I’m tired this morning. Wishing I could get that extra hour of sleep back.
Funny how this ‘Earth Hour’ thing happened, everyone turned their lights off in a pathetic attempt to save the planet, and then we lose an hour’s sleep? Coincidence? I think not. It’s nature’s way of telling us to stop being such a pack of Marys and just get on with things. I hope people will think twice before taking part in such nonsensical stunts in the future.
If we try it again who knows what might happen. We here in Ireland may finds ourselves with 12 months of winter as Mother Nature takes away those long, hot, sweaty summers we enjoy and for which we are famed. And if that happens I will be most crotchety, let me tell you.
We’re still in the middle of the Interlull although now, at least, there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. There’s another round of games though and hopefully our lads will come through without so much as nick or a scratch.
Sadly, speaking of Nicks, it seems as if Nicklas Bendtner has picked up a knee injury playing for Denmark. I can only find word of it on one site and when you click the story the page doesn’t load. The headline says “Denmark Admit Concern Over Extent Of Injury To Arsenal Star Bendtner”.
They’re obviously so concerned that they’ve forced a media blackout to prevent widespread panic and rioting on the streets of Copenhagen. I hope it’s not too serious.
But wait, a little more digging around and I’ve found some quotes from the Danish coach, Morten but not Morten from Aha Olsen. He says:
It is an unfortunate injury, but we do not know yet how it looks in terms of Wednesday. He has irritation and pain in the left knee.
I like that. I can imagine Bendtner’s left knee with a nose and eyes and a mouth making a face like an old woman listening to teenagers on a bus playing the latest hit from Nelly or Sean Paul or Dustin Timbersnake on their mobile phones for the rest of the passengers to ‘enjoy’. What is the story with that anyway?
Do the youth of today have no interest in the quality of sound at all? When I was a lad we’d strive to get the best quality audio we could. That involved buying a new stylus every few weeks, saving up and getting speaker cable that was a bit more expensive than the bog-standard stuff, tweaking amps, adding equalisers and much more.
Now these little bastards download a 64kb MP3 from some dodgy site and play it via their mobile phone’s speaker, making it sound like a retarded wasp in a biscuit tin. No wonder the old lady is irritated. Idiots. Anyway, I digress. Bendtner’s knee is sore. Erm. Yeah.
Hull City are set to provide The FA with their dossier about the Cesc Fabregas/Brian Horton/We’re just making stuff up now and have gone too far to back down incident. As usual Arseblog is ahead of game and can provide you, exclusively, with a copy of the letter Hull are sending to the powers that be.

Robert Pires says Arsenal need more English players. I can see where’s he’s coming from but it looks like the balance he refers to will happen via young English players coming through from the youths rather than the manager going out and buying them.
Personally I think Arsenal need more evil robots with twirling helicopter style blades on the end of their arms like Maximilian from the original Battlestar Galactica the Black Hole film but English players are probably easier to come by.
Right then, that’ll have to do for a Monday morning. Have at it, Arsers.
