22.23 – It seems a lot of people are seeing this image all over the site instead of the normal images.
This is the image that people see when they try to steal images from this site to use on their own site, thus stealing my bandwidth. Anyway, it seems that there was an update to Norton Internet Security or something, and that’s why lots of people are seeing this. Norton is fucking up your systems people.
To stop being told piss off and being called a cunt, follow these steps:
- Click on the Norton Globe
- Go to ‘Privacy control’ and then click on the ‘custom’ box
- Uncheck the ‘browser privacy’ option and that should be that
Those instructions were kindly provided by furq who spent all morning wondering what he’d done to offend me. They’re for Norton 3, but it should be more or less the same for all version. Now, piss off you cunts.
09.14 – Eras are great aren’t they? Great chunks of time associated with a person or place or thing. The only bad thing is they have to end sometime. Yesterday saw the end of an era at Arsenal Football Club.
Yesterday saw the end of the Oleg era at Arsenal. After 4 years at the club, and 108 appearances, our Ukrainian man mountain has been released on a free transfer. Signed from Dynamo Kiev in 1999, we all thought he was going to replace Lee Dixon at right full back.
We watched him shackle Overmars brilliantly in the Champions League and thought that if he could handle a player like that so well, the rest of the no-marks in the Premiership would be a piece of piss.
It didn’t quite work out like that to be fair. He took some time to adjust to the English game. His appearances were fairly sporadic, but for the most part he was solid enough. He was sent off three times. Once against Wimbledon when he was last man, once against Blackburn for two yellows and once in the Champions League for flooring an opponent with a right hook. Legend.
As a special Oleg flavoured treat, here’s a wallpaper of him being sent off against Blackburn.
Last season was probably his best at the club. Arsenal had defensive problems. Everytime somebody played left back, they got crippled. Oleg played right back, centre-half and left back to great effect. One storming performance at left back nearly resulted in what would have been his only Arsenal goal. He thundered down the left wing like a rampaging hippo, played a 1-2 with Bergkamp I think, did a Cruyff turn, nutmegged 4 players, did that thing where you flick the ball over your head with your heel, a couple of Kanu-esque body moves and he thundered the ball at the Newcastle goal. Shay Given was so scared he was jumping out of the way, but unfortunately for Oleg the ball hit him by accident so his goal tally for the Gunners remained 0.
I think it’s great that his final appearance for the club was such a good one. Every pundit that day said ‘Beattie vs Luzhny? No contest’ – they were right. Hamster face didn’t get a fucking sniff. So long Oleg, thanks for everything, and if you do go to Charlton, please don’t score against us next season (unless we’re winning 8-0).
I think this rules out the prospect of Harry Kewell playing for Arsenal. Young French centre-half Philippe Mexes says he’s ‘flattered’ by Arsenal’s interest in him. He would be a good signing in my opinion, young, talented, quick and could be a feature in the Arsenal defence for years to come.
Old Italian carthorse Lorenzo Amoruso has obviously been pissed since Rangers won the cup the other day. It’s well known Blackburn have made an offer for him, but the Michael Bolton haired defender says that both Machester United and Arsenal want to sign him. “Yes, it’s true, I have been told that both of these clubs are interested in signing me,” said Amoruso. Yeah right, sounds like a Celtic fan has been making some prank phone calls. Two chances mate, and slim just left town.
That’s it for today. The power of Oleg be with you.
