Mid-Summer Madness

Even with the new season seemingly in a galaxy far far away there seems to be a bit of activity at Arsenal at the moment. We have signed a top quality player in Thomas Vermaelen who was The Ajax captain so you know he will be quality and has a bit of attitude as well, I was trying to find something interesting about him but he is a Belgian, and nothing from Belgium is interesting, even when they invented chips the French nicked the idea and called then French Fries, so no nothing in Belgium is interesting other that Beveran the team we have an association with where Ya Ya Toure came through and we let him go and now we want to buy him back and he wont come, now that is a little bit interesting.

So, Adebayor is probably off with a bit of luck and Setanta has gone belly as well so I get my Arsenal TV for free at the moment, luvley jubley.

Yes, as pleased as I am about the signings and the right noises coming from the transfer department at the Grove the real bonus so far for me is getting rid of Setanta’s version of the Krankies John Champion and that odious side kick of his Craig Burley, I am delighted to see the back of them, its just a pity that Jamie Rednapp wasn’t on their books as well the Arsenal hating git.

So how are you doing, have you had a row with the partner yet? are you surviving the closed season or are you counting down the days? Its all pretty crap at the moment as we witness the annual deterioration of the various English national teams at everything, however the one bright light seems to be the under 21’s performances on the European Championships, they play Germany in tomorrow night’s final with Kirran Gibbs looking absolute quality and Theo looking very ordinary.

Next up for me is the Ashes since we blew the Lion tour in South Africa and I will be making my way to Lords for one day to see us play the Aussies, yep the closed season has reduced me to crazed person looking for a sports fix where I can vent my spleen or sing someone’s adulation and any sport going at the moment.

One thing that was a bit of a surprise was the new away shirt, so the well founded rumours about returning to the old Green and Blue was half right, we got Blue and do you know what? I like it, I like it because it is sort of a polo shirt design, yeah, I may get myself one of those this year with Gibbs or Wilshere on the back.

The season will get underway for us hardy followers of Pre Season friendlies with a trip to Barnet on the 18th July before they fly off to Austria fore the pre season training. I understand that the friendlies are going to be shown on TV and I am hoping to make the trip to Hannover in person.

So my two season ticket’s are paid for and the seasons fixtures are in, so now we have Sky getting their pound of flesh and rearranging all of the fixtures for TV, now we should be lucky on this because we finished fourth they will be trying to show Man United, Chelsea and the Scousers on their prime TV spots on Sundays so with a bit of luck we could have quite a few Saturday games this season like we did last season, bloody brilliant.

So that’s it, I am now back in footballing mode and I need to get some helpers in to help with this website, if you fancy it then just contact us here and we will be glad to get back to you.
