Ughhhhh.
We’re getting good at this, aren’t we?
Toothless. ‘Good at defending’, said Arsene. What rot. There was nothing to defend. It’s a bit like Israel being asked ‘So, how about that Gaza, eh, that’s a bit crap isn’t it?’ and them responding ‘No, I think we’re defending very well’.
Toothless, despite the introduction of Carl for the injured Eboue, which I think everyone was hoping would show him for the Mexican wonderboy he might be. It wasn’t so.
It would be wrong to say that I’m celebrating it, but in honour of his injury I have composed a few short verses to Emmanuel Eboue, and all his knowledge of What Arsene Did Last Summer. Bear with me – it’s to the tune of a famous pop song:
I know you know What Arsene Did
It won’t excuse your being shit
But you don’t really care for football do ya?
It goes like this – we’re fourth, we’re fifth
Though Spurs will fall and give us a lift
We’re all still delighted that you’re injured
Oh Eh-boo-eh
Oh Eh-boo-eh
Oh Eh-boo-eh
You are inn, in-in-in, in-in jured
Feel free to add your own verses if you fancy it.
On the plus side we didn’t lose, and our unbeaten run continues. Why Van Persie wasn’t playing I’ll never understand. Arsenal have scored 8 goals in January. Robin Van Persie has scored 3, and has 5 assists. 3 and 5 equals? You do the maths. Nicklaus Bentdner is, let us make no mistake, bad at playing football.
It’s doubly frustrating since Villa drew too, and though I never thought I’d find myself writing this it’s important that we try to close the gap on Villa before things get really out of hand, particularly given the fixture flurry headed our way what with replays and CL.
I’m not talking about transfers. It’s too sad.
But you can, if you like.
