I had planned on opening today’s blog with a quote from Thierry Henry from the article that appeared on arsenal.con (still no reply to my email about lack of radio commentary, the slack bastards). However, due to my internet connection being dodgier than a Manchester United transfer deal, you’ll have to let me paraphrase for you.
“For the last fucking time, I love it at Arsenal. I’ve signed a new fucking contract for fucks sake. I’m not moving anywhere. Now, why don’t you scuttery press wankers with nothing better to do than write ‘HENRY TO MADRID’ headlines, go and fuck yourselves. You cunts.”
At least that’s how I remember it.
Last night saw our old chums Middlesbrough do us a favour as they beat United 3-2 at Old Trafford. Juninho, all 3’4” of him scored two headers to put Boro 2-0 up, United got back to 2-2, but then Joseph Desire Job scored the winner with about 10 minutes to go. In the 94th minute, Diego Forlan, who reneged on a deal to join Boro just before he signed for United, hit the bar from 4 yards out. You have to laugh, really. Maybe Demento would have been better off splashing some cash on a defender in the transfer window, it’s not like United have ever had problems scoring goals. So we’re 5 points clear now, and while no Arsenal fan is going to get carried away – there’s a long way to go and we know fine well that 5 points is nowhere near enough of a gap yet – it’s still nice to see.
Kanu looks like he’s on his way back after Nigeria were beaten in the semi-finals of the African Cup of African Nations from Africa playing for a Cup. They lost on penalties to the hosts Tunisia. Don’t forget our 1971 FA Cup final competition – you can win a copy of the double clinching game on DVD thanks to Nostalgic TV.
Now I have to go and teach the two ladies who lunch. Phrasal verbs, anyone?
