Leave Johnny Foreigner alone, you!

So England will probably fail to qualify for Euro 2008 this weekend, boo hoo. It's convenient that several managers and players (including Stevie MBE) are blaming the influx of foreign players for England's International shortcomings. Fergie started all this off by saying Arsenal had too many in their team, even though in United's next game following his whiskey-fuelled outburst, he fielded 8 foreigners in his side. This debate doesn't have any legs in my opinion; I'm obviously on Arsene's side on this one; there's a great piece in 442 this month where he says that since football is arguably the most popular global televised sport, what better way to show how different nations can come together as a team and work towards success? Which other fields do we see this? It may be an idealistic viewpoint but I think its a very valid one; having quotas on foreign players sounds like a plan straight from the pages of the Daily Mail if you ask me; our game in this country is now richer and more popular than ever before, don't blame the arrival of Johnny Foreigner just because the FA has an inept selection committee or a manager that is clearly less able than most club managers in the Premiership...

Still not got t'internet at home, been spending the last two weeks painting and decorating, still got a fair bit to do, mind, Sarah Beeny would be very proud. I'd like to think that those skills you're supposed to pick up automatically when you become a dad (being able to do DIY, re-wire a house, build a fence, etc.) are shining through now .

Well done to YouTube for pulling Neil's Sinead O'Connor video, it was the scariest video i've seen since that Aphex Twin one where his face is on everyone's body (Windowlicker); do check out Neil's assault course videos tho' as they're pretty funny, don't think CTU will be calling him up for work soon tho...

One highlight of the weekend was watching Paul Merson's front tooth fall out whilst reporting on a game on Soccer Saturday, hilarious, looked like a massive bit of chewing gum; poor ol' Merse, he's not blessed in the brain departent but he's still a legend and Nathan and me once asked hom for his autograph twice when he played for an Arsenal XI v Royston Town back in the 80's....

Nice bust

How typical. I mention 'knee knack' in my last blog and lo and behold, Robin van Persie twists his knee and is gonna be out for up to a month. Oh well, nowt I can do about it, better looking at it as a great chance for Eduardo to show us his stuff. However, van Persie's injury has also scuppered my Fantasy team which is a dreadful shame since I was shooting up the table like a gun-slinger with bad eyesight. Nevertheless, putting Adebayor will surely bag plenty of points....

We haven't seen much of our Brazilian Croatian yet, a couple of nice goals and some nice touches have whetted our appetite so tomorrows game against Bolton will hopefully give him a nice platform to represent.

It was the much-anticipated Arsenal AGM yesterday, the highlight of which was the surprise unveiling of a Herbert Chapman-stylee Arsene Wenger bust, well deserved too in my opinion. Reports of the Meeting all agree that Wenger's speech was as articulate and inspiring as you'd expect, whereas the Chairman's handling of the meeting itself was perhaps disappointing (the Online Gooner is particularly scathing, questioning Hill-Woods sanity and whether he might 'buy the farm' before the next AGM). Even so, the new lock down agreement will hopefully put any takeover talk on the back burner for a while, although Usmanov may well continue to pick off shares from the smaller shareholders until he's only got the big boys left to deal with.

Some belated congratulations to pass on, well done to Nath and Anna Marie for their impending arrival, chuffed to bits for you both. Also, a 'nice one' goes out to Verity and Kat for their respective births recently, as well as Tobe for his wedding.

Off on hols to Portugal next week so site will be updated even less than usual; I'm meant to be playing golf while I'm away which should be pretty funny as I haven't played in 3 years. i think I'll be relying on Pete's clubs and the ghost of Seve (or Tarby) to guide me round 18 holes, any score under, ooh, 110 would be viewed as spectacularly good methinks...

Cutty say he can't hang

Evening all, stoopid international week, no freakin' footie on telly at all...an International break can mean bad news for clubs and I'm worried that we may get a few players coming back from their games with knee-knack or something. Liverpool have really suffered since the last break (heh) and I just hope Arsenal can keep their momentum going into the next match at home to Bolton (who aren't scary now that Little Sam is at the helm).

I've finally succumbed and joined facebook today, lots of good folk on there so we'll see how I get on with the mutha...

