september 23rd
I’ll begin today with an apology to any Jesuits who might have been offended by yesterday’s blog. We all know it’s the fucking Carmelites that are the lushes. Oh yes.
Thankfully we can leave the bible and God back where it belongs, in a drawer in a cheap dresser in cockroach infested hotel room, there’s plenty of Arsenal goodness going on this morning. I just don’t know where to start.
The Carling Cup is a good one, and in one of those Boro moments we’ve been drawn to play Manchester City. No doubt it’s going to be our kids again, as the boss has said he’d sacrifice the FA Cup this season, but we’ve got a good crop and hopefully they can give a good account of themselves. It will mean first team action for the likes of Clichy, Cesc, van Persie and possibly Philippe Senderos, although the promising centre-half may have to wait a while as AW is not keen on chucking him into first team action just yet.
However he is happy to see Sol Campbell back, like the rest of us I suspect. Speaking about his reserve team outing the other night the boss said “It was great to see him out there. Sol gives us physical strength, recovery power and he is our most experienced player at the back. We want him back because his influence since he arrived at the club has been massive.”
If Mathieu Flamini ever makes the first team at Arsenal his song has to be some take on ‘We are family’, doesn’t it? “Ma-thieu Fla-mi-ni, something something something de deee.” Suggestions?
There’s a good piece on Arseweb about singing and the lame songsheet thing that went around and an interesting piece on Arsenal Mania about lots of stuff and not one thing in particular, and this piece on new blog Arsenal Times makes a good point in reponse to this on Arsenal.con but in this day and age corportate is where the big money is and big money is what the clubs, not just Arsenal, want. Make hay while the sun shines and all that. And correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t 20/20 the people who designed our abortion of a new logo? Just curious.
And that’s your lot for today. I have to go and buy some shinpads, having played football last week for the first time in ages I got a right kick on my left shin and the bruise is only just going down now. Luckily I get to kick the fucker back tonight!
