Untold Arsenal » Jocular juvenile jackass journalist jinx Johan Djourou in jolly jailbreak jest
Tricky thing this journalist business but I think I am get the hang of the headline writer’s craft.
Anyway, it was on friday that I noted that both Radio 5 and the Guardian were saying that we had 3 of our back four out when I could only count two. As Ian said in correspondence, any second now we’ll have five of our back four out.
Ian, if you would kindly stop saying such things, for your words and those of the Guardian and BBC have turned into a horrible prediction as Djourou got a knee injury. As the Lord Wenger said, showing his knowledge of Untold Arsenal once again, “We can’t afford to lose a defender in every game.”
But it is the ability of journalists to go beyond what we have been reporting of late in the Knocking the Arsenal pieces, that is worrying. Journalists have a rota of approaches for bringing the Arsenal down – and it now seems they have added black magic to their skills.
This is indeed a worrying development and one that must be stopped. The troops must be rallied etc etc. Buy a newspaper and then burn it. That’s the only way. Burn your radio too. (But only in an environmentally friendly manner please).
Anyway, apart from Johan and a rather gruesome first half it was a jolly affair and we’ve now gone 214 games unbeaten (I may have miscounted in the excitement but it is quite a few) and we look good to win stuff. We’ve already won the under 18s league, there’s the Yoof Cup, the Women’s League, the FA Cup. the European Cup, and the Cup for the silliest blog in football.
It was St What Not’s Day too, which is always nice (if the Totts got relegated again would we celebrate it on the first game of the season?)
Now I must settle down to sort out my next headline. How about this one on the proposed Tottenham stadium being turned down by the council…
Tiny Totts tightfisted transformation tender toppled
More later. I’m going for a walk.
