June 13th
Because it’s a slow time and the transfer speculation is almost non-existant, and because I need something to write about on the blog for the rest of the summer I, yesterday, signed up for ADSL from a new provider. This will double my speed, lower my bill, give me cheap phone calls and give me a free wifi router which means I can do all that wireless stuff with my laptop. The fun begins when I have to change from Telefonica to the new provider which I’m sure, this being Spain an’ all, will go swimmingly and without any problems whatsoever. So that, at least, will give us something to talk about. And by give us something to talk about I mean give me something to rant about on those slow days when there’s nothing happening.
Kind of like today but it’s too soon for anything to be going on. In terms of Arsenal there’s precisely fuck all happening. There was a story about how Robin van Persie wants to stay at Arsenal forever and ever and ever while Michael Owen looks more likely to leave Madrid than ever before but I don’t think he’s a serious target for us despite the constant rumours of a swap deal with José Antonio Reyes. Oh, and expect more Henry stories – AS.com are running something about Thierry being Florentino Perez’s dream signing this summer. They say Henry is tired of playing for a club which doesn’t win titles – something Barcelona’s press said too – handily neglecting to mention Barcelona’s record in the CL in recent years, Madrid’s failure in the last few seasons and the fact that Henry has won silverware at Arsenal nearly every year since his arrival. Zzzzzzz, I say, Zzzzzz.
And at this early stage there’s nothing else happening. I start a new job today but it’s so top secret and confidential I can’t tell you anything about it apart from the fact I’m going to be an assassin. First hit is at 10am today. Wish me luck.
