Pitch Playable or Not?

Man Utd 1 - 0 Arsenal 13/12/2010

To be scrupulously fair Arsene Wenger wasn’t pushing his excuses too far for once, but he sort of blamed the loss to Man Utd on the pitch http://tinyurl.com/WengerMoan3242

It does puzzle me slightly though. If there is grass on the pitch it’s playable. Surely, of all people, Wenger believes this?

Be careful dear sir..... and a further tip, one haircut at a time please

Nice Try buddy

Now perhaps I am an obsessed old man with too much hair that hasn’t even attempted to go grey but...

Unless the power of the Spanish sun is more potent and magical than we thought, or is Richardo Carvalho wearing a weave?

had a good phone call this morning from S&M credit card


It went like this


"hello this is S&M credit card is that Will Vorstellung?"

"yes"

"ok can i take you through security"

"no. I'll tell you what I get the message, when I try and by a pizza for 19 quid if you don't want me to use your card by refusing it I have no problem because I just use another card. I certainly haven't got time to jump though hoops to prove to you 18 hours later who I am. I am me and it was a genuine transaction so lets skip the 20 minutes phone-call ok
bye"

I am proud of this

Hybrid Oddity

At the champions league draw Garry Lineker managing to look simultaneously like a walnut and a wing-nut.

The Ministry of Truth—Minitrue, in Newspeak—was startlingly different from any other object in sight. It was an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete, soaring up, terrace after terrace, 300 metres into the air. From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party:


WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

The Arsenal Dichotomy

Having been driven to drink by sanctimonious Arsenal fans over the last 2 years it has struck me thus:

If it's all about the style, and about playing the right way then why do they all go home 15 minutes early if they are losing.

The examples of Arsenal fandom I am party too will even leave the pub 15 mins from the end if they are losing, and stop watching altogether once the league title is mathematically impossible for them to win.

If its all about the style then surely its worth watching even when you can't win?
