Shhhhhh, my head. It hurts. Oh God, it hurts. Actually, it doesn’t really. I think I might have destroyed the part that manages pain with rum based cocktails. Oh well.
Good stuff yesterday from the boys. Saw the game – was impressed. Arsenal were good without ever being spectacular. Portsmouth without Yakubu would be possibly the worst team I have ever seen. A Thierry Henry hat-trick gave us the win, we lost Pascal Cygan to some kind of zombie virus in the first half and in general it was very comfortable apart from Yakubu’s two chances. Philippe Senderos impresses me more and more each time I see him. He’s a proper centre-half and I really like the way he leaps into some tackles. Quincy started up front with Thierry and had some nice touches but the difference between Portsmouth and Sheffield United is obvious. Not in terms of ability, because I’d say both teams are more or less equal, but Portsmouth came to defend and Quincy didn’t have the room he had at Bramall Lane. Still, he did well enough. Anyway, a nice build-up to Wednesday’s Champions League game which we’re going to win 3-0.
Now a brief round-up: Tony Adams says he’ll help Jermaine Pennant – expect young Jermaine to become a poetry loving bore any day now, Arsene Wenger talks about Chelsea’s situation being artificial because of the blood money of dead Russian people financing their title and his ongoing war of words with Demento, Chelsea will face a charge for their tapping up of Ashley Cole while the boss is promising to only bring in ‘real star players‘ in the summer. Michael Owen is being touted as a target more and more while the Spanish papers seem to think we’re after Espanyol’s Cameroonian, and really quite good, goalkeeper Carlos Kameni. They say chief scout Steve Rowley has been at a number of recent Espanyol games and that we’re also looking at their centre-half, Lopo.
And that’s all I’ve got. Enjoy your Sunday.
