15.45 – I dunno about you, but I find people who lack the most basic of manners or ability to show common courtesy really fucking annoying. Twice in recent weeks I’ve read somebody’s blog and they’ve asked a question or looked for advice, to which I have sent a reply via email because I happened to know something about their particular problem. Neither of them have bothered to acknowledge my email. I’m not looking for a flowery, supplicant reply gushing with goodwill and gratitude, but a simple ‘Thanks’ is not too much to expect, is it?
Anyhow, on to football. Arsenal nearly sign another Polish goalkeeper, according to Football365. Bobby Robson is full of praise for this Arsenal team, saying they’re one of the best teams he’s ever seen. High praise, from a man who’s been around so long, he’s seen practically every team there ever was. In another article, he reveals that he could have been Arsenal manager. He was offered, and accepted, the job, but Porto, his club at the time, reneged on an agreement to let him go if a bigger club came in for him. I suppose it’s all worked out for the best. We have Arsene Wenger, and Sir Bobby is managing his home town club.
Anyway, we’ve got more or less a full squad to choose from. The only notable absentee is Freddie Ljungberg, who has suffered a slight reaction to his achilles injury, and so sits this one out. Ashley Cole though will play, despite nursing a groin inujry that could see him miss games between now and the end of the season.
Right, that’s it for today. My red wine induced hangover is just getting worse as the day goes on. I’m gonna go sit in the sun, and see if that helps.
