WIGAN PIER

Yes apparently The Arsenal know the way. However, it was a home game. DAMN!

Please excuse me, I am having a hard time remembering things right now. Jonfromnextdoor decided to invite me out to have some beers, which led us around the corner to Murphy's and running into P himself. Many shots were had but that is today and I'm not going to write about today.

Saturday was an ok day. I started they day out early, as usual and ran into Shane who shall remain nicknameless, simply because Shane is cool and has a bad ass name, for a scouse loving Irishman.

About halfway through Burnley Sunderland, ArseSaintNick and one of the Manc loving African contingent come in. They were a little loopy to begin with and started on the Heineken. A few after that, Floss and one of the other guys come in. I must admit, those guys are all major funny.

The story goes, 3 of them (minus Floss) were up watching Kenyan rugby all night long and it was someone's birthday as well or something like that. ArseSaintNick explained that a lot of the songs they were singing the other week were actually rugby songs. Then he broke into the chorus of -

I'm in love with the girl next door..... SMELL MY FINGERS!

I still don't know why I find that funny but it just is. ArseSaintNick and I had quite a long conversation about Tanzania and Kenya which was pretty interesting in itself. But his shining moment was when a replay was being played about 10 minutes after the original Burnley goal was scored.

ArseSaintNick jumps up all excited and is screaming about it. Shane keeps repeating the words "Replay, Replay, Replay." And poor HalfArseDean, who was sitting on the other side of Shane had this look of pure confusion. I couldn't help but just to silently laugh about the whole scene.

It took ArseSaintNick about 5 minutes to realize that it wasn't another goal that looked just like the one before. Of course I get blamed for not telling him it was a replay and Shane sits silently chuckling. Good times.

The Arsenal game came on and the pub started to fill up a bit more. Loudmouth showed up but for once, I WILL ADMIT, as well ArseSaintNick attest to, he was actually not too bad this week. He actually made sense. It was a miracle.

LilBlondieGooner made sure she pointed it out that I actually agreed with something that LoudMouthGooner said. She also pointed out that I still haven't come up with a good name for her boyfriend, which I really do need to do. He's a good guy with a broken hand. Apparently he tripped over the cat. HAHA ONE FOR CAT KIND!

Saturday Night

Texting about crappy bands at shows is funny.
Sending facebook messages with Jonfromnextdoor to ChelskiGirl, since she is in London is even funnier.
Getting text from ChelskiGirl about how homesick she is makes me feel bad.
Receiving comments back on facebook about ChelskiGirl wanting to kick Jonfromnextdoor's ass... PRICELESS!

Sunday.... Scum-Shitty

This is was an all time classic game. I really enjoyed it. Sheffield came down and met me, so we sang You Fill Up My Senses at least once. I decided to adjourn to upstairs next door, Jonfromnextdoor was working the bar and the pub was actually crowded with Shitty and Scum supporters.

I will admit. I did have one of the greatest breakfast burritos I have ever had. It was nice to sit next door. It was like having a private VIP view of one of the best matches that I have seen in a long time. I am still trying to get one of those Old Trafford Watches.

Poor, poor ACMilan. He got stuck in a small corner of the pub with a tiny television. It does stink when there is a big derby playing and the pub is sardined but he did get a telly after a bit of bribery, coercion and promises only an Italian football supporter would give.

We all hung around for the true Scum to be dismantled by the BlueScum. The Chelski boys didn't have as great of a showing...they usually do.

Overall Sheffield and I were our usual selves.

Saying all the wrong things at all the right times.

2010WC plans are being made. Barca stopped by, which is always good to see her, and made promises to coordinate. I really do need to be a better at staying in contact with people.
