One - Nil to the Arsenal!!!

I was sick all weekend just thinking about eels and Leopold and Loeb, then was busy all Saturday with some personal business. Sunday comes along and I'm all ready to post, except that Arsenal and Man Utd. are playing at Old Trafford AND The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins are matched up as well at Texas Stadium. What's a sport fan to do?

I'm happy to report that Arsenal were triumphant, thanks to a brilliant goal by Emmanuel Adebayor (who I spent most of the match grousing about, due to his penchant for giving the ball away with over-elaborate little back heels and such... all is forgiven, mate!) and provided by plucky little Cesc Fabregas, whom the loathsome Ashley Cole had the nerve to criticise in his creepy, narcissistic autobiography. To top it all off, the goal came about directly as a result of a Cristiano Ronaldo giveaway. Lovely that.

...And Dallas scolds Washington, with some brilliant defense and workmanlike offense, the little problem of that 100 yard kickoff return for Washington notwithstanding.

So I've been completely distracted. But not for long. There's posting to be done.

Also, word from Linus Coconut. A blogging invitation has been sent. It should only be a matter of time. Stew is restless I know. He's reportedly pacing and hitting refresh on the blog every 30 seconds until the magic word "Coconut" appears on screen again.

Don't get worked up Stew. It was just me this time writing about him. Still...

Coconut! Coconut! Coconut! Coconut! Coconut! Coconut! Coconut! Coconut! Coconut! Coconut!

That ought to have him in a tissy.
