Bring it On ... the 2007/08 Season


This is my first footie posting for the 07/08 season.

The Saturday matches have just been completed with the late Villa-Poo dogfight just coming on.

And it's been a heady start so far.

Spurs, parading 40m pounds sterling worth of new talent which includes a strike force that's the Premiership equivalent of the US Navy's 7th Fleet, got mugged by Keano's Black Kats at the Stadium of Light.

Sven the Serial Bonker meanwhile guided his Thai-propelled charges to a 2-0 victory despite a practically non-existent pre-season programme.

Should the Hammer's home results continue in this vein, Curbs would be well-advised to bring in a bomoh to make a sweep of the ground.

I'm pretty sure they would turn up a few hundred buried voodoo dolls, all signed spitefully by the Blades witching department.

All this would be in retaliation for Egghead's dabbling with black-arts practitioner Kia Joorabchian last year - with a moniker like that, you can bet there's some fey bloodlines in the family, probably Korean in origin.

Sam would be the one responsible for the Toon being painted red tonight as he led a black-and-white charge sweeping through his former happy hunting ground at the Reebok.

And later tonight we'll find out if Rafa's goatee is here to stay or be uprooted in first-match frustration.

All these exciting drama is just making me sick with the jitters.


While I understand and have faith in the Godfather, it's always unnerving when you finally put the bun in the oven, so to speak.

We play at 7.30pm on Sunday and like most Gooners, we're already salivating for days at the thought of all that sexy football we've been promised.



We'll probably play the following line-up ...

Leman

La Sagna Le Toure Che Gallas Clichy

Eboue Cesc Diaby Eduardo

Der Pussie Hleb

The cognoscenti say the Godfather's Grand Experiment this year is fairly simple - we will have 3-4 fast flankers overlapping each other in both attack and defence.

Sagna/Hoyte and Clichy/Traore will link up with Eboue/Rosicky and Eduardo/Denilson.

Add Der Pussie and Hleb interchanging with these flankers, we should either see Monsieur Wenger's version of total footie ...

... or a very French muddle.

Only the Divine Knows.

"If you've beeeeeen bad, lord I bet you haaaaave,
And you've been hit by flying lead,
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head,
And wait for the ricochet"
