Racism 2 Football 0

Rosie is currently unavailable for comment.

Apparently there were some of you out there who were hoping ‘football was the winner’ over FA Cup Round 4. Anyone who managed to sit through the entire 90 minutes of QPR v Chelsea, knows that football was definitely not the winner. The match was such a tedious affair that there was a conspiracy generated that the clubs were asked to lull both sets of fans into some form of coma. Job done. If this were actually true, I’d like to know why they asked that of the clubs at Norwich v Chelsea. 

In other Chelsea news, Frank Lampard has been sending gift baskets to both Florent Malouda and Raul Meireles for making his case for him. With their current form and athletic prowess, they have guaranteed Frank the starting position that he had been demanding. Well done Florent and Raul. Enjoy the mini-muffins.

Of course, in all of this there’s been a shining star for weeks that I have been unceremoniously banned from speaking about on The Chelsea Football Fancast an unnamed podcast--David Luiz. For the ridiculous criticism that he continues to take from the tedious drones on MOTD unnamed pundits it really goes to show that it’s hard to get beyond a first impression. Sure AVB forces him to wear a little collar which zaps him with a little electricity if he wanders too far past the halfway line, but it’s proved a successful technique. 

And in honour of spicing up deadline day and following in the footsteps of the ‘great’ comebacks as of late: Henry, Scholes, Stone Roses (I know -- I don’t find any of these returns exciting either), Steven Pienaar has opted to return to Everton after his spectacular time at Sp*rs. It’s unclear if the bloke who handcuffed* himself to the Everton goalposts last night did this in honour of or protest to Pienaar’s return. 

Also making a statement of intent in regards to Pienaar’s return, Louis Saha has opted to leave the club after three and a half years to head in the opposite direction.

And for those of you who’ve been a little down about the weather, not to worry. Spring is around the corner. How do I know? The calendar? Far too conventional. Arsenal has suffered a long term injury. For those of you who expected RVP to be the first injured, and let’s be honest, even his teammates had money on that, you’re wrong. Jack Wilshere has welcomed in The Gunners spring by experiencing a stress fracture in his foot. He may or may not be back for the end of everyone else’s season. 

Reports from North London have not confirmed nor denied whether the injury was suffered by Wilshere tripping over a small dog and a subsequent deposit being made into an account by the name Rosie47. Gunnersaurus is set to investigate.

Roll on the weekend
