Would do very nicely today. Apart from the death bit. I don’t wish that on anyone.
The biggest match of the season, apart from the matches we’ve already had including Manchester United and Chelsea, and the matches we’ve yet to come, including Manchester United and Chelsea again.
But seriously (although it feels as if we have to say this all the time) this is a make or break moment for the side: win and we’ll close the gap on Liverpool to five points – a lead which everybody knows is completely conquerable, particularly given the shiny new squad members which are undoubtedly going to arrive in January. Lose and we’re sunk, and the rats will start leaving in January.
Nasri’s back, which might make a fair bit of difference: he gives us the Piresian width we lacked so badly against Boro. Whilst he’s looked promising so far his injuries habit is becoming very irritating. I hope he grows out of it, and doesn’t end up dead like Tom Rosicky. It’s also high time Cesc had a big game, if you’re asking me. Which you’re probably not. But then again, you’re reading this, so you can at least pretend to for a bit. Cesc ought to be doing that thing he did at the start of last season where he scores lots and lots of goals.
There isn’t much to report on the Bracers shares debacle, although with time from the event everything is predictably calming down quite a lot. I’m hopefully meeting my top-secret inside source tomorrow, from which point I’ll no doubt be able to give you Grabbers a unique inside-track on what’s going on.
Until then, come on you reds. I’ll take a couple of goals like this, thanks very much…
In other news, yesterday I felt like my life was becoming too purposeful so I reinstalled Championship Manager 2000-2001, and I must say they did get quite a lot of things wrong. I mean quite a lot right, too, but quite a lot wrong. For instance, the game doesn’t feature, on any level, Cesc, Ronaldo, Drogba, Messi or lots of other great players. Given the amount everyone talks about how comprehensive their databases are, those are four pretty big omissions for players who looked good from a very early age…
This is, you’re right, slightly sad of me. But if anyone can remember any really good players from 2000-2001 I’d be delighted to hear them…

You’re a fuckin moron with a shitty piece of blog
“6-0″?You’re one of the idiots who jinx our games by going all foolish in the build-up with these sort of scores. You’re the reason why we’ll possibly lose today.
Next time, spend time fuckin your foolish, slutty mom and close this shitty piece of space on our internet.
FUCK YOU DUDE. GO FUCK UR SELF AND UR MOM

Samson. What the fuck are you on about!? YOU’RE the moron son. Its obviously a joke, im pretty confident he doesnt think we’re going to storm to a 6-0 win, in the same way he doesnt really want Gerrard dead.

yeah samson
chill out mate
its very easy to get brave on the internet…
December 21st, 2008 at 2:12 pm
sorry, but samson is spot on, its completely tasteless, and the joke is not funny. John bhoys – not every joke is acceptable – and this isnt, this blog has proven to be one of the worst. Tasteless fart.

The Gerrard bit is stupid – it annoyed me too.
But that guy was banging on about the prediction, which was clearly a joke.
And speaking of tasteless,
“Next time, spend time fuckin your foolish, slutty mom and close this shitty piece of space on our internet.
FUCK YOU DUDE. GO FUCK UR SELF AND UR MOM” Good one.

disagree, this blog is one of the worst! what a stupid asshole
December 21st, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Chaps, I’m sorry people seem to be so upset about my headline. All I was trying to do was make a point about the hysteria people get into online about things. I think it might have been proven.
Of course I would never wish ill on poor Stevie Gerrard, and I would hate to think that I might jinx this afternoon’s result…
December 21st, 2008 at 2:33 pm
i’m going to side with samson on this one. Grabber, you alone are the reason that we will possibly lose today. Any defeat will have nothing to do with either the inadequacies of our team, the comparative adequacies of Liverpool’s team, or the simple fact that sometimes Arsenal lose football games – it will all be down to your preposterous prediction which Arsene will no doubt read out to his boys in the dressing room pre-match and inspire them with all sorts of zany ideas. shame on you grabber, shame on you and your/our “shitty piece of blog”.

See what I said. I’m glad the majority see my point and of course, share similar opinions about this blog.
Seriously, this shit a waste of time and space.
December 21st, 2008 at 7:03 pm
not that good on irony, are you samson? anyway, what did you think of today’s performance?
