Up The Arse.

I expected to stay at home today in peace and catch up on the FA Cup matches that were on. To my dismay, I found out that I had to go to my aunt's house for the day. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I just don't like changes in plan.

So I figured, "all is well, I'll just check up on the live commentary on Yahoo! Sports via iTouch." Then I arrived at my aunt's house, finding out that their wifi was not working. I sat on their couch reading The Gun Seller, from Thursday's night out alone, but I could not be fully committed. My mind was on Arsenal and Manchester United.

Why this particular match?

1. Arsenal, the greatest club ever, is playing. This is stating the obvious.
2. Manchester Scum. To see us beating those devils would be class.

However, based on the lineups, it seems that both teams did not have their best on the field, particularly the gunners. It seems as if the club is more so a hospital ward than an actual football team, with injuries of Clichy, Senderos, Adebayor, and Flamini. The thought of Adebayor not being in this match was troublesome, for he has been the king of North London recently, scoring goal after goal. My hubby (Fabregas) was in, but twas not the best choice--he was sick from a throat infection.

Manchester was missing Cristiano Ronaldo from the match today. The smug--albeit quite dashing--jerkoff had led the Red Devils in a stint as top of the EPL with his match-winning penalty kicks. Surely Manchester would suffer without their beloved diving winker --er...winger?

Nope. Not at all.

Arsenal lost 4-nil.

Humilating right? Coming straight home to check the scores immediately resulted in my heart clashing on the floor. But in retrospect, everything's gonna be alright. The Mancs can celebrate for now, but they'll be stuffing themselves with prawn sandwiches when we have the big prizes at the Emirates.

After all, it's the FA Cup. Why settle for the hamburger when you can have the fillet mignon? The gunners have other more important worries, such as the epic Champions League match against defending champions AC Milan on Wednesday. A match that I will rush home to catch, and I won't settle for missing a minute of it. With all these injuries coming about they must rest in order to be well for the big match.

Also, what have those devils? Quarter Finals in the FA Cup, eh? Well, the gunners are five points clear in the league. Ergo, still best of the league.

So despite the horrible outcome of today's match, I'm sure gooners around the world can agree that this is not something to worry over.

Looking on the bright side, at least we're not Liverpool, right?

Oh, and for some more reassuring smiles...
