Torres and Carroll Have Ruined it For Everyone

Hello. A good a place to start as any, I suppose. You know where you are with hello. It’s comforting, familiar. In the same way it’s nice to know that a tiny part of every Arsenal fan’s soul must die when they see Theo Walcott in the number ‘14’ shirt  each weekend, only to more often than not play like Lenny Henry rather than the garment’s most formidable inhabitant. For every soggy, wilted cross and shonked effort wide, they must be delighted to realise, that, every so often, one will deflect in off his face and he’ll celebrate like an utter pillock. Table tennis?

Sacré Bleugh.

Jolly good. Well Friday night was a bit of a weird one, by the sounds of it. From what I’ve heard about the Watford encounter (and I keep using these non-committal terms because I was busy watching George Clooney act his ruddy socks off as a property lawyer who’s ‘sick of all this sh*t’ but actually really loves his family™, just in time for the award season) it sounds as if (there I go again) we were rather lucky to get out alive. In a figurative sense, of course, no-one’s suggesting our mortal bones were under any kind of threat. Hertfordshire’s not that kind of place.

At least, I should hope not as we’ve got to go back there in round five. Vanquishers of the mighty Notts County, Stevenage, stand between us and a quarter-final place. A team, if you’d believe it, who’ve never lost a home tie to Premiership opposition in the F.A Cup. The great big show-offs.

Meanwhile, the January transfer window closes itself for another year tomorrow. Yes, amazingly it’s been open all this time- just no-one’s had the decency to remind us. Barring a Van der Vaart-style eleventh-hour coup from within the offices of D. Levy, it looks set to be a quiet one. Fernando Torres and Andy Carroll have a lot to answer for. £85 million that couldn’t have been put to poorer use were it pulped and spread on toast- and it’s little wonder no bugger wants to spend.

Pray for mojo.
