Wave to a Red Guinness!
Being that I’m a mover and shaker in the world, I was out traveling yesterday. Hence no post. Had some business in Houston, then I flew back for an awards banquet and I got my few free drinks then ducked out with a colleague to have some more beers at a bar across the street. Needless to say I’m a bit fuzzy today, but oh well. So without further delay, lets get crackin’.
Not much has been going on in the world of Arsenal football, though the young Gunners won the Carling Cup match against West Brom 2-0 (Aliadiere 34' (pen) and 49'). Also, it was recently reported that rightback Lauren (voted 2003 Premiership Player I Would Not Like to Meet in a Dark Alley), who has been injured since January has had some setbacks and probably won’t be back in the squad until the end of the year. Replacement Eboue, who is actually out right now to injury, has been playing well and gets forward more than Lauren ever did so he’ll make it tough for Lauren to get his spot back. However, I think Lauren will work hard and Wenger will give him some chances. He is a good player and one look from him can make you bend to his will.
In order to annoy my buddy Dave who is a Hammers supporter (only God knows why) I wanted to comment on the latest rumors that Sven Goran Eriksson has been linked to a move to West Ham! The lackadaisical Swede was seen talking to an Israeli company that is rumored to be part of a potential takeover of the club. Now, current gaffer Pardew may be a bit of a knob at times, but I don’t know how any Hammers supporter would be happy with Sven at the helm. However, Maybe Sven can convince Argies Torres and Maschereno to stay longer than January. Riiiiiigghhhttt.
Over in Espana, pretty boy Becks finally got a start this week, but it was in a Copa del Rey match against lowly 3rd division Ecija. Real boss Capello seems to be happy with the recent squad that beat Barcelona and Steaua Bucharest, so Golden Balls is likely to remain on the bench this weekend for the next league match. As much as Becks is “sad about it” it seems that old Fabio is getting things back in order at the Bernabeu as RM is only 2 points back of League leaders Barca. Becks and Posh may be scouting townhouses or Malibu mansions during the winter break.
Today, my friends, is an historic anniversary as we mark the 25th anniversary of “The Wave.”
If you are unfamiliar with this stadium phenomenon, then you have likely been chewing roots with the tribesmen of the Sepahua region of the Amazon. The wave was first initiated by nutter, I mean professional cheerleader, Krazy George Henderson at an Oakland A’s playoff game against the Yankees in 1981. Soon after, the bastards at the University of Washington tried to steal the wave and claim it was their brilliant idea. Krazy George was having none of that and has spent the last 25 years ‘educating’ the public.
Finally, for those of you who love the dark goodness known as Guinness, the makers of the brew (Diageo) plan on introducing a new Red Guinness. This beer will use lightly roasted barley, which will give the stout a reddish color. It will still need to be poured correctly in a two stage process though. Some trial runs in Britain are scheduled, so any British friends, let us know how it is, what it looks like, etc. This is a very serious issue. Iraq schmaq. Give us the info!!!
Adios.
