I Have Never Heard Anything So Stupid

What kind of stupid headline is this: "Peter Crouch emerges as shock contender to replace Emmanuel Adebayor at Arsenal". I mean, I had some respect for the Telegraph, but I suppose it's shot to hell now.

Whatever the case, though, this agent of Ade's is truly asking for something up his arse. What gives this godforsaken leech of a f#!$%ker the right to talk about our transfer targets: "Arsenal are exploring the transfer market for a substitute for Adebayor. The names being talked about are Peter Crouch, Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz and Germany forward Mario Gomez."

Piece of wet, stinking, fly-infested shit. Firstly, we never talk about our transfer targets. Secondly, this is the first time I've heard one agent of a player talking about possible replacements for his man. F off. I'm kinda un-zen right now, which thankfully, Le Boss is not:

"I don't know why I should be nervous. It's like when you take a penalty, if you are nervous it doesn't help. I will approach it with my usual calm. My biggest challenge is to make sure I have a competitive team next year no matter who it is."

Right on, boss man. But seriously, Peter Crouch? C'mon. Just because we lose one bloody octopus with uncontrollables limbs doesn't mean we have to grab the next bloody octopus that swims right by! I mean, I don't mind him as a player. He could be useful every now and then, but as a regular first-team guy? Don't think so. And don't think old Crouchy will take to yet more time on the bench. Which means, ladies and gentlemen, he'll end up at some piddling mid-table team.

I feel sorry him really. He's really not that bad. But...truth told...he just ain't cool, and won't sell many (if any) shirts. Don't think I've ever seen anyone with "Crouch" on his shirt. Also, don't think Nike even make shirts his size. Friggin' sleeves would always be too short.

Rather than Crouch then, what could we do with the 20-something million quid we'll get for Ade? There's some stuff going round that we're also into Karim Benzema, but that's not even good for amusement. Looks like we've been linked to everyone except maybe Anjelina Jolie for Arsenal. Wouldn't mind her as replacement for Ade.

In the real world though, Germany expectedly beat Turkey. But wow. Funny how I predicted Germany to squeak by 1-0. I suppose I was half right. haha! Looks like the Germans are on championship winning form: one good game, one pathetic game, one mediocre game, another good game, another mediocre game, and they're in the final. They're due a good one. It's really refreshing to see the Germans leaky in defence, so I really appreciate what Joachim Loew has done. He's made them slightly more interesting. Gotta feel for the Turks though.

Tonight's game is probably one that I'll willingly lose some sleep for. But believe you me, just watch the last half hour. Everything will happen then, and there'll probably be some extra time too. *yawn*
