24 more hours....Just 24 hours more...

Yet more footballing silence.

But the Arsenal have gone and done the right thing by brightening our day with the launch of our new kit for 2010/11. Pretty nice, I must say. Apart from funny looking sleeves with the extra fat trim, looks like something that we can win something in. I'm thinking it's more Champions League material. Has that continental European look to it, no?

It seems the kit's made of recycled bottles. At least now I know there's a good reason why I keep having to refrain from chucking my bottles into the bin. Mrs Arsewiper will be pleased. Oh yes, forgot about the whole environment thing. Yes, yes, good idea that.

Over on the Arse transfer-related news, it seems Laurent Koscielny's been wrapped up and delivered, and the latest rumour is we're looking at Per Mertesacker. Whatever it is, we'll need two defenders at the minimum in any case. And both these options plus Hangeland will never be too shoddy.

Liverpool has also gone and done the right thing in exciting their fans on a no-football day. Roy Hodgson. The obvious choice, no doubt. But poor Fulham. Wonder if this means going back to the sad old days of Chris Coleman and Lawrie Sanchez. Wonder too if this means a few of their better players are going to move. There's always the Hangeland to Arse rumour, and some have suggested Clint Dempsey could be travelling with Hodgson. Wouldn't mind having him for about £2 million ourselves.

You know, was thinking about the new season and everyone coming back together. Don't know about you, but aren't Clichy, Diaby and Sagna going to be bringing some seriously bad vibes back to the Emirates? Would be especially bad with Samir Nasri sniggering all the damn time at them. And Wenger making sarcastic remarks about them not training hard enough.

But, I think it should be happy campers. We've got a good bunch of guys. Gallas has gone for one. And we aren't Chelski. Imagine, having Malouda and Terry in the same team. Real team-players there. Shivers.

Was having a little laugh with a few Pool fans lamenting their financial situation. Came up with a nifty idea. Bring Liverpool to Roy Hodgson (save him the trip up north), set up shop at Craven Cottage, sell Anfield to Everton (get at least a few quid there to pay for Craven Cottage), sell Gerrard, who'll probably want to leave (get another few more quid there), and with the fall in the number of supporters, everyone should fit in nicely at Craven Cottage.

So you get a new stadium, plus a bit of cash left over. What more can you ask?

The 2-day footballing Bermuda Triangle ends tomorrow with a bang. Holland v Brazil. Yummiest tie of the World Cup so far. Yes, England-Brazil has some serious history, yes, Spain-Portugal has some neighbourly tensions to it too. But in terms of contenders for the World, both are serious contenders. Should be fun.

Of course, the evening tie's a bit of a dud. Uruguay-Ghana. Yip. Pee. They may just serve up something entertaining, but it's never fun watching a quarter-final knowing neither of the two are contenders.

Saturday sees the last two: Argentina-Germany (another yummy one) and Spain-Paraguay. Surprise surprise there.

Thank for it's over. Till tomorrow.
