Arsenal away. What was the score? 0-4 It was inevitable really wasn't it? And despite Mystic Reets physic feelings we got stuffed again away from home - no embarrasment this time, just more questions about team selection, tactics, defensive mistakes, our passing and approach to the game.

Kishishev was back in the team because one can only assume that he did the most amazing things you will ever see with a football during training in the week, Jeffers was injured so Euell took his turn to play up front. How long will a stiff neck keep Jeffers out? At our club an ingrowing toe nail can be fatal so who knows?

For me, I was in a Madison, WI car park drinking on the Saturday morning before the College American Football game I was seeing - tailgating they call it here. The result was no surprise to me, especially when an hour had passed after the final whistle and my 'cell' was still silent, it was pretty obvious we had got beat. I knew if we had drawn or even more crazy, won, then I would have had half a dozen calls from flabbergasted and speechless Addicks.
