A Round Up of all Things Arsenal

Forgive my prolonged absence. It is absolutely unpardonable, though fact is that the average arsefan has had so much more than just my small space to keep them entertained over the past couple of weeks which have been fantastic. The Arsenal has posted its Q1 results and they have been emphatic. The dividends that have been paid out to us have more than compensated our investment of time and passion. A spectacular return of 55 goals in all competitions already, 38 of which have come in the league. The naysayers who were extremely skeptical before the IPO at the start of the season are now coming out in droves talking up our chances and the probability that we’re going to break the 100 goal barrier. (As you can see, it’s been a busy time at the workplace).

Chelsea – Man United: FAQs

Q. What exactly happened here?

A. Darren Fletcher won the ball and Ashley Cole jumped up into the air. Martin Atkinson promptly scurried across and awarded Chelsea the ‘foul’. The rest, as they say, is the rest of this post.

Remember Remember, the 8th of November

Remember Remember, the 8th of November
All those who laughed at him on the Moscow pitch
He reminds you, Payback’s a heartless bitch
For when the going’s tough, and devils block your way
Like a sunbeam from heavens, He rises
The Hero of the Day

JT – Captain, Leader, Legend

This was billed as a classic. Games don’t come much bigger than Chelsea v Man Utd. And players don’t come much bigger than John Terry. So, it was fitting that he grabbed the only goal in what was a close affair.

Hello! van der vaart

Apart from John O’Shea, combs , certain other articles which are used  to scratch your back but generally aren’t meant to be used that way and Carlton Palmer  there are only very few things that can be termed as multipurpose. One of them is the word “Hello”. You receive a call you say “Hello” as a greeting. When you don’t hear the speaker’s voice properly you shout “Hello, Hulloh, Halo, Hallow” on the mouth piece not realising that you are the one who is not able to hear and that shouting can never improve the phone’s reception capacity or your hearing capacity. Now, I am out of ideas. So let’s go to the next paragraph.

Of all the ways in which the word Hello can be used, I hate the addressing unknown personalities as “hello”. The reason is, I am now a “hello” in my workplace. The fact that I am on a temporary assignment made my temporary colleagues realize that burdening their already burdened memories with my name would be a very bad idea. I expressed this feeling of being totally unwanted to one of my friends who said “Imagine how van der vaart would be feeling. All your worries will evaporate into oblivion.” This came at a time when i was preparing a draft for my would-have-been-if-not-for-the-dialogue post about the results of the other big four in the champions league. Now that the dialogue had been delivered let us now concentrate on van der vaart, Real Madrid’s one of the many Hellos.

Remember, remember…

Remember, remember, the 6th of November,

Post-Busby, Munich and all,

There’s no reason why, including 3 on the trot,

The Alex Fergie era, should ever be forgot.

A bird in hand...

It is slightly disconcerting to think that this man has been on this job for just about 55 days less than the time I’ve been on this earth. That should put the magnitude of this achievement in some sort of perspective.
