What Day Is It? Ah Yes, The Last One
May 9th, 2008 by 'holic
The beer of the week is Thwaites Champion Dark Mild from….oh, sorry. Wrong damn blog. I thought this was the Arsecast (more of which later). It is ages since I have drunk a mild though and I found this in the supermarket yesterday. Yum-yum, a rare treat.
I’m rambling, I know. Apologies first of all for the dearth of posts this week. Mrs ‘holic had an operation on Wednesday so my energies have been expended in other directions. Forgive me.
Much has happened in terms of speculation about who may or may not be going, or coming, or holding us to ransom. At this point the vast majority of it is just that. Speculation. I’ll comment more when things appear to be actually happening or when there is bugger all else to ramble on about.
So the worst day of the season is almost upon us. The last one, boo, or indeed, boo-hoo. We will shed a tear about what might have been when the final whistle blows at Sunderland, and our mixture of non-internationals and sea scouts have ripped apart Keano’s Premiership survivalists.
Actually, that may or may not happen. We obviously travel with a side that would not have taken the field if we could still claim even second place. We know that Kieran Gibbs and Mark Randall, both back from Championship loan spells are in the squad. It would be surprising if one or two more teenagers were not given a chance.
The make-up of the side could be so experimental that a prediction is a wasted exercise. The ‘holic pound will therefore be invested in a bag of chips on my way home from the hospital on Sunday. I suggest you do something similar.
If you are going up to the Stadium of Light, and I know one or two who are, wrap up warm. Every time I have been up there it has been bloody freezing. Know this and remember it. Weather forecasters are lying bastards.
Jealous – Moi? Too Bloody Right!
Now, I cannot let the one bit of big news that really happened pass without comment. Arseblog is going all corporate on us. I think most Arsenal blogs owe a great chunk of their readership to the faceless Blogger. I know the support I have had from him and the good folks at Arsenal-Land is what put Holic on the map, so to speak.
I would like to wish the man, whoever he may be, and whatever he looks like, all success with his new venture under the OleOle banner. Getting paid for writing bollocks about Arsenal. That’s amazing. I write bigger bollocks than him, if any other wannabe OleOle type geezer is reading. My arsecast fees have just doubled, by the way. Where’s my calculator? Now what is nothing times two?

Whatever he looks like, heh?
I’ll pay you a customary Guinness every time I see you if nobody else is ready to give you big bucks!
Bag of chips for one pound? Bah, you could have bet on a funny 5-4 type scoreline.
Keep rambling on, always a pleasure to read!
Can I start a campaign to keep ‘holic’s blog independent?
Top article, pleae pleae can someone do something about that Myles P cunt???
His latest piece of shit article is effin unbelievable!
You can start the campaign Jackster, but an ice-cream and £55k a week and I’m corporate baby!
Brown Envelope, I stopped reading MP’s rubbish ramblings along time ago. Goonerholic and 1 or 2 others blogs are the only ones I read with relish.
Flamini and Hleb leaving.Its nothing.I still haven`t recovered from that pratt Bertie Mee selling Charlie George.
Best wishes for Mr`s `holic`s speedy recovery.
I write bigger bollocks than him
No arguments from me on that part, holic.
And cheers. And you know what twice nothing is, don’t you?
Cheers ‘holic,

Talk about smooth transitions. Arses and oleole both down for maintenance. You could be the provider of the other other place. Best wishes to you and your Missus.
I’m sure they’ll be back soon xyzzy. I’ll be back after MOTD.
Goodnight ‘holic
Ha, xyzzy beat me to it to the ‘are these the new arses’ joke.
Time for L’equipe du dimanche here, although I might not really watch it due to the mancspunk that will no doubt be on offer.
NYTOL
Well ahem, I’d just like to say ‘Toblerone, out on its own, triangular chocolate, that’s Toblerone’
