It's midweek. The pointless international friendlies aren't all over yet, some still to be played tomorrow and all. Only France and Russia have good reason to play football with their World Cup playoffs.
I think the November international break is the sickest of its lot.
Gibbs is the latest casualty while Robin probably the most severe. He's going to seek alternative treatment with placenta fluid and there is a whole lot of misinformation about that one. I don't know if it's COW/HORSE or HUMAN placenta. It's just placenta. Hope it helps.
I think we were harping on how gifted Arsenal is at the left-back position. And Kieran goes down. I think that there's a possibility that Tom Vermaelen might deputise there while moving in Senderos or Silvestre to partner Gallas. But in view of Wenger's recent comments about not breaking up the centre-back partnership, I think Silvestre will just slot in at left back.
Bad news all around.
It would be quite fantastic though, to see how the Verminator plays as a full-back. He is quite a complete centre-back with goalscoring ability. I think I want to see his crossing. Our left-backs can't cross even if their lives depended on it.
But of course, the heart of the defence should still be top priority. I think playing Silvestre there instead would be diabolical. Senderos I don't know. I kinda feel that he should be given a chance to come on again. I don't think featuring in the Carling Cup is enough. At this stage in his career, he should be playing more. I would be sad to see him leave. If not for Djourou though, he could well be at Everton.
Okay so there'll be a return to real football action this weekend at Sunderland. Can't wait. Then Liege again midweek. A good chance to all but seal qualification and be a step closer to taking the top spot in the group. Then Chelsea will come along and it's a good chance to see where we all stand after that. So far, Chelsea have been seen as solid title contenders. We'll find out if we're at their standard too.Labels: dying from the lack of Arsenal football, Kieran Gibbs, Robin Van Persie

Robin Van Persie has a girl. Dina Layla Van Persie. Robin doesn't do tattoos so there's no fear of an ugly one.
There is football tonight. Hurray? Not Arsenal though.
I think I shall watch the Czech game. I need some Rosicky. I need to see Rosicky. And football. Saturday's too long to wait. I have many hoops to jump through before Saturday comes. Many many hoops.
Nothing much on the Arsenal front, besides Thomas Vermaelen being player of the month for September. utterly deserving. October will be another issue altogether. Cesc is going to fight him for it.
It's only October and there are tons of transfer rumours and they're just pesky on the newsnow feed. As it stands, the Verminator came in to replace 2 players and he's doing brilliantly so we don't need anyone new. Besides that defensive midfielder when Song leaves for the ACN. I suspect, the returning Nasri might assume that role if he's going to continue where he left off. I still think he's a much better offensive player but who knows? Having an attack minded player mopping up in front of the defence could mean more goals, at both ends of course.
The question is, would you prefer to watch a 1-0 win or a 3-2 win?
I personally don't like leaking goals.
But a win's a win, however the score. So. I think I'd be glad for all the victories the team plays for.
So, I did myself a big big favour over the weekend. I finally got the blue away kit. I think it's gorgeous. Even though the white one is like the same version in a different colour, it's getting all too juicy to resist. Besides the part where it's Sp*rs colour.
And yes, all I am looking forward to is 31st October when we play Sp*rs.
16 days, eh?Labels: dying from the lack of Arsenal football, Robin Van Persie, Thomas Vermaelen, Tomas Rosicky

This pretty much sums up what everyone is feeling.
I am distracted by work. Is so tired, from work. I mean, I've always wanted to take a convenient back seat to everything but I don't know how every damn time, circumstances simply push me to the frontline.
Oh yeah, face the firing squad. Defuse bombs.
I am so tireddd. It's Monday. Since I work every damn day, I just wish time will pass faster. So it's okay that it's Monday and the start of a brand new week. I don't get any reprieve.
The good news is, it's 5 days to football.Labels: dying from the lack of Arsenal football

