JLS Aftershave…

Yesterday, when I got home, Stu unexpectedly handed me his new JLS aftershave and asked me to help him open the cellophane seal all around the cardboard box it was in. 

Luckily I had a scissors at hand and was able to instantly chop all my fingers off.

Girona 1 - 2 Arsenal...

Arsenal put in a solid performance last night in Girona, showing resilience and character to secure a 2-1 win. 

It wasn't a perfect game and there were nervy moments, especially with Sterling missing a late penalty, but we held on for the win. Overall it was a good result that shows the squad's depth and determination, which will be crucial as we head into the knockout stages.

Darce & I had struggled to get tickets for the game itself but eventually managed to swing a VIP pitch-side pair with UEFA Champions Club access too. Nice. 
 
Onwards and up with my friends.

Wolves 0 - 1 Arsenal...

So what happened last night in Wolverhampton as Arsenal’s beat Wolves?
 
First the headlines:
1. Arsenal won and got three valuable points. 
2. It was an ‘entertaining’ game. 
3. Referee Michael Oliver sent off Miles Lewis-Skelly in the first half with a straight red
4. It was a big mistake. Huge. 
5. He then sent off Gomes with a second yellow when it was obviously a straight red
6. Calafiori scored our winner 
 
So let me tackle this head on (apologies for the language)
 
Michael Oliver, I think that you and I need to have a little talk. A proper talk, like when mummy explains why daddy’s going to be in the papers tomorrow.
 
You are an incompetent, cheating, useless bag of skin.  It’s impossible to underestimate you.  You have all the charm, talent and a refereeing ability of a rotting teddy bear by a graveside.
 
I’m not insulting you, I’m describing you.
 
You are so dense that light bends around you. I wouldn’t piss on you, if you were on fire and allergic to piss. You are a useless human being who deserves to never officiate a football match ever again. 
 
Naturally, the wider refereeing community have all closed ranks. Seemingly unaware about how this reflects badly on them.  
 
I don’t think I have ever been as outraged at a bad refereeing decision as I was yesterday afternoon
 
Some positives. 
1. The red card will probably be rescinded
2. Arsenal can definitely pull it together with just 10 men on the pitch. 
 
Onwards and up with my friends.
