True Love Means ...

Salford Scum ... 2 (Cronnie 52nd pen, Hargreaves 72nd)

Gooners ... 1 (Ade 48th Hand of God)

That's the Implosion completed - starting from Eduardo's horrific injury and last minute penalty that seemed to kick off a stream of dubious refereeing decisions that slapped our faces and kept the implosion going until this inevitable end at the home of the auld enemy, Old Trafford.

In a perverse way, I'm rather glad Ade's goal didn't win the match - I'd rather we lose than win a game with a goal like that.

Still, thanks lads - for a roller-coaster of a season and for over-performing even against unreasonable odds.

Twas not to be a trophy-winning season, but it was certainly wank-worthy, innit?

Bless you and here's to next season.

Love hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, it marks,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts


I'm young, I know,
But even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts



Some fools think of happiness

Blissfulness, togetherness

Some fools fool themselves I guess

They're not fooling me ...






I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue

Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts



----------------------------------



But damn if I don't still love you guys.

Gooners Forever!

Sir Cipan,

If I'm in Malaysia I will belanja you. Stay 'kewl' as the Kiwis like to say. Arsenal will win something soon. It is a good team. No worries.

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

dipthong,

Yes, it is. Click on play button on the imeem window to hear it.

madam c,

Really? Very nice of you.

This is just a sort of eulogy-tribute thingy.

I just simply love them. :D

Love Hurts by Nazareth!! I so like that song. Never attempted to sing it hiks.

Lily G said...

That last picture of Whinger is priceless! Really catches the essence of his passion. lol

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

leen,

Pecah tekak singing it, mek but I did pull it off a couple of times :)


lils,

Habih urat timbul - dat was at Emirates against Liv btw.

Now most of the blame will be laid at his door for not buying more players but I think its really more of the second stringers failing to live up to expectations or not taking up opportunities given.

Kepam telo till next year then ... :(

SNOTS said...

tergeliat want to sing that song. pancit.

anyways.. cian nih. tough luck. nak comfort lebih-lebih pun tak pandai.

so yeah, cian nih.

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

snots,

Just take me along the next time you go island-hopping.

That ought to do it ... lol.

Leen AshBurn said...

Did your telur naik reside belakang telinga when you sang it?

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

leen,

LOL - well actually if you grip it real hard as you go for the high notes, they'll stay pretty much where they're supposed to ...

... which is why rockers kangkang and grab-crotch a lot, kan? :)

And here's to Hatem Ben Arfa joining them next season, provided Fergie doesn't get to him first ... knowing Tangkai Jering Wenger's tendency not to spend.

Some major changes in defence would be nice too.

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

b-caddy,

Ya lor ... summore he said he wants just ONE signing.

Just ONE!

We're doomed ...

itu wenger.... constipation isit?

Monster Mom said...

Condolences mate!
You should see how hubby slam the bedroom door last nite! keh keh keh....

ManaL said...

I just came back from anak sedara sepupu's wedding last nite and was too tired to watch it but sensed that I will get a good/bad rev about it from u...

Sometimes love just aint enuf, avangggg...

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

des,

I think he's too close to the kids to be able to kick out any of them. Until they piss him off, that is - like Penan & Benty.

Anyway next year I expect to see Vela, Gibbs joining the squad. Gibbs reminds me of Pires' ball control.


Monster mum,

Really - and how was the resulting "comfort" session? Did he break the bed- er, goal-posts? *lol


manal,

Love means ... getting hurt, pretty often I guess.

Only the ones you care about can hurt you, kan?

Cheh, macam Dear Abby lak ... :)

Desparil said...

heard good things about vela.. til next season then.

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

des,

Me too ... I think the good thing about being Gooners is that we can reasonably expect more of the sexy footie next year.

Hopefully we'll get it right then.

Lily G said...

Apparently, tightwad wenger is spending more next season.




He's buying 2 players. Heh.

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

lils,

Yeah - Skrtel and Plessy.

We like them young.

:p

SNOTS said...

Rt Hon Sir Cipan Nougat-Tenuk said...

Baru baik demam, noks ... kempunan tak dapat ikut uols gi pulau.
