Weclome to a brand new month on Arseblog, but there’s not a whole lot going on this morning. I had a strange dream last night whereby I was sending out an informative, but handwritten newsletter, to all Arseblog members on a monthly basis. It included pictures of the new stadium building site, team news, interviews with Martin Keown about his dancing school for gifted children and much, much more. Of course, the idea of producing a monthly newsletter on top of the site itself was truly terrifying – especially when I realised that whatever world I was living in hadn’t invented the photcopier yet and I would have to write each one out by hand. Fair made me shudder, let me tell you.
The only Arsenal news around is more of Arsene Wenger talking about how last year’s hurt will ensure Arsenal don’t make the same mistakes again and become complacent. Patrick Vieira reckons Arsenal can win the Champions League within 3 seasons, while Alan Hansen says Arsenal need to win back to back titles to be considered one of the great teams, like United of the 90s, or Liverpool of the 70s.
Speaking of last year’s hurt, it was nice to see Boro win the Carling Cup yesterday, as they beat Bolton in the process. And how nice to see Sam Allardcye spend the rest of his Sunday moaning about referee Mike Riley and how he cost them the match. It’s no wonder he’s friends with Sir Alex Ferguson as they’re a two of the most objectionable and ungracious managers in the game. I’m not that fond of any other teams, or any other players, but it’s a hard heart that didn’t feel a little bit happy for Juninho winning something at Boro at last. 43 cup finals, relegated 20 times, him crying on the pitch after every game they play – at least now he’s got a shiny Carling Cup medal to to pride of place beside the one he got for winning that little-known World Cup with Brazil.
Right, that’s your lot. More scooter repair man fun ahead this morning. I can’t wait.
