Arsenal
hosted Montpellier last night in a bid to secure progression into the last 16. I
watched the Gunners laboured in the first half and went back to bed (well, I had
to get up for work). The Gunners improved after a forgettable first half and we
won by goals thanks to Jack and Poldi, both from the increasingly indispensableGiroud assists. Jack scored his first goal after 2 years while Poldi scored an
absolute screamer and the more I see it, the more I think it’s reminiscent of a
certain Dutch skunk’s strike. You can watch it here or on Arsenal Player. Indeed,
it’s a contender for goal of the season in Europe.
Jack’s back alright
What
a déjà vu the past few weeks have been. We started off the season pretty much
like last season with haters saying we were in crisis yet again – after all, we
did spend two successive summers selling our captains – and the first two
goalless matches seemed to bear testimony to this. And then the defeats (but
ahem, ManUre have had three defeats too and Chelshit two). It seemed that
Chelshit would be breezing through the season what with summer acquisitions of
Hazard and Oscar to add to Mata and indeed they were topping the league. Then suddenly
they started having a crisis too, just like last season and before you could
blink, ruthless Abramovich had sacked di Matteo and hours later appointed
Benitez to the hot seat. Speaking further of déjà vu, we spanked a similar
scoreline against the scums, mashing the Spuds and slaughtering the chickens. Déjà
vu, eh?

My
handsome sweet pie nephew aced his exam! I had promised to take him on a trip
and now we are really going, insyaAllah! My other nephew didn’t fare so well
though. Yes, you can say it’s just Standard 6 exams but to me, so why can’t one
even make the grades for this? And now there’s talk of abolishing major exams. The
education system here has gone to the dogs but if exams are abolished, how do
we know the standards of our students? How do we test their understanding of
what’s taught? How do we gauge their learning? Sure, learning can be done in
more fun effective way but I’m not sure abolishing exams is the way to go.