Google 'Rooney Dive' and you'll see a whole host of interesting results for ugly shrek. The real Shrek is funny. This lookalike is plain boring, imo.
'I am honest'
And then dives in the next game, 2 games in a row.
People think it's characteristic of women to 口是心非，but obviously, Shrek Rooney is on the same bandwagon.
Ever since Ronaldo left, Shrek has been trying in vain to fill his boots, as the greatest cunt in mancuria who mistakes the green green grass of home for the deep sea.
The problem with Eduardo's dive is that we condemn it, we do not defend his ass and he is only receiving sympathy because UEFA, this cock association, is singling him out for punishment when clearly, this is his first time diving (at least in an Arsenal shirt) while the rest of the world out there practically play football in water when they get to the penalty box.
Like oops, slippery.
And I realised that there is no Arsenal football till next Saturday when we play Man City who have Adebayor who is prolly fired up to score against his former club, having scored already in every game this season. That fuckface is a quality player, but he lacks complete professionalism and we can only wait for his decline when he gets bored or when Milan or Barca declare empty interests.
The only thing on show could be how a squad built with balance can whack one with all things bought. It would be an interesting game to say the least. Pundits should be backing City.
After the United game I was pretty glad. No unbeaten record thank you very much. I really hate the unbeaten record. Winning streak is preferable. If draws are many then no unbeaten record thanks. I abhor it. Detest it. It gives a false sense of well being when clearly, the team isn't playing well at all. Hopefully we can resume business as usual at City and in turn, blight their winning start to the season while we start ours.
If City were to break into the top four, it would definitely be at the expense of Liverpool who look completely out of sorts without Alonso. United are coping without Tevez and ROnaldo. Arsenal look a better side without lazy Adebayor and Verm's the perfect replacement for Toure.
Liverpool are simply crumbling. Hate the scousers.
Oh yes, more blogging thanks to a long break from work and then school's starting. :OLabels: dying from the lack of Arsenal football, Eduardo Da Silva, Emmanuel Adebayor, Liverpool, Man City, Shrek Rooney

If there is any good from World Cup qualifiers disrupting the new season, it has to be this:
Except that they can do it everyday in Arsenal colours anyway. Left back-right back love.
In footballing news, it's Chelsea who are hogging the headlines still from being banned from registering new players within the next 2 transfer windows, effectively leaving them with their current aging squad till January 2011.
And I suspect, they will violently appeal and get their wish, because they've got money to throw.
Then we have the revelation of the century where Wayne Rooney says he's an honest player. Um. Right.
This ugly shrek-looking dude was dropped as Mercedes Benz spokesperson because he lacked class. (MB cited the economy as a reason, how convenient)
Evidently.
It's like Steven Gerrard, where being English gives you the right to condemn other divers while they too dive and then declare their honesty. I think these retards have already sold their souls to the devil so that they have the license to say whatever they want and dive like they're surrounded by swampy water instead of grass and not be penalised by the referee, who happens to require coke bottle thick glasses. I suppose green swampy water can pass off as grass while you're green as well? I bet he farts in ogre spa.
I shall stop here and not deprive you of more precious time staring at the above picture of love, joy and happiness. I can't express how much I love these two.

A lot going on in the non-footballing world. Something huge happened and even google thought it was under attack.
Goodbye Mr Jackson, RIP.
The world really cares.
It's funny how everyone was so caught up with the scandalous Iranian elections before and when a pop icon passes on he takes centre stage from a major political crisis.
Entertainment>>>>politics.
Then there's football and we have our own energy generator in the form of rumour mills, like the great windmills of Holland.
Then captain Cesc comes to the rescue and sets the mills on 'pause' mode.
You see, he's not powerful enough to completely destroy those immaculate structures. No one is. Not everyone is Setanta.
And he's Espana. We all know deep down some day that he'll be returning to his motherland. It's just a matter of when.
For now though, he's with Arsenal, he loves the Arsenal and he wants to win things with the squad he leads out of the tunnel.
Then there's Sp*rs, who probably are dying to show up on our radar. You see, they want Arsenal target Bassong. It's quite funny because I don't see him coming to Arsenal. We have Vermaelen. And Newcastle's defence last term was diabolical on all accounts and they can't point all fingers at Colloccini because a defensive partnership is made up of 2. Good luck Sp*rs anyway. We've got the Va Va Verm so you can have Bassong on a platter.
Sp*rs who, hate Arsenal the most simply because they can't catch up to where we are. Hell, they didn't make the Europa league either. We'll see how far they'll go next term when they have full concentration on the league, and most definitely, the Carling Cup.
Right here you have some statistics. They're interesting to say the least. Sp*rs hatred and Chelsea hatred are on par with each other. I don't know about the Chelsea part but we all know that Cuntey Cunt is a major contributing factor. Other than that, I suppose the rest of the team are a bunch of cuntbags as well so that we know.
Personally, I don't really rank my hatred. How do you hate something less when you hate it all the same? Doesn't make sense. They probably should distinguish between hatred and dislike.
I dislike Stoke but I don't hate them. I hate Hull City. I hate Manchester United, Liverpool, Sp*rs. I dislike Sp*rs because I am too lazy to hate them. They kinda make good the position of Clown of the league. Never seem to fail to come up with several jokes. They are indeed a joke, like starting almost every campaign at the bottom of the table, sort of battling relegation for a teeny little while until new manager comes in and gets them a top 10 finish.
There's a bit of football tonight. Gibbs and Walcott will be in action for the U21s. Gibbs would most certainly start at left back but there should be some doubts about Theo since Stuart Pearce is a cuntbag. Some funny Swedish Blackburn dude I've never heard of or saw the need to take note of has went to the papers to public diss Theo. I thought that was funny. Some nobody from a stinkin team has a big mouth.
And finally, someone with immense intelligence. Arshavin has ditched his agent and now represents himself. Dennis Lachter is probably one of the cuntiest agents after Kia Joorabchian.Labels: all things not football-related, Andrei Arshavin, Cesc Fabregas, dying from the lack of Arsenal football, Sp*rs, Thomas Vermaelen, transfer window hoo-ha