Its been a while, but back by popular demand is Brian's joke of the week, take it away, Pod:

a man is walking through a marketplace when he sees a wigwam with the sign 'any question answered' above it.
he enters to be greeted by an old red indian in full native regalia.
'HOW!' says the big chief.
'HOW!' replies the man quickly.
'what is question?' the indian says.
feeling smug, the man says 'who scored the winning goal in the 1927 scottish cup final??'
'gordon mcerlain. hibs 2 celtic 1.' replies the chief quick as a flash. the man leaves the wigwan astonished.
30years later he is in the same market when he sees the same sign, this time above a huge palace, decorated with native american daubings and artefacts.
curious to see, he enters the palace and finds the same red indian sat inside.
'HOW!' says the man, testing to see if he remembered him.
'fast inswinging corner, bullet header, near post.'
says the chief.

Good on yer, Bri

And here, for no reason other than "it's great" is the jive dialogue from Airplane!

The opening Jive Scene

Jiveman #1: Sheeeet, man, that honkey mus' be messin' my old lady got to be runnin' col' upsihd down his head! (Golly, that white fellow should stay away from my wife or I will punch him. )

Jiveman #1: I say hey sky, s'other say I won say I pray to J I get the same ol' same ol.(I knew a man in a similar predicament, and he ended up being sorry. )
Jiveman #2: Knock yourself a pro slick. Gray matter back got perform' us' down I take TCBin, man'. (Don't be naive Arthur. Each of us faces a clear moral choice. )
Jiveman #1: You know wha' they say: See a broad to get that bodiac lay'er down an' smack 'em yack 'em. (Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. )
Together: Col' got to be! Yo! (How true! )

In the House Again

And we're back.

Its been a while, I know, so much as happened since my last blog, especially in the wide, wide world of sports, well the sport that matters most anyway...

What the hell is with the Rugby World Cup? How long does it need to be? Why can't they play during the week? Big load of wang, thats what I say.

Back to some real sport now, Chelsea have knockled Spuz into second place in the Mass Crisis Table; could i really have asked for more this season? Out of all the hate figures at Chelsea (and there are plenty), the one whom I taking the most satisfaction from seeing squirm (even more than usual - he's as slimy as Kenneth Baker's characiture in Spitting Image) is Kenyon. How does he think he can turn Chelseas into the biggest club in the world when they only get 24,000 for a Champions League game? The man is delusional. A report was published recently giving the number of hits received by each Premiership club's websites at the end of August; domestically, the leaders were Man U, Liverpool and The Arsenal, where were Chelsea? 11th. 11th! Whilst they came 4th based on international hits, Chelsea cannot rely on increasing their domestic support-base in a matter of months, thesse things take a long time and with other clubs, involves a little something we like to call 'history'; a facet the Kings Road club are hardly bathing in...

Down at Arsenal, things couldn't be much better, although I don't want to say too much just in case I curse 'em; injuries are starting to pile up a bit though, what 's happening with Gallas? Injured on August 19, the Arsenal skipper was originally ruled out for three weeks. Four weeks later, he missed the Gunners' win at Spurs. On September 20, the club's official website announced that 'Gallas is expected to return for the West Ham game on September 29'. On September 27, Arsene Wenger announced: "Gallas is maybe a week or 10 days away." Thanks to F365 for that last bit of info.

Couple of shout-outs to do, firstly big hello to Kristian and Angie who arrived in Thailand last week and are currently planning to overpower the Junta in Burma in a couple of months, just let the Monks walk, man! Anyhoo, They're away for a year or something and they'll hopefully mail me some pictures of their travels to post on this site.

Secondly, apologies to Neil, i know I preomsied I'd update my site more, things have been so hectic recently though. Nevertheless, to try and make this up to Auckland's number one scouser, I've been onto the Simpsonize Me website (http://www.simpsonizeme.com/) and created characters for us both, like...

Deadline, ahoy

We need more Bank Holidays, get it sorted Government, give us more I ask.

Had a great time at the footie on Saturday, managed to meet up with Dan and two of the Gray brothers in Islington before the match (was late due to half of the frickin' Piccadilly Line being closed leaving me to get a bus in the sweltering smoggy heat). Very nice it was too, Dan's hangover and obvious Tottenham-related stress was very apparent, poor boy even had his sunnies on upside down...

