Life’s too short to stay sober

England is the land of opportunities. Actually, it's America.

I learnt a valuable lesson today: do not watch Britain's Got Talent while eating.

You might throw up. There is so much more bad than good. I caught episode 5 of season 3 which aired on Saturday and they went to Birmingham. Apparently there aren't talented people there. Gareth Barry might want to go on stage and perform magic or something. Like a vanishing act and say sayonara, I'm appearing in Liverpool. 3 yeses to that?

Martin Tayor could show how he did his horror studs out tackle for no reason since the player wasn't even going on goal and he'll get 3 Xs before he starts. And then 3 nos.

Birmingham, city of cunts.

Normally entertainment comes from America. But Simon Cowell created BGT and it's got me hooked.

Imagine Adebayor and Eboue going on stage and performing a dance for BGT. Confirm 3 NOs. Although Adebayor makes a better dancer than a footballer so that means he really sucks at kicking a ball. His commitment level is attrocious and he has all summer to fix that or say goodbye. Could do the same vanishing act as Gareth Barry. I doubt he'll be staying at Villa after their failed campaign. I do remember Arsenal being interested but fell short at the price tag, which is always the case. Wenger always wants quality at a bargain and I'm not sure how that is beneficial. In the case of Arshavin, it could have been more but because he was cup-tied for the Champion's League, that greatly reduced the transacted price.

And now we've all been left to imagine how things would have turned out if he had been playing in our European games. If we got him last summer and paid, perhaps, 5-10 million more, the outcome of this season could have been dramtically different.

But that's a gamble the boss doesn't seem to want to take ever. He likes to balance the books as much as balancing the team but it somehow shows that he does his financial planning better.

Experienced players are what we need now and he says he needs 2 so we'll be waiting for those 2 arrivals amidst the big names more linked with Man Citeh. They want David Villa with Valencia's financial woes but Villa is a player who would take pay cuts just to stay at the team he loves. How often do you get that? Villa to Man City is definitely not happening unless Valencia forces him out of the club. A more probably destination if he had to leave would be Pool to join Torres and that would make me throw up my lunch more than watching BGT while eating.

Of course, we all know Villa is best mates with Cesc but I don't see that happening because we want Villa but what we want doesn't coincide with what Arsene wants.

Some things we just know for sure.

Anyway, in response to last night's game, the boss couldn't have put in any better. We can be completely negative or just be positive. If we had won Wenger might see even lesser of a need to go out and spend the money. Losing now is way better than losing come next season. If next season is anything similar to this season I think we might all join that unfortunate gooner who hung himself. Of course, we won't actually do it. Just figuratively, die on the inside, be numb, so when the team loses we can just say whatever.

Which will not happen because I don't believe Gooners have hearts of stone for their team.

For all the passion we have, we truly need some repayment via results. Even when results do not go as expected, we still love the team and look to the future. The future is what matters. Death cannot change anything. If I had to be brutal, it didn't look like that poor Gooner's death changed any of the results anyway. The team still crashed to Chelsea.

So death is never the solution. It's just normal to want to die but not carry it out. Heh.

There's an entire summer to make it right. Since 4th is all but secured, it is time to turn our attention to the other end of the table. Phil Brown and Hull going down would cheer us all up and they aren't really doing themselves any favours by losing and losing. How many times have you checked the league table and saw Hull stagnant at 34 points? hahahaha.

Tonight, it's Newcastle vs Boro and the winner will drag Hull into the bottom 3 with them out of it. Or at least on level points with Hull with only goal difference to separate the positions. If those 2 teams draw though, it'll be complete and utter rubbish. Hull City face Man Utd on the final fixture of the season so their prospects are really slim. The only way we can make Man Utd fight for a win against Hull is if we beat them at Old Trafford, with United needed the points to secure the title.

And if we lose at Old Trafford, they'll win the title and we'll be watching them lift the trophy. Frankly, some people are anticipating such a scenario but I don't see how it wouldn't help the players. If they love Arsenal so much they should let it happen. If it happens though, perhaps it could be burnt on their hearts that they should fight to do the same in the coming seasons when the opportunity arises. Sometimes these things aren't all bad. If humiliation can bring out the passion then why not.

The only problem would be if they didn't care.

In essence, to orchestrate the banishment of Hull to the championship, we need to win at Old Trafford. Phil Brown and Brian Horton can take their spitting hallucinations with them out of the top flight and justice will be done.

BGT is going to be summer reprive from all the speculation the media is going to cook up.
