december 3rd
Only 21 shopping days till Christmas. That’s so much easier to work out these days when shops are open 7 days a week, 26 hours a day. This year I hope to get some kind of box. Then I can pretend it’s a fire engine. Or a box.
You might have felt a slight warming of the air yesterday and it’s been reported there was a sudden melting at the polar ice caps. That was the steam coming out of Demento’s ears when it was revealed Robin van Persie can’t be dealt with any further by the FA because the referee saw and dealt with the incident at the time. So stick it. We owe these fuckers when they come to Highbury in the new year.
Those of us hoping to see the first team get a little of bit of youthful exuberance will be disappointed as the most likely candidates Robin van Persie and Jermaine Pennant look set to miss the game through injury. Add to them Edu, Gilberto, Berkgamp and Cygan and there’s not much room for manoeuvre. According to the boss “It means there is not a lot of possibility for innovation. But at the same time it is a good way for the same 15 or 16 players to say to themselves ‘Come on let’s get back strongly’.”
One option being considered to bolster our midfield is a short term deal for Emmanuel Petit who has been training with the club. “Maybe he could help us for a few months. I haven’t ruled it out,” says AW. It’s also been rumoured that Marco Né could join the club along with his Beveren team-mate in the January transfer window but at this stage there’s nothing definite.
Anyway, I fancy us to win tomorrow. 12-0, at least. What are your plans for the weekend then?
