As i sit here listening to my newly created playlist on Spotify which is full of all my teenage favorites i cant help but smile as i know the football season is amongst us. Even with Bubba Sparxxx's Ugly pulsating through my eardrums.
Now as a Gooner we all know that Sunday was probably the worst thing that could have happened. Cech went flapping and a teenager awaiting his GCSE results completely outshone our superstar midfield. Plus we all had to see "waller's" left ass cheek get tattooed all over twitter with the score line. I don't mind West Ham in all honesty and i believe that is purely because over recent years they have not been a team we can call rivals. Saying that getting dicked at home sort of proves that point wrong.
But even still, a loss in the first game is an awful way to get started. Pre season was just a tease, showing what Arsenal can do. Not necessarily what they will do. On wards and upwards though, dust yourself off, go again and prove that Wenger does not need to blow a ridiculous amount on Benzema. ( I expect some backlash from that).
The first week in the premiership saw Manchester united dog a result against Spurs. Chelsea drew at home and we saw Mourinho once again make an absolute cock of himself by having a pop at Eva Carneiro after she ran on the pitch to aid Eden Hazard. In my eyes that little Belgian ballerina is to blame, if he stops diving like he has been shot as soon as he is near the opposition penalty area the referee's would stop calling the medics on.
Palace put on a good display away at Norwich and Watford were unlucky to draw away to Everton. No nil nil draws. The weekends have finally returned!
I was talking an old horrible bastard the other day while i was waiting to catch my train from farnborough and as a polite person i thought a little "discussion" will help time along. Little did i know that 2 minutes from then i would be fighting the urge to knock this silly C**t out. Excuse the language. A conversation about sport normally brings people together but it was the opposite with this individual. Money money money was all he kept saying and yes if you are lucky enough to become a professional footballer you are never likely to worry about money for a very long time. Unless your David James.
He could not understand the thrill of it, the competition, the fact that you will have a hard week if your team loses. You watch it, you listen to it, you buy a paper purely just to read about it. You play it, all be it badly in my case but you do realise you will eat drink and sleep football.
When we hear the beautiful vocals of the "CCHHHAAAMMMPPPIIIOOONNNSSS" during midweek i am normally perched up at a bar with mates watching football drinking way too much for a midweek tipple. I send a text just saying "7?" and the reply i receive is "yes mate is Loyd coming?" Done. Queue the hangover for the following day.
I challenged this guy to go and watch a match and to try and not enjoy it. If i could go to every Arsenal game i would believe me but with a young family to keep in line.
With week 1 done and Palace away this Sunday for Week 2, i am already counting down the hours until we see Coquelin hopefully show up and pocket Yohan Cabaye for 90 minutes.
Personally i think Theo has got to start up top and i can only hope a good result comes our way.
As normally please like the Facebook page and of course follow me on Twitter @Coulingknows.
