Guiness Book Record Holders and no match?!

Dear Fox Soccer Channel,

Just so you realize, you are pretty much my one shot a week to watch an Arsenal game. I have to live without watching Carling Cup and UEFA Cup matches as it is, so do yourself a favor and broadcast our Premiership fixtures. We have the world record for number of fans, so don't give me the whole "viewers aren't interested" bullshit. Seriously, in what world will more people watch a Portsmouth v. Reading game than Arsenal v. West Ham? I've never even met a Reading fan in the States! That's all.

Wallbanger pt. 2

The second worst place for my Wallbanger is probably on my front door. Now when a fellow picks me up for a date there is no hiding my obsession.


This does however solve the problem of weeding out any secret Chelsea, Man U, or god forbid Sp*rs fans from my suitors.

Field Identifications

Dear FSC Commentators,

Last year I became concerned with the eyesight of certain referees during a certain Carling Cup final send off. However, it has recently come to my attention that perhaps I should be more concerned about your eyesight. When it becomes difficult to tell Sagna from Hleb, it is time to visit the optometrist. That's all.

Good day for Gunners and Djourou

An important match for the Gunners this week. Even though Derby is bottom of the table, the fact that we won this match cannot be overlooked. Last season many of our points were conceded against teams just like Derby. Losing to Sheffield United or West Ham really took the mickey out of beating Manchester United twice. Anyhow, it was a strong game for many of our players. I kept the recording as a testament to why I love Arsenal. We have the strongest passing game in the Premiership, and possibly in Europe. Commentators keep comparing us to the Dutch total football of days past, and I think it is warranted. Beautiful game boys, keep it up.

Looking at another game, Birmingham managed to keep a clean sheet at Anfield this week. Why would any Arsenal fan give a damn you ask? Mostly because the credit can be given to a certain Arsenal player on loan to Birmingham, Johan Djourou. At the beginning of the season, many fans reckoned our team looked a bit thin and were a bit perplexed when Wegner sent the boy to play some first team soccer for the Blues. Watching highlights of him against Liverpool, it seems that it has done him a world of good. Once again, Wegner knows best.

I'm off to entertain my parents. I had to fake an illness this morning to skip breakfast so I could catch the match. Does this make me a bad daughter? No, just a ridiculous Arsenal fan. Cheers.
