Have I mentioned I hate Arsenal lately? This shouldn't be my raison d’être, but it's just been one of those weeks. First there was the Villa game. All was peachy. Villa was ahead in added time. It was a real craicker. Villa support were singing inappropriate songs:
"What's that sticking out of his sock, is it his ankle, is it his ankle
Eduardo Wwooooo
he had some silky skills,
now he walks like Heather Mills wwooooo wwooooo"
Arsene Wegner was outraged! Then came the equalizer and I was outraged. Then the Villa supporter's were outraged, and largely booted from the Emirate's. Naturally scuffles ensued (read riots). Whatever, it's still 2 points to United.
Then came AC Milan (yes, I'm still on Arsenal's ass). All right, I'll give them props for beating the Serie Ahhh ex-giants away at the San Zero. But their victory totally overshadowed United's slow, painfully dull death grip around Olympique Mayonnaise's neck. A grip that lasted eons before the body was embalmed and flown back to France.
Lyon predicted United couldn't defend. Que sera sera. So United's still playing the big room, as are Arsenal — which I shall now refer to as "the team whose name we shall not speak".
Did I mention I hate the team whose name we shall not speak?
