07.36 – So a bank holiday Monday in England means that absolutely nothing happened yesterday, leaving me with very little news to bring you this morning, at this early stage anyway.
It’s a bit strange that there’s no news to be honest. We’re 2 games into the season now, we’ve got a game on Wednesday against Aston Villa (which sees us up against our old pal Dave O’Leary), yet the news feeds are quiet. This is not a big problem really, except if you happen to write an Arsenal blog and you’ve got nothing to update your site with. One way of getting around this is to waffle on about how there’s nothing to write about, making it look as if you’re packed full of info like every other morning.
Another trick is to start new paragraphs, again to make it look as if you’re saying lots, when in fact you’re hopelessly bullshitting. Or bullshitting hopelessly. You would think that after doing this for over 18 months, posting something nearly every day, I’d have a reserve of stuff to use in emergencies like this. A rainy day fund of interesting links to save the day. Wrong. My reserve fund is as empty as Tottenham’s trophy cabinet.
The other thing is this. As soon as I get into work, around 9.30am here – stuff will start to happen. We’ll get some team news and some other bits and pieces, and by mid-morning there’ll be lots of stuff going on. Of course, by then it’ll be too late, and as much as I can doss in work (and believe me as time goes on I’m working less and dossing more), it’s impossible to update the site from there in the style I would like.
The only thing I could find that was in any way Arsenal related was an interview with ex-Gunner Rohan Ricketts? Remember him? No, didn’t think so. He left on a free for Spurs around the same time Sol Campbell joined Arsenal. Obviously looking to massage the ego of his mad boss, he said the following “There’s not too much difference between Arsene and Glenn. I train with Glenn every day and I think he’s a top coach.”
Excuse me for a second. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. The boy has got a sense of humour all right. There’s not much difference between AW and Hoddle. Apart from the fact that AW has won the Double twice, the FA Cup, got Arsenal playing the kind of football that Sp*rs fans can only dream of seeing their team play, won the respect and admiration of his players and the Arsenal fans, and isn’t a stupid haired, big-jawed cunt. Apart from that there’s not much difference. Priceless.
Ok, I’ll go to work because as soon as I do, stuff will happen. Just watch.