Rich and I then headed off to Ashburton to watch the game. Cracking finish by Fabregas, came out of no-where really. The games after yet another pointless International break (they really get on my wick, why are they still being played?!) can sometimes be unpredictable but Arsenal kept plugging away at a very determined Man city side and eventually got the break they deserved. City look a very different team to last year, the partnership of Dunne and the awesome Richards at the back should serve them very well this year and they'll have plenty of clean sheets; their attack still looks a little weak though, Mpenza had a good chance on Saturday, as did Petrov, so Sven may be tempted to dip into Dr Shinawatra's wallet once more to replace the unlucky Bojinov and give them a bit more bite up front.

Three more days until the transfer window shuts, so what can we expect? Well, Arsene may have a dabble, am surprised he hasn't bought an extra Centre Back yet. A left winger and a striker would also be welcome. If I were in his shoes, and God-willing, one day I will be, I would splash out on Mertesaker, Quaresma and Martins. However, I'd expect either no activity or another teenage to come through he doors. As for other clubs, Lord knows what's going on the rumour mongering is in over-over-drive at the moment...

It was Box Rocks yesterday, a teenie music 'festival' (one stage in a pub car park) in the village of Box. There were loads of bikers there, all ready to rock out, however, the highlight of the day was clearly the keepie-uppie session going on in the park between 6 of us. We managed to do 25 although it could have been more had Pete put his pint down and stopped doing those silly gaylord flicks of his.

Only a few more days until Tobe's stag do in the Toon, will try and fit in another blog before then...

Howard Johnson is right

Hi, I'm Ed Winchester. What a week for Spurs, eh? After Jolgate, Berbatov's agent has now come out tonight and said Man U are in for him. Crikey. Oh well, it's nice for the bad press to be diverted form Arsenal for a change, and long may it continue!


Am off to the Arsenal - Man City game with Rich tomorrow, well excited. Should

be an interesting game, too. Man City were pretty lucky last week against United, Micah Richards was simply awesome at centre back, I'd put a bid in now Arsene

before anyone else gets their grubby hands on him.

Martin Jol, yesterday

If we can take an early chance for a change, City's resolve will really be tested as Sven doesn't really openly attack his opponents (just his secretaries, ouch!). Anyhoo, be great to be at the ground for the first time in a while, here's hoping for a cracker.



Only two weeks left at work, well, 7 working days; Bank Holiday, wo-hoo!



It's Toby's stag do in Newcastle next weekend. There's 6 of us going up on the same flight so that should be interesting (and yet enjoyable). Never been to the Toon before but heard its a crackin neet oot; well, that's what Viz taught me anyway.





Have a funky weekend and enjoy the sunshhhiiinnnnnnnnnne

"Top 6 Club, always have been"

Well, we couldn't have asked for a better (or funnier) start to the football season, could we? Arsenal have won two on the bounce, the Spudz are bottom of the league, and last night Ronaldo got himself booked for three matches whilst united are looking seriously short of firepower. Enjoy it while it lasts, good to see Tottenham are already fighting for a bottom four finish...

Sparta Prague played a very physical first half against The Arsenal last night, but the lads managed to match them during a very patchy 45 minutes; Fabregas even managed to crock that thug, Tomas Repka.

Alex Hleb - not quite as lethal in

front of goal as Rich Ashby

Sparta's truculence faded as they ran out of energy during the second half and Fabregas and Hleb both produced tidy finishes to hopefully put the tie to bed.

Rich and myself are off to see Arsenal next weekend against Sven's Man City, its looking an intriguing game already.

Only 3 weeks left at work now, more importantly, there are only 3 lunchtime 5-a-sides to go. Today's game was absolute gash (i.e. we lost), will be looking for a marked improvement next week. I've been granted a testimonial game on September 4th so I'll need to be firing on all cylinders by then.

In other news, we're all off to Steeple this weekend for a bash round at my sisters. Will try and get some pix for the site. Have a good weekend, be lucky!

New Stuffmagoria

Hello, sorry for lack of updates, been a very busy week that's mainly been about getting a new job.

