Assassination attempt!!!!

Arriving home last night I intended to update Wikipedia, as is my wont in my, some may say anal, life but found myself unable to after reading this edit. A better bit of prose to sum up the tackle I cannot imagine. It shows up the two facedness of Arsene Whinger, who would have quite happily killed Martin Taylor a couple of seasons back but last night was just counting the tackles from either side, as if that makes Gallas' tackle legal.

But don't let that fool you into thinking that Bolton deserved to get anything out of last night's game. 2-0 up after 43 minutes I made the mistake of leaving my seat early to get to the bar before Fat Frank and has naked stomach. Standing next the the actor Nicholas Gleaves (you'd know him if you saw him) I heard the Rosicky goal go in and we shared a look, both knowing that a loss was on the way. I don't quite know what Jussi was thinking when the ball left Rosicky's boot but I don't imagine for one second that he thought the ball was going anywhere near the goal due to his cat like reactions to it. That would be a cat that has been dead for a couple of weeks and is stinking underneath the floorboards.

It shows the paucity of the squad that the GSO left St. Owen that the best that could be offered in the substitution of little Davies was The Badger, who immediately managed to get himself booked. After that Arsenal just picked us off at leisure, although both goals could have been stopped if someone had managed to get a foot in. SuperKev did well in his lone striker role but Ivan had little chance to impose himself on the game when he came on for Lee. However, we knew that Coyle would and could not change the way the team played overnight and SuperKev is still our best outlet, but the way that we played to go two goals up was better than I have seen live in a long time. Oh, and you couldn't hear the Arsenal fans until the third goal.

So, into the cup weekend and a win against Sheffield United would go a long way to kickstarting the season. Hopefully a full strength(ish) side will be played to give them the idea of what beating a team feels like before the Dingles come to town. And that, friends, will be tasty.
