Any game could be your last and that&#8217;s how I see it now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The last few years have been a little bit of a nightmare with my injury and every time I go out there now I give it my all and am delighted to do that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was delighted to get the goal but it will mean nothing if we don&#8217;t get the 40 or 41 points survival total or whatever it is going to be this season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Both of West Brom&#8217;s goals came as they capitalised on the well documented weaknesses in Arsenal&#8217;s defence. Reid revealed that manager Roy Hodgson had drilled his squad to expose that area of the Premier League title chasers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, it was something that against any team, when the delivery is right we&#8217;ve got a lot of big lads now; Jonas Olsson Abou Abdoulaye Meite, Paul Scharner and myself,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the delivery is right then we&#8217;ve got half a chance straight away and against any team we might cause them problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3b4e10aebeacon.dll_360.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See the article here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/21\/2404403\/west-brom-defender-steven-reid-after-arsenal-goal-i-feel\" title=\"West Brom defender Steven Reid after Arsenal goal: I feel grateful every time I step over the white line\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Brom defender Steven Reid after Arsenal goal: I feel grateful every time I step over the white line<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Matt Monaghan at The Hawthorns 21 Mar 2011 08:50:00 EPL,Steven Reid,West Bromwich Albion vs Arsenal Related Links Teams Players West Brom &#8216;s Steven Reid says he is grateful to still be playing football after his goal against Arsenal capped several years of injury misery.
