Anyhows, no point getting all philosophical about it, or getting all downbeat, or even getting all excited. It's still 180 minutes of football, and so long as we don't get whipped like Real, I'm happy. I mean - let's get serious here.
We're in the Carling Cup semi-finals against Ipswich Town, and who can tell me the Champions League is more important than the Carling huh? Huh? Huh? Who? The Carling Cup's the most friggin' sought-after trophy out there, and by the time we play Barca at home, we could jolly well be Carling Cup Champions of the World. I'll be happy.
Anyway, it's Saturday today - and we're supposed to be looking forward to some football.
But no. The snow has brought life to a standstill in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. What's funniest is that most of the pitches are actually playable, but given how you don't want poor ole spectators trudging through the snow and feeling a bit cold on the stands, the decision was made to call of a couple of games for safety reasons.
Now. Correct me. When we had that little snow episode across Europe a couple of weeks ago, I did happen to watch a couple of Europa League games, and my word: you had people running around while the snow fell, pitches more white than green, lines barely visible and game spectators taking it all in. But that's Europe I suppose. Where the folks of Stuttgart and Berne probably take their "safety" a little bit less seriously than them tea-sippers in the UK.
So it's another 9 days till football again. Just brilliant.
In the meantime, we have news that Ryo Miyaichi will join us in January. Exactly what we need, I tell you. Some Japanese dude straight out of Street Fighter. Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pique, all you SOBs, lock up your kids, he's comin' to get you!
Funny how things turn out eh - one moment he's playing in some Japanese High School tournament, and the next thing you know, he joins up with Arsenal after.
