It’s so nice to see that, when a professional footballer earning more in a couple of weeks than most of us do in a year makes a terrible mistake in a derby match, he immediately comes out with gems like this: ““The referee sent me off” Well, who did you expect to be sending you [...]

Yes, Bloody Eboue Again

It’s Eboue or us, Wenger
As I said earlier, Eboue is useless. He’s also, as today’s match against Spurs shows, a total liability. With just over 35 minutes gone, Eboue, already on a stupid yellow for arguing with the ref, kicked out at Modric and got himself sent off. He was lucky it wasn’t a straight red. This isn’t the [...]

Arsenal vs Spurs, Bill Hicks on Letterman
So, yet another big game for Arsenal today and yet another chance for us to finally kick our season back into some sort of life. With Chelsea only managing a draw against Hull yesterday, and Villa winning yet again, we really have to win or fifth place (or worse) beckons. Plus we need to get [...]

Quiet Morning – Quick Bit Of Arsenal News
Thankfully it looks like the Premier League clubs have decided there were no issues with the timing of the Arshavin deal. Could have been a sticky one, especially in light of the ongoing saga of the Tevez/Mascherano deal back in 2006 (funnily enough, Tevez still hasn’t got the hang of this legality thing). Eboue isn’t [...]

Jim James (My Morning Jacket) Acoustic
Rollo & Grady posted a few lovely Jim James solo numbers the other day. In case you didn’t know, Jim James is the main man in My Morning Jacket, those beardy Kentucky rawkers. And here’s one, for your delectation. Lowdown (MP3) I’ve gotta say, both Lowdown and The Way That He Sings are Desert Island [...]

Martin Hannett and Lego Skating
A nice little video of Tony Wilson talking to Martin Hannett about production techniques in 1980. Why do I get the feeling that Martin Hannett thinks that Tony Wilson is an idiot? And whilst looking at that, I stumbled across this:

ITV Football Coverage is Rubbish, New Theme
ITV continued their hopelessly shambolic football coverage by managing to miss the extra time goal by Everton in their 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup last night. I mean, really, how difficult can it be to chuck a couple of cameras up, and get a couple of ex-pros to witter endlessly about “That [...]

Lux Interior RIP
As Pitchfork and The Guardian report, The Cramps frontman Lux Interior died yesterday. He was a fantastic showman, a great vocalist and songwriter, and one of rock’s true originals. There was no-one like him, and you can see his influence in everyone from White Stripes, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and countless other rock bands. I [...]

Review – Blood Bank by Bon Iver
Bon Iver was, along with Fleet Foxes, one of the big new things of 2008. The backstory was interesting, with a chap called Justin Vernon so hacked off with the breakup of a relationship that he tootled off to his dad’s shack out in the woods of Wisconsin to mope get over it. And what [...]

Arshavin’s Finally Here
Andrei Arshavin is finally here, as announced on the club’s website. He’ll wear shirt number 23. Let’s hope he doesn’t go all fruitcake like the previous wearer of the shirt. Let’s also hope he’s match fit so he can take Eboue’s role on the right side of midfield for the Spurs game. As opposed to [...]
