fuck henry

the beautiful thing about being an arsenal fan is that we are allowed to be cynical, bitter, angry fuckheads. in this case my bile is aimed at henry, with a little residual vomit flying at ashley cole.

what the fuck is their problem? we have had an amazing run over the last decade. we took the former when juventus only needed him to warm the pine, and we turned the latter into a world class left back. but these two assheads are rocking the boat at exactly the moment when the arse needs solidarity. where is lech walesa when you need him. i bet he'd be good in midfield.

look around boys, there are injuries galore. how can you expect to win with freddie out, with reyes out, with hleb out, with cole himself out, and with sol out (a more than sufficient replacement for viera as captain. why the hell did you appease henry with the captainsy, arsene? that is the one and only move that gives you a ticket to the vrri, retard recycling program in calgary).

so, as much as i love henry (and i really do. i wear his kit proudly.) i say it is time to sell his ass. and it's time to sell cole too. i don't care if we win as much as i care about commitment. and i'm not seeing commitment from cole and henry.

after last season i didn't htink i'd be saying this, but reyes is showing me true commitment.

so here's what i'd like to see: henry to barca, cole to real, eto'o to arsenal in the henry deal, gattuso fulfilling his premiership dream, and a really great backup keeper for jens, like espen johnson.

and, in the end, i don't care if we win a damn thing, so long as the players are on board and play their hearts out.

and i love clichy and senderos and fabregas and flamini and abeyie and lupoli and hoyte (when he was around) for just that reason. they give it there all, all the time. who cares if they're not henry today. they will be tomorrow.

so fuck you henry. go to barca and play with ronaldinho (but if you don't i will still love you).

international mrc grab a point

It's finally happened. After their terrible performance against Fortuna Rumble, Inter MRC have managed to grab a point off the Individuals with a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night.

Fortuna Rumble took Inter MRC apart the on Matchday 3, scoring 8 times on goal keeper Hayder Al-Rekabi. The entire Inter squad looked lackluster and overwhelmed by the physical presence of Fortuna Rumble's front line. Even the extensive bribes laid down by injured player/manager Simkulet couldn't change the final scoreline.

But things improved greatly on Matchday 4. An injury to the Individuals' player/manager Matt lessened his considerable presence in the Individuals midfield, although he still battled with everything he had, and the return of Inter MRC's star, Brian Pederson, and the first appearance of ex-Polish professional, Robert (Rapid Vien), was just what Inter needed to steal a point on the draw.

The first half was hard fought on both sides, and it looked to end goal less, but the Individuals pulled ahead with a fine goal on stand-in goalkeeper Brad Quiring. It was a long time coming, considering they had hit the crossbar at least once and the uprights a couple of times, but the Inter MRC defense, led by Candace Matchett, responded well to the goal crisis and shut up shop for the rest of the game.

The second half saw more of the same gritty play from both sides, with Inter MRC coming out on top with the chances. Brian Whiffen-Peters took over for Quiring in net, showing, once again, his considerable range of skill, which allowed Quiring to enter the outfield play where he dominated the back with his physical presence.

Pederson, controlling the flow of play with his excellent ball control, was the decisive factor, however. He hooked up with Denis on a number of attacks, but finally scored a beautiful goal off of a cross from Prasek to pull Inter even with only a few minutes left to play.

Brad Quiring's physical play almost cost Inter MRC the lead when a hard tackle left one of the Individuals on his back. For a moment it looked as though the ref was awarding a penalty shot, but he only awarded a free kick and Matchett, on the right side of the wall, did an excellent job of clearing the ball.

From there on the attack was all Inter MRC and only the excellent goal keeping of the Individuals ' man in the pipes kept Inter from earning full points.

The unanimous decision for Inter MRC "man of the match" was Candace Matchett -- our rock in defence.

henry is henry

as much as it pains me to admit it, arsenal is a one man show...or at most a two man show. if we've got henry healthy, and sol cambell, we can win. sure, i know, we only beat sparta prague, but i'll wager that the czechs are better than fucking west brom, and being without theirry "the god" henry clearly took its toll on our winning ways.

so what happens? theirry comes back in prague and scores two goals, two weeks before his scheduled return. not only is it the mark of a captain, to come back ahead of time and make a difference, it is a mark of the best forward in the world. i love all of arsenal, and freddie is my sentimental favourite (the soul of the team), but henry is plainly the best player we've ever had. and if my word isn't enough, 186 goals (already one more than the golden ian wright) is incontrivertable evidence.

it's good to have you back henry. i sure hope you're playing against citeh this weekend.
