Oh how are we doing my friends? Sorry for leaving you for all this time. I know that must have been hard. We are, after all, best friends even though only I know this to be true. I’ve been a bit dead inside for the last week or so, but guess what, we all have to get on with it, because no one wants to drop to the street floor on the way to work, and be like, sh\*t, I was dead inside for the whole week before I landed here… I could have been making jokes about Spurs being bottom of the table, or Carrick being like Solskjær, or Chelsea still being rubbish after another mega spend. I’m feeling alive at others’ pain as I type, that’s the type of person I am, a real hater out here.
We have three weeks off, this is the longest amount of time I’ve been without Arsenal, without having a transfer window to talk about. A crazy challenge for a writer.
So where to start?
