The Mad Parson

Another week has slipped through my fingers like water or oil or “sands through the hourglass” or whatever kitschy metaphor you want to use to describe finishing off the week with a litany of things still left on the to-do list.  And yet!  Joy abounds because Saturday brings another outing of the mighty, mighty Arsenal, and in preparation, here are a few items I offer for your pleasure and benefit.

The Telegraph’s match preview makes it look like we’ll obliterate our hated rivals, and then the paper suggests a draw. Whuh?

The captain says that beautiful football can win trophies. And we all know he wants to win trophies.

Here are six memorable North London derbies. Maybe tomorrow’s (Arsenal win) be worthy of joining the list.

We’re never fancied to win anything, yet everyone wants to buy our players. Hmm.

That’s probably enough. It’s an early game tomorrow–ESPN2 shows it at 8:30am EDT, so up and at ‘em. C’mon, Gunners!
