Pembalasan Si Pitung

Arsenal 5-0 Porto

This is what I called Pembalasan Si Pitung. Sweet revenge for the Gunners after losing 1-2 at first leg. The school boy errors that made the headlines during the first leg now easily forgoten. The emphatic victory over the Portuguese giant at  the Emirates Stadium send the signal to others team that Arsenal is serious contender in UCL. Although without Cesc Febregas,  Arsene Wenger's young team rose to the occassion with gritty performance that condemned Porto into their highest defeat in Europe.

The man of the night belong to Nicklas Bendtner who heavily criticised after a dissappointing Saturday's win against Burnley. The towering Dane grabbed a hatrick to silence his critics. Samir Nasri who took over the Febragas role in central midfield did a splendid job making the absence of the Gunner skipper easily forgoten.

Back to Pembalasan Si Pitung. It was actually an Indonesian movie. I believed been produced in the 1970s . Not so sure what was the story all about. I just remembered the poster outside the cinema that promoting the movie when I was small. But I believed it all about revenge. I was so captivated with the movie title that I always mentioned it especially when I was playing with my brothers. Instead of saying revenge I will simply said Pembalasan Si Pitung. And until know I will use Pembalasan Si Pitung for the change of revenge. What Arsenal did last night was definitely PEMBALASAN SI PITUNG.

I browsed the internet and found the above poster. The movie was produce in 1978. Wow quite an old movie. But this poster had Jiih at the end. I'll seek more info letter.
