There is not a lot to discuss today, in fact there is pretty much nothing. There are no signings happening at the moment nor is anything remotely close by the sounds of it. So i will discuss a couple of things non Arsenal related and then reveal all about my hoodoo with having names on the back of my Arsenal shirts.
Right first up is Spurs going 9 points clear. We have given them the lead, so now lets watch them screw it up. They have a really tough end of January threw till March, a couple of injuries will no doubt occur through that time and i would be surprised if they can keep up their form. While we will be welcoming back our full backs (hopefully) and Wilshere. Enough on that.
Man City are in a spot of bother now that injuries are mounting up. Shows that if you take the spine of a team out in Kompany, Yaya and Silva then you will struggle even against the non footballing entity that is Liverpool. I hate both teams but right now i hate Liverpool more, at least Man City know how to play good football even if it was bought by a billionaire. I really don't care if Nasri wins the Carling Cup. Speaking of Nasri, there is a video out of Liverpool fans taunting him while driving along the road to which he actually responds from his own vehicle, while it is of course amusing and will no doubt become a hit, it was highly dangerous and isn't something that people should take a habit of doing.
Lastly on the Man City vs Liverpool game, i think Johnson's tackle was a red card as well. Two footed off the ground, which you can't do. I really don't care if he got the full ball and none of the player, Lescott was centimeters away from having his foot behind that lunge. I actually think it was worse than the Kompany challenge. The stupid thing is, Kompany sees red and has a 4 match ban, Johnson sees nothing and won't get any sort of punishment after. A crazy system of law our football world lives under.
Right here is the list of names i have got on my Arsenal shirts over the years and try to not be amazed at how badly it has turned out for a lot of them. Reyes, it was all looking up for him for a bit, he never scored that many goals but got quite a few assists. I still love him as a player and wish he had never left the club but alas he left after 1 season of having him on the back of my shirt. Next up was Adebayor, i got him before anybody remotely even liked him. I was definitely the only one with him on the back of the shirt, then he scored 30 goals in a season and more and more people had him. I thought i had picked a good one this time....now i hate him for obvious reasons. Think im going to cross his name out and write Kanu on the back.
Next up, is Eduardo although i had his nickname Dudu because lets face it, that is so much funnier and original. Going swimmingly and then boom leg broken. A player that all the fans loved and we will all respect but alas did not make it at Arsenal. Then i got Djourou, going well with the record of not losing in something like 28 games even if it was spread across 3 seasons from injury. He then managed to go backwards at the end of last season (but then so did many players), he has had his ups and downs this season...a solid 4th choice defender to have. Then i got Ramsey, i stress after the leg break though. He is pushing on and going from strength to strength (touch wood). I am hoping Ramsey is ending my hoodoo curse on shirt names but i am thinking that maybe i should get Squillaci on the back of a shirt to speed up his exit from the club.
Right that is it for the day. Hopefully there will be more news tomorrow.
