Good Evening Gentlemen, Christmas time is upon us, and for the first time in many a year, we enter December in a better position than we were in November. The beginning of December brings with it the visit of Manchester United, frequently loathed around these parts. United are, of course, managed by Jose Mourinho, who previously managed another team even more loathed around these parts: Moneylaundering FC. As well as Mourinho is known for being an odious football manager, few realize he's best known as an infamous Christmas character. I give you Christmas' Ode to Jose: You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch You really are a heel, You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch, You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel! You're a monster, Mr. Grinch, Your heart's an empty hole, Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch, I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You have termites in your smile, You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch, Given a choice between the two of you'd take the seasick crocodile! You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch, You're the king of sinful sots, Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch, You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce! You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch, With a nauseous super "naus"!, You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch, Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots! You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You're a nasty wasty skunk, Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch, The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote, "Stink, stank, stunk"! Mr. Smiling Termites and team will arrive pitchside at 1730GMT/1230EST/1130CST/0930PST. Llama may wish to avoid eating, as the stench may make him throw up his breakfast. The Cuddly Cactus may be observed on NBC.
Jose's going to drive his big bus down the M1 and park it right in the middle of Ashburton Grove. Then Olivier Giroud is going to climb on its roof and head home the winner.
Injury Report: * Lacazette definitely out with a groin... personally I think Giroud et al can do the job there * Sanchez has a minor hammie... crossing fingers on that because he's had some history... he trained yesterday * Iwobi is hopefully back from his dead leg last weekend... he trained yesterday We should be able to field a strong enough team I think. I'd love to see Danny get playing time, and recreate some of those inspired goals he's scored against his old club. And I'm really hoping Ozil can put on another show, even if the upcoming opposition is a tad better than Huddersfield.
Although I wish I could say wth confidence we will come away with three points.....I smell a draw. 1-1. I'm just not there yet with our performance against "big clubs". Oh and yeah, I almost forgot....******** you Manure!
Whoa! 1-2 days ago Wenger said Laca wouldn't play. And now he says there's no risk? *crosses fingers*
Uggh, that was indeed God awful defending by us. And apparently they didn't come to park the bus. And to top it all off mustafi is coming out after re-injuring his ankle. Life is good.
