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.

Doesn't a head butt on Ljungberg count for anything? It's bad enough that Silvestre plays for the Arsenal given the fact that he's a <insert vile swear word insinuating oddities about his sexuality here> but to give him the captain's armband? That simply is stretching it.

Monsieur Wenger, you know I have been a vociferous fan and that I've never EVER spoken ill of you.

And that Ladies and Gentlemen is the beginning of Liverpool's season. Thanks and Keep watching.

Remember, We did this to you.

This will be the biggest thing in a couple of years. Just like UEFA have done with their Champions League, we will do with this. This will be to cricket what the... er... Champions League is to football.

To all ye doubters who mocked at my observation of some other tournament being the clear inspiration for this tournament.

If god came to me and asked me to pick one game where we were going to switch off and let in a late equalizer thereby letting go of 2 points I'd have picked AZ Alkmaar in the Champions League group stages without blinking an eye. This phenomenon was something that I feel was our undoing last season (apart from the fact that we were pretty poor otherwise too).

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the end of Liverpool's season. Thank you for watching.

I simply couldn't resist that.
