjata? Arsenal?
Credit to Izzat for arranging the game.

Arsenal Malaysia Cup 2011, 27th March 2011
Concept, 6 teams play each other in a round robin format. Each team has 7 players . The players will only know which team they will be in after a special draw. The players contacted Hafez Rachwan (thanks bro!) and once we had the 42 names, we proceeded with the special draw to see who goes to which team. The special draw was held a week before the event, coinciding with the match viewing gathering for the WBA vs Arsenal game, and was led by Izzat and ably assisted by Atiqah. Thank you both!
Someone asked me what I thought about the teams. This was my initial assessment.
Arshavin has 3-4 dangerous players. Top of the list is Hafilus. Solid, hard running and can sprint. And this is before the very skillful Qamal Fiqri replaced Rachu.
Bendtner has 5-6 org regulars, so we have to assume their teamwork will be good. And in their ranks they have Naim+Azha, AFCSM's regular centrebacks, plus Khai, AFCSM's regular goalkeeper.
Chamakh has 5 regulars, including AFCSM vice-captain Kepet, so again, they should have good teamwork.
Eboue has AFCSM's best goalkeeper in Shahnaz. In Paan and Faizal, they have very decent players.
But Fabregas are the favourites. They have King Azman + Pa'u, arguably the most skillful members we have in the tournament. Hafiz is also someone I know who is very skilful.
The event proper was held Samba de Futsal. We had 2 referees for all the games. Thanks to Aris for getting us those professional and experienced referees.
