God I'm hungover. So hungover. Thursday nights out are a killer. But it was worth it. Why? Because I went to Faces. I'd never been before, but I'd seen Ledley on the front page of the Metro falling out the front door so many times, I felt like a regular. Needless to say it was a good night, and thankfully I didn't bump into Aaron and T Hudd breakdancing with a hareem of women. But the vodka flowed and I can't really think at the moment so this will be short and sweet.
Lennon's ego must be bigger than Alan Sugar's right now. The praise he's been getting the past 24 hours is akin to Obama-mania so hopefully he'll keep his feet on the ground, his head down and keep running fast. Very fast. Hopefully straight past Patrice Evra. Here's what Lamps had to say about our very own Billy Whizz:
"I think Aaron is a fantastic player. He can be as good as he wants to be. He can be an absolute world beater."
Tomorrow's game gives Azza a good chance to prove Fat Frank right. Evra is widely regarded to be one of the best left-backs in the world and he got given a right royal shafting by Lennon at Wembley back in the spring, so it'd be jolly nice if the same happens again tomorrow.
Team news is a bit thin on the ground, mainly because Arry only got his rascals back today. Rumour has it King and Bassong are both fit to play so I'm guessing it'll be the usual in defence. Gomes might be back, which would be nice. Cudicini hasn't filled me with confidence this season and no clean sheets in 4 games is bad for my fantasy football team so I'd welcome a return for the octopus. The left berth is open after Luka's gammy fibula left him resting till November. My heart says Giovanni but my head says new signing Nico Kranjcar, who I thought looked pretty handy for Croatia on Wednedsay. And then there's the strikers where it'll be 2 from 4 and probably a change. Arry's been bigging up Crouchy recently and I reckon he'll be starting which means Keano on the bench. Not sure how the paddy primadonna will take that, but the beanpole breakdancer will cause Utd problems so I think it's the right call.
Nowt much else to say. It's North London against Manchester this weekend so let's hope the Etihad boys give the Gooner Emirati a good thrashing. Wins for us and City would really rile the Sky 4....