I WANT TO WORK AT THE ARMOURY.
There, I said it.
Pics here. It's the release of the new away kit.
How awesome is it to be surrounded by awesomeness and then it gets more awesome when the players come down for an autograph session?
FREAKIN AWESOME.
This is an example for a (quite possibly) low paying job with massive returns on your emotional health because you are guaranteed to go to work and end work a very happy person.
For all things happy, there is the unhappy.
1) Cesc
2) Theo
There isn't much to read into, besides the positives. Cesc is angry and being trophyless. Theo is angry at being dropped and is taking it out on the pitch instead.
With Cesc, it's all about the crazy media stirring the pot wildly. They took one word and made it some huge hoo-ha. I swear it might just be because the word is 'impotence', more commonly used on males who can no longer reproduce like it's their God-given right. At least he didn't say that Arsenal is castrated or something. That would be really bad, assuming Arsenal is a boy. By default the English are all shes right?
Medically, impotence can be reversed if it was caused by a vasectomy. If it's naturally occurring I think it's going to be like that forever and ever.
Bad choice of word Cescy-boy.
But lol. I thought the article was really funny. Earlier I was saying that C Ron was leaving even though he won everything at United and I think anyone would kill be win the things he did and Fab as a player on the world stage, he wants those things to be added to his name as well.
What the pot-stirring cuntbags don't realise that he wants to win these things with Arsenal and no other club so they can twist and turn his words and point it in the direction where it's more scandalous but ultimately, gooners of the world should know clearly where his heart lies.
And if his Euro 08 success was a jinx since he was the only one who started last season with a trophy, Spain crashed out of the Confed Cup to the USA (of all people, but credit when it's due). It's back to Spain who can't perform well on the world stage isn't it? I do get the feeling bloody England are front runners to win the world cup next year.
Then we have Theo, who will be part of the English squad certainly. He was dropped by cunty Pearce and then came back for vengeance in the following game as a sub and could be dubbed the chief influence to their 2-0 win over Spain in the U21 Euros.
Anger ain't a bad thing in football as long as it is directed on the pitch, on the ball, and certainly not at other players.
That's football.
In my own life, happiness is what matters.
I want to work at the armoury!
I might just give an exclusive interview to whoever chooses to print Adebayor on their jersey since he's probably off somewhere.Labels: Cesc Fabregas, dying from the lack of Arsenal football, Theo Walcott
A Little Drunken Madness @ 8:30 PM
After a while, you'll figure out that football ain't all about winning trophies. Completely. It's utter bullshit to Gooners who only desire trophies. Always the talk about winning trophies. Hell, even Thomas Vermaelen said:
"I just want to assure the Arsenal fans that I will give everything for this Club and I hope we can enjoy winning some trophies together next season"
Always the trophy talk. And then at the club with a trophy cabinet possibly full, people are just not happy because either it's too easy or it just sucks to play for Manchester United. I suppose for these people, money comes before trophies. Maybe Tevez might cross over to Citeh and realise that it's shit over there because you can't even win away games let alone trophies.
So it's byebye Tevez and Ronaldo. Ronaldo who hasn't exactly completed his move yet. I already predicted he'll fail his medical when they pick up herpes on their STD detection scanner, of course, if it exists.
I think it's still too early to write off Man Utd. I wonder if Ferg is fuming though, and then thinking about an early retirement heh heh.
On the Arsenal side of things, I really wonder what number Verm is gonna take. If it's '6' then Senderos is definitely off. Kolo's been linked heavily with Citeh and frankly, I have no idea how that will turn out. Now that we're all appeased with a new signing, what's to follow is not another signing but a departure. That's probably the part I hate most, save for old man Silvestre and probably the clown Eboue. Did you know he makes records in Ivory Coast? If his football career doesn't work out he has a plan B. That's quite rare in football I see.
I don't think he'll quit Arsenal if nobody comes for him and I don't see anyone making a move.
It's been rather quiet on the Adebayor front and this fellow just pisses me off on football manager. You can run around dancing when he scores for Arsenal but the goal will just be ruled for offside.
Another part of the game that is somewhat true.
Then it's quite difficult not to go touch the FM editor application and tweak things a little. What did I do? I erased every damned injury on all Arsenal players (Fab, Diaby, Dudu, Bischoff, ROSICKY) and set their injury proneness to like 2/20.
AND THEN YOU HAVE A FULLY FIT ARSENAL SQUAD.
Which exists only in a computer game. Rosa's injury proneness is like 16/20. Might as well make it 20/20.
Anyway the point is, with everyone fully fit, it's difficult to pick the first 11. There is quite a bit of depth in the squad and one that we will never enjoy in real life.
That is just saddening. We're not short on quality, we're just short on luck with injuries.
Which made me realise that Arshavin never got injured big time throughout his season. Besides the stitches he had to get from the Blackburn game and his lack of fitness when he first came. Let's hope next season will continue this way. He really changed the second half of Arsenal's season and it's still a dream to know that he'll be here for a long long time. Still feels like we got him on loan only!!
Filling in for football is my dramas. It's been forever since I watched a Singapore one but who can miss out on a Fann Wong one ahaha. (to many people's dismay I know) Being dragged out on week nights means missing episodes and guess what? Tudou has people (i.e. Singaporeans) who uploaded the series to the web. I am amazed beyond words. Chinese of the world watch Singapore dramas?
They'll always be fed with one consistent feature of Singapore shows:

