well what do i have to bitch about this time...

2006-05-23T07:22:00.000-06:00

nothing really. :).arsenal signed czech international midfielder, tomas rosicky from borussia dortmund today for an undisclosed fee. he's a short little workhorse with a powerful shot apparently. if he works as hard as freddie, i'll be happy. it probably means bobby pires is out tho. unfortunate, but he has been showing his age of late. we'll see how he plays in the WC. the hype around him

well thank god for that

2006-05-19T08:32:00.000-06:00

VA VA VOOM is staying!never really had a doubt :). especially after the champions league final.taken from the bbc news website: "At one point it crossed my mind to leave," he told a news conference on Friday, two days after Arsenal lost the Champions League final to Barcelona. "But I think with my heart and my heart told me to stay." He added: "I've never played in Spain and

2006-05-15T07:44:00.000-06:00

seriously, what has become of the knickerbockers? this (lupica article (5/15)) would be the worst move imaginable and makes me hate isiah thomas that much more. maybe the plan is to have the worst record again next season and have a run at ogden. brown wouldn't accept that idea and maybe that's why he is being shown the $40 million door. bah.in other ny sport news, randy johnson will never be

2006-05-08T09:29:00.000-06:00

1000th win for the manager and the yanks don't look so shabby so far.shaky area is pitching but mainly in long relief and not starting pitching as some might think. it's always either proctor, sturtze, or small looking not so hot when given the ball in the 6th or 7th and it's not going to look much better when jaret wright joins them.unit, mussina, wang, chacon, pavano... assuming pavano stays

it seems that i can start talking about arsenal again since their form in champions league has seemed quite spritely. we still need to finish in the top 4 of the premiership to confirm a spot for next year and maybe not have thierry run away.speaking of thierry henry...186 goals and counting!!! and what a stunner # 185 was!

news in today that the gunners have sold our captain, patrick vieira to juventus for a measly 20 million euros. shocker, considering we turned down a 45 million euro offer last summer from madrid. ah well, maybe arsene does know best, especially with the emergence of fabregas and flamini last season. our midfield will be a little wussy tho...maybe wenger has essien lined up?anyway, a final
