Arsenal vs Bolton, Saturday April 14th 2007
A good Friday the 13th to you. [INSERT JOKE ABOUT BLACK CATS, BROKEN MIRRORS AND WALKING UNDER LADDERS]
We play Bolton tomorrow, on the 95th anniversary of the Titanic striking an iceberg – this shouldn’t really concern us, since the good ship Arsenal has already been sinking since February. Unlike the Titanic, Arsenal can still be salvaged, although like any sinking ship, there are already reports (check out The Rumour Mill) of rats abandoning ship (most likely just paper talk + a bit of lost in translation).
A must win, like every other game we have left. If we do win our next two home games, that should be it for 4th place, and we can relax a bit for the game against the scum (go Malbranque!!) and score a few dozen goals against them. Can we beat Bolton? Yes. Will we beat Bolton? Umm…
Stan Kroenke of America is now an 11% shareholder in Arsenal. His intentions, I think, are clear and that is to purchase Arsenal outright. Whether Fiszman, Dein and Bracewell-Smith sells or not, that’s another question. I for one welcome our new Yank overlord. I’d like to remind him that as a trusted Internet personality and devoted Arsenal fan, I can be helpful in the transition from Arsenal Football Club to the London Gunners Soccer Franchise. Go Americans!!
