Would you believe it!!!
Sometimes in life, you realise there are things you only realise you can't live without once
it's gone. For me today, the realisation is one to do with computer. My laptop died on me today and
suddenly there's a huge void in my life. Luckily, I've managed to borrow one but I'm sure that's
not what you want to read.
Why is the boss only interested in you and not me?
The Arsenal world has gone mad for Thierry Henry. No, it's not 2007. You don't have to put on
your reading glasses, you read it correctly the first time. Arsene Wenger released this statement
and debate rages on everywhere about it. When it comes to this man, the judgement can be
clouded.
Apparently, and I take this information from my Twitter feed (confident in the fact that Twitter
has never, ever been wrong about anything), today is the 125th birthday of Arsenal Football
Club.
Was it on this very day somebody said 'Let's make a football team and let's call it Dial Square'
before somebody not too shortly afterwards said, 'Dial Square is a terrible name for anything, let
alone a football club.
At the beginning of the season it was fair to say that Arsenal were playing shit.
We seemed a bigger shambles than a pissed up David Hasselhoff trying to eat a hamburger.
At the time there many people jumping on an RIP Arsenal Football Club bandwagon. A bandwagon that
was gaining more speed than Keanu Reeves on a bus.
I keep seeing these rumours Arsenal are in the hunt for Lukas Podolski and I have to admit that it
excites me a little.
Of course, they are only rumours, but if there was some truth in the talk around town,
then he would be an ideal acquisition to the squad.
He has plenty of experience at the top-level in football and can play as striker or as a wide
player.
It's not every day you turn 125. And let's face it, there aren't many who can claim to be such
an age. Arsenal Football Club, some man in Japan who has lived off a diet of fresh fish and
roadside herbs for his entire life, and Joan Rivers.
We'll return to that landmark for the club in a little while but first we'll turn attention to
the game today against Everton.

Arsenal Football Club was originally founded in 1886 by employees of the the Dial Square workshop
at the Royal Arsenal, which was an armaments factory in South-East London, in a district named
Woolwich. Consequently, they were first named 'Dial Square' A Scotsman, David Danskin is the man
said to have bought the first football for the club.
By 1970's Gooner How will Henry fit into this Arsenal team? I was at the Emirates Cup as a guest of
Arsenal Football Club and I had the chance to see Henry play against us. I was not impressed. He
played as the front man in a 4 5 1 formation and was not up to it. He was too slow and didn't have
the pace to chase down balls.
