08.53 – Funnily enough, heading to work yesterday evening, I saw a bus full of school children being set upon by a dragon, a roc, a killer unicorn and a pack of dwarf clowns. A little voice in my head told me I should help me. I ignored it, natch.
Yesterday’s Pires to Valencia story isn’t worth commenting on except to say to this Presidential candidate, ‘Chupe mierda de mi culo, hijo de puta’.
Let’s hope this doesn’t stop Arsene going out and buying a really good centre-half this summer. I reckon the boss is just talking the talk, which is fair enough. There are some whispers that we’ve been talking to Jaap Stam. Could we not just buy somebody with hair?
Arsenal should hear today whether or not Sol Campbell will have to serve a 4 match ban, effectively ruling him out for the season.
Thierry Henry is ready to lead the charge for the title. He says “I feel good because the manager has been able to rest me in some matches this season and I have felt the benefit. I feel I can go out there and keep scoring and I know that it is important that I do.”
Obviously not all the responsibility lies with him, we could do with a few more goals from Dennis as well, whose season has been less than prolific. Freddie seems to be scoring a few at the moment, and surely Gilberto will get his first Premiership goal before the end of the season. In Premiership terms, he could be the new John Jensen you know.
Away from football, kudos to the bloke who hacked Madonna’s website. Serves her right. Her new song is like holding an amplified stylophone too close to a concert speaker, and then processing through Daft Punk’s arse… “ooooh, bleeep sounds’, how original. The Onion – hahaha.
Finally for today, another question. You are playing for Arsenal against Man Utd. The final game of the season, there’s 20 minutes to go. It’s 1-0 to the Arsenal. Enough to win the league. 1-1 would give the title to them. Suddenly, van Nistelrooy is steaming clear, you’re the last man chasing him, but you’re not going to get in front of him to make a tackle.
You have two choices, do you 1 – rely on the ability of your goalkeeper and hope he can make a vital save, while making life as difficult as possible for the Dutchman to make a shot, or 2 – chop the cunt down outside the box Willie Young style, knowing that it’s going to be a definite red card and your team will have to defend their lead with 10 men?
I have to say it’s number 2 all the way for me…..
