The past week
Has been an interesting one.
Arsenal spent the first part of the week in the media spotlight after their particularly unfortunate defeat to West Ham at the weekend.
Referee Rob Styles obviously found it difficult refereeing in front of a vociferous Upton Park crowd and several crucial decisions seemed to have been influenced by the crowd, either that or he is just a poor referee.
A stonewall penalty turned down after Spector hacked Hleb to the ground with the keeper to beat, Spector having already somehow escaped a straight red card after a shin high stud showing late tackle on Van Persie in the first half.
Arsenal pressed against a resolute West Ham side, and despite the penalty that Rob Styles missed, a draw would probably have been a fair result, but alas it was not be, Styles allowed Etherington to unfairly rob Flamini of the ball, fouling the young Frenchman twice inside one second, Etherington then crossed for Harewood to slam home from close range with 30 seconds left on the clock. Mr Wenger was not best pleased to say the least.
He will probably look back in embarrassment at the way he acted as Alan Pardew danced around celebrating the goal, a few choice words were exchanged and a short lived pushing match ensued. Mr Wenger still hasn't spoken to the media, even after last nights' game in the Carling Cup v Everton.
Arsenal defeated Everton by an Emanual Adebayor goal to nil last night at Goodison to progress to the Quarter Final of the league cup. Relying mostly on fringe and younger players, the stats show that Arsenal dominated the game, possession and chances wise but had to wait until the 86th Minute for the young tall Togo striker to grab the winner. Macfadden was sent off for Everton by Mr Poll and there seems to be a dispute as to the reason, either way he probably shouldn't have said whatever it was he said to the referee, but it is extremely rare to see a player red carded for Foul and Absuive language. But there ya go.
Mum and Dad have finally moved from the war zone formally known as Windsor close, so finally their lives can return to the peace and quiet they previously enjoyed without having to worry about some smashing their windows, or setting fire to their car or anything like that.
Let's hope that the Police can continue their crack down on the families causing the problems and the remaining residents of Windsor Close can also regain some peace of mind.
Work has been on the busy side, we are currently discussing me taking on responsbility for the BS billing, which seems to make me popular with that department, hopefully I can get it working the way I would like and it will be absorbed into my work load without me pulling my hair out.
K and I are off to see Arsenal V Hamburg at Emirates Stadium on the 21st Nov, very much looking forward to that.
Got a couple of games of golf arranged, this Sat morning with H and hopefully Monday 20th on the main course at Hoebridge with G.
Haven't finished the painting as yet, though am planning to complete it and perhaps start another this evening.
Right back to the grindstone, hmm a cup of tea first though I think.
