What a match that was against Leeds. I know you saw it, so I won't go into all the gory details.
Needless to say it was a thrilling match with a lot of back-and-forth play, featuring some stunning
goals. Sagna blasted home a real cannon that the ghost of Schmeichel was unable to parry (check out
my previous post for a picture of Sagna on top of the world with a goblet of fire wine while the
Millenium Falcon flies overhead).
It's a strange thing, but must admit that I had a dream about Thomas Vermaelen. No. Not one of
those dreams.
But since I haven't seen him play in so long, he showed up everywhere, like in 'Being John
Malkovich'. His face was plastered on every body as though it were some elaborate CGI joke
masterminded by James Cameron.
I added a new wallpaper called The Pitch. I started with a simple picture from the stands of a
game in progress. After removing all the players and adding some splashes of color and the Arsenal
crest, I think I ended up with a beautiful minimalist wallpaper that will satisfy the heart of any
gooner.
I don't need to tell you that Arsenal thumped West Ham in a convincing 3-0 win. I also don't
need to tell you that it was a huge return to form for most of the squad, save for Eboue. But, what
I do need to tell you is that Robin Van Persie has finally made me the fool. Several weeks ago I
wrote about how unconvinced I was of Robin van Persie's return to form, in particular that Chamakh
is capable of delivering more.
It's a sad state of affairs when the most exciting news out of the Arsenal camp is photographs
of Henry training with the squad. Yes, transfer deals and team news are interesting, but few
stories will get the blood of a gooner pumping like that of Henry in an Arsenal kit. It's a great
time to remember the peak of the Henry era given how tenuous things are at the moment.
Hello.
My brother's girlfriend has started to use the more-southern pronunciation of terrible as
turrible. It's a great way of saying that something is terrible while simultaneously trying to eek
out a laugh at the situation. I think it's an apt way to describe Arsenal's performance against
Ipswich.
Apparently when I make fun of an Arsenal player by saying he has a funny celebration face, I'm a
terrible, terrible human being. I made this just to show that I'm not.
Here is Andrei Arshavin, The White Knight of Arsenal, using his patented "Two Goals At Once"
trick, riding atop his trusty Unicorn steed 'Belyh Faksov', while wielding a lightsaber.
What's the deal with Arshavin's celebration face? It's like a cross between a lizard having an
orgasm and a lactose intolerant elephant seal that ate 2 blocks of cheddar cheese. What a mug on
that guy.
Eboue is a complex man. He has nice outfits. He jumps like a frog.
I just finished uploading my latest wallpaper, featuring none other than Marouane Chamakh. He's
been a welcome addition to the squad and this photo of him was just perfect. Take a look!
Would it explain everything if Arshavin required absolute silence in order to play football? I
think the criticism against him is a bit too much. Which is why I made this... I really like
Arshavin. He's a great player and I think we're a better squad with him, but not necessarily a
starter every match.
This has been yet another tumultuous season for Robin Van Persie, at least in the sense that it
has been full of missed games due to injury and fitness. Fortunately the table doesn't provide any
indication that our star striker has been sidelined, primarily due to Chamakh.
Chamakh has been a natural fit.
