Morning Arsefans. Thursday already. I got into work yesterday and was convinced it was Tuesday until someone set me right at about 4pm. Sweet. I love when that happens.
Ok, let’s start with Fran Merida, the young Spaniard who has come, like Cesc, from Barcelona. Lots of sites are saying the deal is ‘imminent‘, well, it’s more than that. The deal is done and he’s now an Arsenal player. To give you a look at what we’re getting check out this link – thanks to Archie. It’s a 46mb Zip file so those of you on dial-up will want to ignore it though.
Recent signing Emmanuel Adebayor talks about how he’s finding life at Arsenal. He says “As long as I keep hitting the back of the net here, then I will be happy.”
Let’s hope he keeps scoring then or we’ll have an unhappy Togan on our hands and when those guys get pissed off it is not pretty, let me tell you. Now that Robin van Persie is on his way back he’s got some competition and that, as we all know, is a good thing.
Barcelona claim Henry, says The Times, only it seems their source for that article is this piece of shit on some piece of shit Barcelona blog. Lame, The Times, lame.
It’s not something I normally do but I have to dedicate a little bit of blog space to some fans today. Firstly to long-time Arser Searsy and the lovely Mrs Sears – congrats to them on their second baby. A Gooner first and a Goonerette second. Well played and they resisted the tempation to call her Britney. Also to another Goonerette called Ava Starr in Seattle who already has her own Arsenal jersey despite being just 3 days old. Good man, Ian, your sister Anna is very proud.
Actually, this reminds me of my radio days. “And to Larry and Elaine in Cabra who are mad for each other and want to hear ‘Everything I do, I do it for you’ by Bryan Adams. Well Larry and Elaine, especially for you here’s The Ramones.”
Finally, we’ve all heard of people doing sponsored walks and swims and cycles and all sorts but Rob Marsden is an Arsenal fan who is trying to raise money for cancer patients by, wait for it, climbing Kilimanjaro. Some undertaking. I think everybody has had that poxy disease touch their lives at some time and seeing as Arsenal FC refused to sponsor him in any way I’m sure Arseblog readers can show their class by pledging a few bob. Click here to visit his site and give what you can to a very worthy cause.
Right, that’s yer lot. Till tomorrow.
