September 5th
Mosquitos are cunts and welcome to a new week here on Arseblog. We’re still slap bang in the middle of the internationals so proper football news is still fairly thin on the ground. Thierry Henry told the News of the World he misses Patrick Vieira but says it’s up to the players still at the club to write a new era in the history books.
That’s going to be with the young players and again the manager is singing their praises, saying “Take the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Jose Reyes, Mathieu Flamini and Philippe Senderos. They are brilliant players, as are Gael Clichy, Justin Hoyte and Emmanuel Eboue. My job is to convince my players they can be the best.”
How little news is there? Well, we’re getting stories about transfers that might have happened. Like Robert Pires to Benfica – although their interest in Bob was real but they might have had more success had they gone through the proper channels and spoken to the club. Arsenal win the Ashes. Well, not quite but we’re helping England bowler Simon Jones to recover from injury by letting him use our patented Injury-B-Gone 3000©™ machine at London Colney.
Thanks to reader Graham who sent me this picture of the new Man United store in Hong Kong. The name just couldn’t be more appropriate. And that’s it. Tomorrow I’ll have some these books to give away thanks to my chums at Sidan Press and later in the week there’ll be a new t-shirt from Harderthansatan.com. That should help ease the tedium of internationals. Oh yes.