A Little Drunken Madness @ 1:37 AM
I caught a movie today on my day out.
Taking Pelham 123
In this time and age, we've seem too many movies consisting solely on hijacking. I mean, we had Air Force 1, then we had Speed 2 (no Keanu bahahaa) and basically anything to do with hostage taking can easily be a hijacking on whatever vehicle they're on.
The plot is well thought out, but it's not intense enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, the way Angels and Demons did. For both shows, they were running on a ticking clock but somehow you would have felt it more on A&D even if Taking Pelham 123 had someone dying every minute instead of every hour.
So then you'll be figuring out if I enjoyed the movie at all and I did, because of the two leads who will make any movie work - John Travolta as the baddie and Denzel Washington as the goodie of course. It can never be the reverse.
A rare mini movie review for ya!
In other news, Aaron Carter posted his number on Twitter and it's real. Not that I tested it. I only want candy.
In more other news, Thailand's H1N1 cases has twenty-folded since it's first declaration of the virus. I couldn't laugh more, even though I'm due to go there like next month. Just fuck it really. I'd do better to go there nearer to school reopening so that I can be responsible and isolate myself for 7 days and 7 nights the same way my friend's boyfriend, the HERO of newpaper (shittiest tabloid everrrrrrrrr epic fail X 793486378648967896757644) did.
He will be most commonly known by us as the boyfriend who isolated himself.
And even if I were to be sent to CDC or whatever, I've been preparing my computer for it all. Sims 3, Football Manager, Fallout 3, PES. That'll be enough to occupy me and keep me from boredom till the next millennium.
No actually. I need football. Live football. Live Arsenal football. The U21 Euros in Sweden has proven to be ultra bad substitutes. I want Gibbs and Walcott to triumph but I hate Stuart Pearce.
What conflicting feelings I have.
So apparently my dear country Singapore is expected to move away from the process of contact tracing and quarantining people since it's stretching our resources, not because it's completely stupid. They're treating all this H1N1 shit like SARS when it isn't that bad. Take the cue from your greatest ally on mother earth - US doctors just tell their patients to wear a mask and get well soon.
And so not torture people to the point of insanity by keeping them in isolation. If only the movie Moon was to be released in Singapore. Everyone should love Sam Rockwell.
The flu is coming, whether we like it or not. An imposed hospital stay should not be $400 per day just for the flu with no decent television and internet, as TTSH claims.
That's about all the dirt the Singapore media wants since they have nothing else to report on, after rape, theft and assault, rape being the hot hot hot hot favourite where the victim is left scarred for life.
Until Jet Li became a Singapore citizen.
Bwahaha.
srsly. We're the new Monaco of Asia I see. Is China's taxation that bad?
So. I don't suppose this is a football blog anymore. Heh.
Ah. Draft fixtures here.
Arsenal.com has already given the lo-down on it so I don't think I need to analyse or over-analyse because it is what it is.
We play at St Andrews only in March 27 next year so hopefully dudu will be flying already and can go there and no one gets all emo about it while we continue hating Martin Taylor yes.
Lastly, no one is going to forget Newcastle United. I think their progress in the Championship will be highly scrutinised with no good reason. That's a lot of unnecessary pressure really. Anyhow, it's going to be a premier league clash in the championship when they face West Brom on the opening day.
I can only laugh.Labels: all things not football-related, dying from the lack of Arsenal football, Newcastle, one of my many theories, Theo Walcott
