Sorry, it’s mainly footie talk today. The Arsenal-Bolton match last night wasn’t shown live for some reason, yes, how outrageous. I still got up to watch the Liverpool-Spuds game in the hope of getting some info on the other match at the Emirates. It was during half-time at Anfield when I heard that Captain Marvel just equalised and the score was tied at two all. And how outrageous that the goals at the Emirates were not shown on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen!
I only found out later from the BBC Sports that we made a stunning comeback, no thanks to vulnerable defence, from two goals down to hit the summit. With the other contenders seemingly not wanting to win the race since the home match which we lost 52 days ago, it looks like Arsenal stumbled onto the top spot almost by mistake. What a turnaround, eh; imagine where we’d be if we haven’t got so many crocked players. The match was not without a drama of course as there was an incident involving Gallas, which Wenger apologised for after the match. But I doubt that was the turnaround: that incident didn’t change the game; surely the tide had turned even before half-time when Rosický halved the deficit. Man of the match: Captain Fabulous Marvel – he really is the heart and soul of Arsenal now and he is proud to be part of the team. For full report, go here.
Maybe it’s timely for Nick Hornby to produce a sequel to Fever Pitch, with Cesc as the central figure.
Side note: OMG, ManUre’s debts are now a staggering £716 million. *Gulp*

My scabs have fallen off leaving ugly, ugly scars especially on my left knee. Boo hoo. And my right calf is hurting all of a sudden. How do footballers cope with the intensity and rigour of the game? I don’t even play and I get injured.
