It’s Monday, traditionally a depressing day of unrelenting misery as we return to a life of unending toil for the Man.
But should we give our crystal balls an extra polish today or what? A rampant weekend of FA action yields two absolute shockers: first-up Man Utd spank Arsenal solid at Old Trafford. 2-0 up within twenty minutes and a Rampant Rooney Runs Riot to use our finest tabloidese.
Frankly humiliating for the Gunners and what’s wrong with my fellow Spurter Vlad? How has he managed to restrain himself from gloating of epic proportions, instead choosing to post on the highest paid sportsmen in NZ? WTF? Either he’s ill or a exercising inhuman restraint. Let it spurt Vlad, let it spurt.
Next up, Liverpool’s stunning 2-1 loss to Barnsley. Didn’t catch it, but apparently the Reds were all over the championship club but an inspired performance from stand-in keeper Luke Steele kept them at bay. A seagull took a pre-game dump on manager Simon Davies' head (surely an omen) and the Tykes stole it with a 93rd minute smash and grab. Blimey, we have gone all tabloid today.
Rafa may have been keeping his powder dry for tomorrow’s Champion’s League clash with Inter, but it’s looking damn soggy now. What’s it down to? Rotation? Those pesky American owners? A looming DIC bid? Being European capital of culture 2008?
Even arch-Scouser Jamie Carragher’s worried and ex-Anfield legends are queuing up to have a pop. Troubling times indeed for the Merseyside giants. Does everything hinge on winning the Champions league?

Like a compulsive gambler on a winning streak, I'm banking on Utd beating Lyon on Tuesday and Milan spanking Arsenal on Wednesday (double pain for Frankie at Dom's if that happens, as he is not just a Gooner but an Inter tifosi as well.)
And then I will gloat until I can gloat no more.
Still, Gooners, look on the bright side - at least you won't have pesky Spanish clubs trying to buy Fabregas anymore. Not after that performance...