But before all that business, I must fill you in on the cricket last Saturday. There were two things that Pete and Si had chosen not to tell me about last week's game, namely that the team we were playing had one of the fastest bowlers in village cricket and that helmets would be required. Nice. Anyhoo, i didn't trouble the scorers I'm afraid, I was spectacularly caught on my second ball by a particularly athletic fielder. Oh well, no justice is there? We lost by 4 wickets in the end, we only had ten men, mind.

Great day tho, went to a lovely pub in Castle Combe afterwards, it' gorgeous little village about 4/5 miles outside of Bath which also happens to have a major racing track. The cricket pitch was just over the road form the track and we were treated to the sound of highly revved engines and big skids all the way through the match, idyllic England at its best.

Big news this week has been that I've got anew job. I'm finally leaving the council after nearly ten years of 87 days off a year to go and work in Queens Square in Bath, looking forward to it.

Its the start of the football season today, praise be. Come on Arsenal. Hopefully Sunderland can do us all a favour and embarrass Spuz this lunchtime and I fancy Villa to do Liverpool this evening, too; although my predictions on this website have been less than reliable thus far...

Two, please

Morning,

Funny week this one, was still suffrin' with man flu for most of it but recovered substantially enough to go out with James and Pete on Thursday night. Why oh why i thought it might be a good idea to play pro evo until 2am after the pub on a school night is beyond me...

Today should be cool, playing cricket with Si and Pete for a bumbling village team. Since I haven't really played for about 15 years I'm not really expecting to bother the scorers too much; nice way to spend a sunny day tho.

Ajax Vs. The Arsenal later today (8.15 ko), should be a good, if not tight, match. Be good to see if Eduardo can carry on where he left off, he looks like yet another shrewd signing by Le Boss.

Cornish Rastas

Hello there. Long time no speak due to last week's fab holiday in Cornwall. Thanks to Matt and Jenny for putting us up (had a nice trip out in Matt's VW Camper to Looe), also to Paul and Bri for looking after us all down there, the weather may not have been the best but it was really good to see everyone; enjoyed the Eden Project, Truro and Polkerris beach. It's a beautiful part of the country, would love to live down there one day...

Seen Robin van Persie's goal in the Emirates Cup yet? What a cracker, lets hope he can stay fit this year. Plenty of encouragement to take form the tournament tho, Hleb and Sagna looked good whilst Eboue was pretty scary down the right flank.

Footie season is only just around the corner; again, Chelsea are doing their best to feck up the game by paying John Terry £135k a week, when will it stop? Abramovic is playing Championship Manager with our beautiful game.

Gonna be updating the site a bit more this week hopefully, feel the need to talk more about music...

White Wedding

Phew, what a weekend. Excellent wedding; Fantastic venue, food, speeches and people, great to see so many familiar folk, shame the day went so quickly. You can look at my photos of the day here. Also, I have uploaded Stu's Best Man song to YouTube, you can view that here.

Felt very rough on Sunday, not too sure trampolining at 3.30am helped, I hope Nathan & Natasha have recovered from their injuries by now.

Good luck to Nath, Anna-Marie and Dave in Cuba this week. I hope you manage to get thru Jedi school on Wednesday...

Take a Leak

Fascinating story about an alleged email from Le Boss that has been leaked: Click Here

Bothans, Binging and Bolognese

G'day, sorry for lack of updates, I've been busier than a Bothan Spy sneaking their way around the first Death Star.

Getting ready for trip back to Steeple this weekend for The Linggoo wedding, should be a great bash, there'll be pix on the site next week (hopefully...)

What the hell is that spammer Iain Duncan-Smith banging on about adding 7p on the price of a pint of beer, 20p on a bottle of wine and 70p on a bottle of whisky to stop binge drinking??? There's nothing like punishing the masses is there? Maggie would be so proud of you IDS, now off you go, back to Cameron's lap...

Shocking amount of cash being spent in the Premiership at the moment, most of it by Man Ure and The Liverpool franchise, no need to panic yet, plenty of time to go till the season starts. Besides, even if we don't spend any more money, Arsenal's record against the top 4 was great last year (apart from that defeat at Liverpool) and Henry only played in 2 of those 6 games anyway. Its the games aganist the 'lesser' teams (e.g. Birmingham, Tottenham) where The Arsenal need to pick up their game.

