Arseblog: Wednesday 8th January 2003

january 8th

08.55 – Cough. Sniiiiiiiiifle. Gah, I’b sbotherthig wib a gold. Stubid birus.

Congrats to The Grimster who has found himself a new club at last. He rejected a move to Middlesborough to go and play for the Colorado Rapids, home of fuzzy haired Colombian Valderrama. Anyone know if that’s near Boulder, Colorado? Coz if it is he could pop in on Mork and Mindy and see how they’re doing these days.

Still no word on if the FA Cup tie against Farnborough will be moved to Highbury. The FA say ties can only be moved if there are concerns about security or safety or some such thing, and it seems Sky want the game played at Cherrywood (sounds like a home for virginoholics) as they have chosen it for live coverage but will only cover the game if Farnborough play at home. Farnborough boss Graham Westley says “The view of our directors is that the infrastructure of the club isn’t big enough to handle a match of such magnitude“. The pictures in this Sun article seem to prove that. Looks like it will move, and whatever TV money they would have received will be recouped in increased gate receipts from Highbury.

Steven Gerrard charged. Good. Never trust a man with a hairline like that.

Looks like those Birmingham City rumours were right, but for now, Matthew Upson stays at Arsenal. Which is good in my opinion. I hope he’s given a proper chance to prove himself, but how do the rest of you rate him? It’s obvious Sol and Martin Keown are the first choice centre halves, but who would have as 3rd, Upson or Cygan? Leave a comment and let me know. And Pascal, no leaving lots of comments from different names eh?!

Right, I’m off to drink Lemsip. And hot whiskey. And beer. And Gin & Tonics. Soon, I will be too pissed to realise I’m sick. Excellent…
