Stand Up! – Previewing Scum

Enough Liverpool bashing has been done to keep me sated for a month now. There are only so many Voronin jokes and beach ball jokes you can make before it gets a bit stale. Fortunately for us Arsenal fans, fresh meat has arrived in the form of the scum. North London derbies are always a special occasion (if you’re an Arsenal fan all the more so, barring the one obvious time).

So I was writing ‘Fran is the Man’ when something weird happened. What I felt was a perfectly correct sentence grammatically, was flagged with one of those irritating green squiggly lines. Naturally, the usual ‘Technology, Bah! Microsoft is filled with a bunch of Neanderthals’ emotions were felt. Fully prepared to ‘Ignore Rule’ I right clicked where the error was. And THIS was what came up. (The author  (me) fully recommends you click on the image and view it in full size)

Microsoft Office, I doff my Arsenal cap to you. Programming logic is hard enough, but to incorporate footballing logic into word processing software requires a stroke of brilliance. EVEN MS Word cannot fathom us losing to those jokers.

So there you have it. Common sense dictates we ought to thrash the living daylights out the spuds tomorrow. Sadly our recent encounters have been anything but common or sensible. Particularly painful was the game at the grove last season. 4-2 up at 89 minutes and 4-4 at the whistle. Fortunately BigFourZa hadn’t formed up then, so I was spared the agony of writing about it (as if living it wasn’t bad enough). We’re just going to have to score 7 or 8 this time around and make sure they regret getting out of bed tomorrow.

Robbie Keane has been jerking off to the press. He says the spuds have a better squad then us Apparently one of the reporters thought it was a joke and burst out laughing before being silenced by the dirty looks she was given by the ole Liverpool Reject (Is that joke on Liverpool or Keano you wonder)

He also says:

‘Arsenal may have gotten the better of us in the last 300 years, and even though we’ve said it for the last two decades and ended up with dung on our faces every single time, I have a good feeling that THIS is going to be the year when we finally dislodge Arsenal from the Big Four’

Yawn.

I too like many others feel that Don Vito will keep his place regardless of his transgressions against West Ham now that Lukasz has done himself in again. I’m backing Vermaelen to end his barren run of 4 games without scoring. Knowing him, he’s going to be so angry at our 2 wasted West Ham points he’s probably going to kung fu kick Keane where it hurts the most. And I like so many others cannot wait to see that happen.
