Crikey, it's been a while. Apparently we've played some footie during September, but I seem to have missed it! Firstly, some praise. I hear that everyone's favourite doctor, Dr Keene managed to run around Berlin in a time of 3 hours 41 mins. Not bad going mate - well done. I'd struggle to get 13 miles done in that time, never mind 26. I can only guess that it was the beer tent at the end of the run that inspired him!
- o O o - And then came footie. A creditable draw really against Chel$ki. Saw the game on Sky, and was suitably impressed. We seemed to play OK, and unbelievably, I was even contemplating saying well played to Useless DLC, but professional pride says that I can't. What was blazingly obvious though was our lack of ideas in midfield and up front. Yes, JPA was still recovering from his injury, but Vass didn't really do too much. At least Luke created a little bit when he came on. At the start of the game, I thought we'd win. Crazy I know, but after being at Villa Park last season when it was 3-2, with Chelsea having a better squad then I feel, I really thought we'd do it. Even through the game, it looked like we could snatch something, but it would have been a monumental effort. Chel$ki though were not what I’d imagined. They played well, and should have had a penalty, even though on the whole they were not overly impressive. A draw was fair I suppose.
- o O o - However, a 1-1 draw at home against Palace is simply not good enough. Heard it on the radio, and we were poor. No pressure, no imagination, but a great goal from Hendrie. We really should be taking points off these guys at home. It’s simply not good enough.
- o O o - Total Comedy Moments In Football Number 197,482 Darren Purse has been handed a three game ban by the FA for twatting his own team mate. Has the world gone bonkers? (Mind you, being an ex bloonose you can't really blame the suits, can you!)
- o O o - Total Comedy Moments In Football Number 197,483 Fresh from his rather public marriage breakup last week, Lee Hendrie has celebrated being free, single, and a premiership footballer by getting off with Jade Goody. Good christ mate, what are you thinking of?
- o O o - Hurrah. Holidays start in 5 days time. Come Tuesday night I’ll be out of the country for nearly three weeks. This means I’ll miss the Arsenal game. And we all know that traditionally whenever I’m out the country, we win. So bring them on! Not rubbing it in or anything, but here in London it’s rained all day so far, and in Cyprus where I’m headed it’s currently 85 degrees.
