08.55 – Man, I’m tired.
I think it’s because I had a dream I was playing rugby for Ireland against Scotland. I was the manager of the team as well, and Robert Pires was playing for Ireland. Scotland were playing in long, sueude coats with big fur collars and the pitch was the size of 20 football pitches. Tiring to say the least. I have no idea who won, but seeing the way Scotland have been playing rugby in recent years, it’s safe to assume my team of unfit Guinness drinkers won.
It’s Ajax tomorrow. We’ve had reports that Dennis is safely ensconsed in the dining cart of the Channel Tunnel train, eating eccles cake, having a cup of scald and doing a wordsearch in a giant book of puzzles. According to ex-Ajax player Kanu, Dennis will get a great reception from the home fans. He says “Ajax fans always follow players that have left and want them to do well.” For the most part I like to see ex-Arsenal players do well when they leave the club, except when they play against us. I’m sure there isn’t one Ajax fan who wants to see Dennis Bergkamp play the way they know Dennis Bergkamp can play tomorrow night.
And speaking of ex-Arsenal players, Nicolas Anelka says Man Utd are not in the same league as the Gunners. He says “We beat United 3-1 at home and then drew at Old Trafford. They bear no comparison with Arsenal.” No doubt there’s a bit of Gooner left in him, and as a Man City player this kind of comment will do nothing but endear him to his own supporters. Maybe the tide has turned, and it’s our turn to be the top team in English football, but until we win the league again, I’m saying nothing.
Sunderland goalkeeper Thomas Sorenson says he’s flattered to be linked with Arsenal, although he’s had no direct contact with the Gunners. Damn right he should be flattered, he’s shite. The words ‘rat’, ‘sinking’ and ‘ship’ spring to mind here.
It’s 2 days till our birthday here on Arseblog – I’m off to get the Rice Krispie cakes ready. Oh, and cheers to Tom, Kermit and others for an explanation of the C3PO erection card thing. You can find out more here. And I realise that this contant mentioning of the C3PO erection card will do nothing to stop the people visiting here looking for the C3PO erection card. Sorry about that, but anybody who wants a card with a picture of a robot with a diamond cutter needs their head examined.
