Not so much to talk about today. We’re no longer in the Carling Cup, which is a bit, well, meh, isn’t it? I try very hard to get worked up about this sort of thing, but you can’t always do well in the Carling Cup, and it would be far worse if players like Cesc Fabregas were becoming demoralised and tired from losing away at Burnley than Nick Bendtner, say, who as far as I’m concerned can be as tired and as demoralised as he wants just at the moment, the couldn’t-hit-a-barn-door bastard.
Jay Simpson might go to Norwich. I know people will talk about this young player and his facial hair, but for me the real interest in him at this point is that he’s the second part of the name of America’s favourite yellow father (and not the Chinese sort), as you discover in the episode where you discover that the ‘J’ in Homer ‘J’ Simpson stands simply for ‘Jay’.
I think perhaps his nickname should be ‘Homer’.
Gael Clichy says we can’t afford to drop points, which is a bit like me saying I don’t need any more muffins, in that it will probably happen anyway, and Gael will feel sad for saying it. I think Gael Clichy should stop speaking to the press for a little while, anyway.
Anyway, that’s about all for today. I leave you to continue the chant competition to win our signed photo of Bacary Sagna (signed by him, not by us). For my two pennies’ worth, there must be something doable with the Vampire Weekend song ‘Walcott’…?

Leave the kid alone. He played a blinder at Stamford bridge especially in the second half. Its their obdurate performance that we beat those Chavs. I loved the fact that they whined: offside for Van Persie and Kalou. Hahahaha, how sweet is it that its now them who are losing and whining.
