Footballers Whys?

I recently went to watch Arsenal vs. Blackburn Rovers at the new Emirates Stadium. It was fantastic, magnificent and awakened my dormant Gooner.


It did leave me with some searching questions.


Why were the Arsenal fans taunting Bentley, much more than the other Blackburn players? He's been praised for his performance playing for the England squad? I don't get it.


Why don't they swap shirts at the end any more?


Why do the fans who love Arsenal, really have a go when they make the slightest mistake? Do they really think they could do any better?


Why do we hate Chelsea (...oh we hate Chelsea – we are the ... etc.)


I have a new chant – sing to theme song from the Adams Family

'Adebayo (clap clap)

Adebayo (clap clap)

Adebayo Adebayo Adebayo (clap clap)'

How do I get it into the mouths (and hearts)of my fellow fans?


If I read Fever Pitch would it answer these questions?


Is it anything like About a Boy?

sensitive type

The tips of my fingers really hurt. Especially when I type or use the mouse pad. My hemp hand protector only provides temporary relief.

This is bad. I need to type a lot this week.

I am wondering what is going on. Have I worn away my finger prints through over typing? Is this tingling the ridges and whorls re establishing themselves? Perhaps I have developed an allergy to my lap top?

Eek what is to become of me?

The only option is to sit on the sofa and watch old Jeeves and Wooster episodes.
