07.36 – I can’t believe how tired I am this morning. I had fully intended going out on a mad one tonight, but fuck that. I think I’ll just come home after work and gently slip into a coma.
Last night I watched about 15 minutes of a program called ‘Face Off’, about Arsene Wenger v Alex Ferguson and who was the big cheese of football management. Aside from it being a pointless exercise to begin with, the show itself was like stepping into a steaming turd then falling into a river of sick.
Everytime AW appeared on screen, they played ‘Je t’aime’. Talk about stereotypes. What about all the other great French tunes they could have used like ‘Joe le taxi’ and ‘Voyage Voyage’? Sheer nonsense, and the pro-Fergie bias got to me after a while. Had to turn it off.
Taking advantage of a change in the rules about loaning players between Premiership clubs, Fulham signed promising young defender Mortiz Volz on loan until the end of the year. Playing regular football in the Premiership will be good for him, and he could come back and challenge Lauren for the right-back spot. He looks a bit like Oleg too, doesn’t he?
Both Arsenal and Man Utd will wear their away kit in this Sunday’s charity community shield. Is this the first time this has happened? Arsenal’s away kit is the groovy new tellow and blue, while Man Utd’s is all black. And next week it’s blue and white stripes. And the week after….*boom tish*
He’s been out of range for a little while, perhaps he was on his holidays, perhaps he was up to something a bit more mysterious than that, but either way he’s back. Leopold returns with Hot Weather, Cool Cats on the real ANR.
I have a funny feeling we’ll get some Vieira/Pires news today or tomorrow. Here’s hoping.
