june 24th
Last night – friends arrive, open bottle of cava, start making dinner, open more cava, chat, blah blah, more cava, eat dinner, more cava, finish dinner, more cava, more cava, more cava, run out of cava, start on beer, drink beer, more beer, go to park to set off fireworks, burn hand, more beer, explode stuff, back to the house, sit on roof drinking beer and watching fireworks go off over the town below, drink more beer, friends leave, finish beer, go to bed, wake up with hangover.
That was my St Joan party last night. And again I have no tablets in the house. When I become very rich I’m going to ensure my robot butler has a well stocked tablet pantry. Oh yes.
So what Arsenal news? Well, St Etienne want Jeremie Aliadiere. Only on loan though. It might be a good thing for him, I dunno. He’s still got a bit to do to prove himself at Arsenal, and with Reyes and van Persie added to the mix now it might be a case that he goes somewhere else to get first team football. However, with the departure of Kanu and Wiltord, and Bergkamp’s non-flying to away european games, he may get more action than he might have thought at THOF.
Martin Keown could go to Reading. Ashley Cole is the Playstation king of the England camp, luckily for England there’s no mention of David James being involved in these little events. Today sees the release of the fixtures for next season. I’m reliably informed that our first game of the season is Everton away.
It’s 1/4 final time for England tonight. Portugal won’t be scared of Rooney, and England need Beckham and Owen to actually show up if they want to go through. Should be fun though…