Here's another joke from Brian, not sure about His Spag Bol recipe, mind...

an onion, a pepper, and a c*ck are having a chat.

the french onion boasts "when i errm 'ard and stiff i get shopped into a beautiful sa-lard!'
the Italian pepper retorts "when-a i am ard anna stiff, i get chopped into-a da sphag-heeeti bolognaiize!!'

the c*ck says 'jesus. when I'm hard and stiff, I'm clingfilmed, thrown into a filthy dark room, and get me head smashed up against the wall until i puke and pass out!'

Tickle your ribs, sir?

Lovely summer we're having, eh? Don't fret, there is some good news about; Rich has bought a house, there's a Linggoo wedding in a week or so and Tottscum will be bankrupt in a year. Anyhoo, here's something else to brighten your day (especially you, Kristian), another rib-tickler from The Pod , pictured here at the 1994 Summer Ball, where I believe he got off with about 15 ladies, oh Bri...

An old man was critically ill. Feeling that death was near, he called his lawyer.
"I want to become a lawyer. How much is the express degree you told me about?"

"It's £50,000," the lawyer said. "But why? You'll be dead soon, why do you want to become a lawyer?"

"That's my business! Get me on the course!"

Four days later, the old man got his law degree. His lawyer was at his bedside, making sure his bill would be paid.

Suddenly the old man was racked with fits of coughing and it was clear that this would be the end. Still curious, the lawyer leaned over and said, "please, before it's too late, tell me why you wanted to get a law degree so badly before you died?"

In a faint whisper, as he breathed his last, the old man said, "One less f*cking lawyer . . ."

A Signing!

Gadzooks, we've signed a striker! 24 Yr old Eduardo da Silva has joined from Croatia Zagreb (subject to a medical). No, I hadn't heard of him either but his scoring record is impressive: he's scored seven goals from 12 games for his adoptive country.Last season for his club, da Silva scored a remarkable 34 times in 32 games, netting 71 goals in total in 100 appearances for Dinamo. You can view one of his goals here.

Welcome Eduardo and good luck

London Calling & Star Bores

Apparently, BBC Londinium is reporting that Le Boss is about to extend his contract, see story on Arseblog here, nice to have something to smile about in Arsenal-land if its true, the beeb don't lie do they? Grimandi will also allegedly be named as Director of Football; well, all the big news happens on Fridays...

Good luck to La moving into his new house in Auckland, geek heaven I imagine, look forward to seeing it once we've raised the air fare.

Regular readers will be relieved to hear that Brian has sent me another joke but I don't want to post it just yet...btw, well done on getting your job, Bri, lets hope you get that golden shower, I mean golden handshake as well.

Changing the subject, watched Revenge of The Sith again the other day, what a load of wang. The dialogue is so bad and some of the acting ain't much better ("oh, the younglings"). I wonder if anyone else wishes Lucas had left it as just a trilogy? I've just been reading Easy Riders Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind (thanks for the recommendation, Jake); excellent book about Hollywood during the late 60s and 70s. Anyhoo, Lucas was so peeved after studios ripped apart THX 1138 (his 'baby'), that he lost faith in Hollywood, claimed merchandise rights for Star Wars in wonderful piece of bargaining with the studio, raked in tens of millions of benjamins and started to produce his own films. He was also set to direct Apocalypse Now but Coppola decided to take the job instead; the THX 1138 incident had battered his confidence so much with regard to directing 'real films' that eventually Lucas decided that Star Wars was his destiny and he carried on with the adventures of C-3PO and R2-D2...

You is from Dudley, in't it?

How can we lift this blue funk?

By signing David Villa maybe? OK, maybe not...I do have the next best thing tho, Brian's Blue Joke of The Week:

Wife asks her husband if they can make love with the light ON after 20 years together. 'no way!' says he. undeterred, she flicks the light on next time, to discover him sh*gging her with a huge
marrow, having clearly got no genitalia.

'20 years of this??' she screams. 'you have some explaining to do mister!!' she adds, furiously.
'oh...have i??' he says incredulously. 'so have you!! we've got two kids!!!'

please try the veal......

