September 8th
Well, in the absence of real football I ended up watching Ireland v France with about 15 French workmates in an Irish bar here. It was all good fun and quite a good game too. It was funny though, one of the French lads said to me “I don’t know what eet ees wiv ‘Enry. Ee always play so good for Arsenal but wiv France ee’s terrible.” So I says “Well, he can have games like that but then pull something right out of the hat when you think he’s going to be quiet the whole game.”
So then Thierry scores. And what a lovely goal it was too. Good effort by Ireland though. You have to laugh at England – anyone with any eye for the game will know already that England’s only chance of winning the World Cup, if they qualify, is if Sven gets caught banging the wife of every single player of every single team they play for and each one of them suffers a complete on-pitch breakdown. A famous win for Norn Iron and Sven, the total and utter chancer, gets shown up again. Interesting to see Beckham so staunchly behind him too – he might not be the sharpest tool in the box but he’s knows his place is as safe as houses as long as Sven is in charge.
Elsewhere, congratulations to Philippe Senderos who got his first international goal in Switzerland’s 3-1 win over Cyprus. Internationals aside Demento says he turned down the chance to buy Patrick Vieira this summer. More stirring from old goat, and by goat I mean cunt. There’s no way Arsenal would have sold to United but would Paddy have gone there? Not much else happening, tomorrow will be better for Arsenal news, I hope. Fingers Xed everyone returns from international duty without injury.
