Here’s a question for you to start this Friday morning:
If Johnny has 6 apples and Mary has 5 apples and Johnny is travelling east on a train at 78mph and Mary is travelling west heading to the same location, from the same starting distance, at 71mph and there’s a flock of baby lambs on the tracks but one driver is an animal lover and would stop and parp his horn at them and the other is John Terry, how many times would you have to hit John Terry in the head with an iron bar to kill him or at least leave him in semi-vegetative state which would require round the clock care?
Answers on a postcard to 7, Dublin. The winner takes it all.
Having been faced with the shock news that Emmanuel Adebayor would be playing for Togo we now face an even bigger shock. It seems that AC Milan are ‘hatching a plan’ to prise him away from us in the summer. Ingenious bastards that they are – the plan, according to newspapers in Italy, is to pay us £35m. I can imagine that took some thinking up.
Intense boardroom meetings led them to the point where their ‘plan’ to get the player is to pay far, far more than he’s worth. Pure genius. We should put AC Milan in charge of the world economy, they’d sort it out pronto.
Obviously if somebody offered you £35m for Adebayor you’d bite their hands off. Just to be sure you’d probably have a little chomp at their forearms too but the reality is that nobody is going to offer £35m for Emmanuel Adebayor. AC Milan might want him, I can see some truth in that, but they won’t pay anything near as much as that.
To be honest I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we did sell him this summer. But that’s a world of speculation that can wait until the end of the season and until we see Ade holding a picture of La Gazzetta dello Sport or Corriere dello Sport or TuttoSport or El Mundo Deportivo or AS or Marca or The Leitrim GAA Chronicle.
Hull are still wittering on about Fabregas, suggesting that incident involving a Doncaster midfielder who was charged despite there being no witnesses and it being a case of ‘he said-she said’, is enough to bring about an FA charge.
What’s really interesting in the Sun article there is the line which says:
That decision has lifted Hull, who say Fabregas spat at No 2 Brian Horton after a stormy FA Cup quarter-final at the Emirates — seen by all of their coaching staff.
How interesting. All of a sudden it was seen by all their coaching staff. Yet when asked by the BBC who else saw the alleged incident, Brown was stumped, as the audio below suggests:
If all his staff had seen it wouldn’t he just have said that? Now, having had some time to get their house ‘in order’, we’re being fed the line that all the Hull coaching staff saw it. What a load of unmitigated bollocks.
Villarreal defender Gonzalo ‘Gonzalo’ Gonzales, the Welsh international, has summed up the feelings of the Spanish team by suggesting they’ll be out for revenge when we play them in the Champions League. He says:
I feel like the quarter-final game against Arsenal is a revenge match. Without question, just like everyone else who is still in the team, we feel like it’s time for revenge.
Maybe a better form of revenge would be to go to Riquelme’s house, kidnap him, tie him up and put him in a room playing Peter André’s ‘Mysterious Girl’ over and over and over again. He’s the one they should take revenge on, not us.
But I see where they’re coming from.
Not much else happening really. As you’ll have gathered there’s no Arsecast today. Interlull = precious little content and depending on your point of view that’s another reason to love/hate international football. It will return next week.
So until tomorrow’s action packed, Arse-filled blog, have a good day.
