Untold Arsenal: Arsenal News. Supporting the Lord Wenger in all he does » Zarg 6 Arsenal 13; Stewart Robson speaks odd, JET, Nordtveit, Nasri star
By Tony Attwood, at the computer, Great Oakley.
So there it was, there you have it, makes you think, this is it.
It wouldn’t have surprised me if Stewart Robson, co-commentator extraordinary had said any of that. He is a man who although he was a fine footballer, has never quite mastered the finer points of the English language – which is a trifle sad for a commentator.
Such as…
- Four is not the maximum number of words that can be had in an English sentence
- Nouns and adjectives are allowed
- Inflections upwards at the end of a sentence are not de rigour in English and by and large should be reserved for questions.
Anyway, we played, we won, it was a saunter, and JET, Nordveit, and Nasri all done great (remember that one Mr Robson – don’t think you said “done great”. It’s a verb… I done great, you done great, the boy Nasri done great…”)
The pictures were rubbish. Now I know this is mostly due to my computer which only has 5 furlongs of RAM and a fortnights worth ROM, but even so, can’t they do something better? It looked half the time as if it was pouring with rain. Although maybe it was. But for one pound I suppose I can’t complain. (Actually I just did).
Any way, the fact is that the kiddies we have watched over the past years are coming good and the older timers are limbering up for the episodes ahead…
- Andrey Arshavin is simmering nicely – not putting himself out too much you understand, but getting into the swing of things
- Johan Djourou is coming along too, played the whole game, while showing the promise so cruelly cut short by the morons of international car thievery
- Craig Eastmond is calm quiet and composed and can play central midfield as well as the next man who happens to be
- Emmanuel Frimpong
- JET is the player we all knew he could be, sauntering around looking too big to be a player and then with seemingly no effort he just meanders pass players who stand there thinking, “where did that bloody great tree come from and what is it doing running with the ball?”
- Lansbury scored with aplomb and then seemed to lose interest having done his thing
- Nasri was great once again which shows what he can do in the middle and
- Nordtveit played masterfully and is certainly ready for the first team squad.
- Gibbs is the fine player we knew him to be before his injury.
- Unless my eyes deceived me Traore played full back went off at half time and came on as a second half sub in midfield and did rather well.
- And our Jack showed he hasn’t completely got the hang of the laws and got booked for a rather nasty looking studs up which he then denied.
- Once more, Algenon Fitzgibbon-Beater, the new Mongolian signing from Ulan Bator Carpets failed to play. Rumour is that he is demanding a new yak.
So that was that – it all went rather well and it shows that without any of our players who were foolish enough to play in the bent world cup we have a decent squad and a half.
Sorry to see Eduardo go, but such things happen, and once again Almunia was not there, so we had two Polish keepers called Zxschzchazyz, who had nothing to do so we couldn’t really say too much about them.
S Robson managed later on to venture into the world of new pronunciations with Peeeeeeenas (a player for Zarg) and Giles Suuuuuuuuuunu who apparently plays for us. At any minute I expected to find out that we had a player called Walcottttttttttttttttttttt on the wing (who worked hard but just doesn’t have it at the moment, although “it” will undoubtedly turn up tomorrow.)
We won by 13 shots to 6 and 3 goals to nuffink.
Next match is next tuesday by which time we will have all the men who fraternised with the car thieves back at their desks. I hope they feel “up for it” as the journalists say.
Tottenham must be playing their Champs League qualifier soon, aren’t they? Wouldn’t it be rather droll if they lost.
