it's football mate! (massive - get stuck in - proper fish n'chip-lager supporters club) i am all these things:

big weekend mate - get stuck in, right? for examples - me & me flat mate headin' down t'white heart lane for da "norfh lundon darby" (north london derby - to Americans) yeah' mate - Spurs & the Arse' (Tottenham Hotspur v. Arsenal - to Americans) gettin' set ta'tangle up- proper match. (COME ON YOU SPURS!!)

but on the serious - huge match (as always) but there seems to be more talking points this year than in previous - Robbie Keane's return to Spurs after a 6 month stint at Liverpool (was it all just a dream?) - the end of the transfer window - Will recently acquired Russian wiz-kid Andrei Arshavin make his Arsenal debut? Can Harry (Houdini) Redknapp perform another magical escape & keep Spurs out of the drop zone? & what of Harry handing the Captain's armband immediately back to Keane upon his return? (SOMEBODY, ANSWER ME!!!)

& what about this Beckham loan deal? i have to say, I saw this coming all along. Hear me now: there is no way he leaves Milan to come back to play in MLS - No Way! Beckham fans,....just prepare yourselves. I suppose I'm kind of neutral in the matter - I mean I've never been one to get my panties (pink-silk-lace) all up in a bunch over goldenballs. I do find the AC Milan loan move quite interesting - we'll see. Italy has been incredibly entertaining this year. Milan have shot up to 2nd in Serie A upon Mr. Posh's arrival. something, not sure what, but something has changed in an ageing Milan side since David's insertion into the squad - I mean HE'S STARTING!! Something must be going right,...

United deal with the Hammers this weekend - who currently set mid-table , so on paper we should win it - but West Ham tend to beat us at least once a yr, EVERY YEAR!! should be interesting. Injuries still plague the champions & Rooney still looks to be another week or so on the sidelines nursing the hammy.

(Oh S! this just in, Rooney could very well feature for the Reds on Sunday - no starting situation but it looks like he makes the bench)

& how will a Gerrard-less Liverpool cope without their talisman? Can we hope for the beginning of mindless sprawl into a downward spiral? Yes, we can. Rafa' has obviously lost the plot, or should I say: he's starting to loose the plot. any-old,....

all these things,..enjoy your weekend, David Brent would want you to,...
