Horses, horses everywhere...

Isn't it typical, you wait all year for a horse story and then two come along at once. Like the number 7 going up the Ormeau Road in Belfast, or whatever your local bus is that decides it's too afraid to drive up a road on it's own so it'll wait for it's mate.

I'm still really sick, be prepapred for a hell of a lot more nonsense ahead. At this point, I'd even consider eating VP's horse placenta, never mind just rubbing it somewhere (why does that sound rude?)

So the boredom of the interlull has seen some bloggers and 'reporters' linking us with a move for Ol' Horseface himself. Should I even give this rumour any time at all? Perhaps only to say that it is probably the only signing we could possibly make which would see Butternut's stauts at the club rise by some height from the depths of most disliked & pointless Arsene signing.

The news coming out regarding young Gibbs injury is not heartening at all as there are suggestions that his metatarsal may be broken. Which one we don't yet know, but any break is not a good thing. Does anyone ever remember hearing of a metatarsal before the introduction of blades? Perhaps something to be looked at.

The only good thing that I can see with this latest injury is that Traore was supposed to be 'just short' for the Wolves game and the injuries we're getting are in positions where we are thankfully strong in depth. There's a lot of opposing fans out there basically telling Arsenal fans to shut up about injuries and that's what squad depth is supposed to be about and if our manager wasn't so tight we'd have no problems, but seriously, how would ANY club in the world deal with the loss of 10 fringe and current first-teamers? Not as well as Arsenal, that's how. Look at how Liverpool have imploded with the injury of two or three, look how Man U have struggled with just the sale of one of their top players, and it will be very interesting to see how Cheslea deal with the couple of injuries they have picked up recently.

Needless to say, Arsenal fans worldwide will be holding their breath as they await news from the internationals especially when you consider that the players likely to figure tonight are Cesc, Vermaelen, Gallas, Sagna, and Arshavin. Hardly what you'd call 'fringe' players. There should be some rule in place, especially with regards to the pointless friendlies, like Saving Private Ryan, when a club has already suffered a ridiculous amount of injuries, national sides should be forced to send the remaining players from that club home just to be on the safe side.

I'll leave it there, the world is not a happy place at the minute. Dizziness, sickness, no Arsenal football and a player crocked almost daily, maybe I should do the lotto for tonight, afterall, the luck has to change at some point.

Before I go, I'd just like to let you know that the Tshirts on Arsenaltshirts.com have been reduced to £12.99 and the site hosting them seem to have fixed the problem which made all the images look like a big pile of blurred mush. Go have a look at the UK store (there's a USA one too incase you'd prefer to buy from that side of the pond), you won't be disappointed and there's loads of red ones as well as others you can pick your own colour of Tshirt. All very 21st century. Unless you're skint, then it's just cruel.