Bon Voyage

He's gone and it looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines...

Best of luck to him, he was my fave player so I'm gutted we've lost him. However, this whole 'transition' of Arsenal would always end in TH14 leaving as the team was no longer built around him, it's built around Fabregas.

Pre-season starts next week, be interesting to see who turns up!

Brief comment on the Arsenal website from Mr Wenger, but a galvanising comment from him would be most welcome...

Mr H

Oh crap, looks like its gonna happen...

Black Country Boy

OK, new feature, its Brian's Blue Joke of the Week. Those of you who know the Pod will be aware of his illustrious career in comedy; its truly an honour to allow him to share his filthy gags with the world at last. Take it away Bri...

joke 4 ya.: 'fella says to his wife 'we need a code for sex. so...if i wanna shag, I'll squeeze your balloon once. if u wanna shag, yank my kn*b once. AND, if u don't want one, yank it 150 times.'

i thhank---hyooo.

Stay on target

OK, a rambling piece for the gooners this one: transfer targets for the summer. Let's assume that Arsene is plotting away at the moment almost ready to pounce on a couple of top class players. I'm going to ignore all the ridiculous media speculation; football sells newspapers, during the summer there are no games (stats show that fellas buy more newspapers if their team has won) so the hacks have to come up with ever-elaborate stories that are more sensational then their rivals.

I think part of the reason we haven't bought yet is the fact that the Spanish season has only just finished. Wenger has to sort out the Reyes situation ad get some cash in the bank; Reyes has a few years left on his contract so you'd assume we'd get at lease £10m for the mutha. Also going out the door is Flamini, say for£5m? Add that to the supposed £40m loan the board have negotiated and you're looking at a £55m kitty, that's a lot of benjamins. OK, perhaps that's a wee bit optimistic, but that's just the way I am.

Where do we need strengthening? Well, I'd say an experienced centre back, a winger and maybe a forward. We have phenomenal strength up front with Henry (who had some pictures taken with a lovely lady yesterday at an Arsenal event), RvP and an ever improving Adebayor, but we've lost Baptista and Aliadiere. Will Wenger want to play Walcott up front this year or will he be limited to the right?

Anyhoo, I know the transfer game; I've played Championship manager (although success on CM is no guarantee of glory in real life, just look at Tonton Zola Moukoko - who is now playing for IK Sleipner in Sweden.). Every top manager in Europe is flirting with clubs left, right and centre. When the market is as competitive as it is in June and July, being first to approach a player is a huge advantage. I'm sure le boss will have been hard at work for months wooing targets as he is the master salesman. Mr Wenger always keeps his cards close to his chest and we rarely hear of any purchases until they're pretty much done and dusted so we could be in for some news any day now (OK, maybe not that soon...).

So don't be downhearted, things will pick up soon, the papers will continue to spout garbage for the foreseeable future so have a good laugh at them and don't worry too much (that means you Rich).

Bearded Villainy

Mondays are rubbish sometimes, too frickin knackered to do nowt. Nice chat with Bri tonight, going down to Cornwall in a few weeks to view his abode and visit Matt (chicken pies) and Paul too.

At the risk of sounding a bit geeky, how good was Dr Who on Saturday?! The Master! I always thought he looked like one of the bearded villains from Superman, who in turn looked like a fella who worked in Fagito's (or is that Fadigo's)? kebab shop in Cambridge...

For the Steeple folk...

Taken a few weeks ago, here is hip hops great white hope. Thorpedo, take a bow...

Aquae Sulis, pet

Bath is a frickin' builing site at the moment while they knock down the horrible pikey post war horror down Southgate way, took some pix the other week of Bath in general. Well, I was wanderin' around with a camera, what else was I supposed to do? Look at 'em here

Abbe & Jamie's Wedding

Abbe and Jamie got married the other week, you can view my pictures here...

It's away

hello there, first blog ahoy.
welcome to the site, i though neil would appreciate it, you can view his site here.
anyhoo, i'll try to add to it as much as possible. i feel i should have a rant about the whole thierry henry situation too. after all, during the footie-drought of summer, transfer gossip keeps us all going...
