I am criminally forgetful

At the end of yesterday’s blog post I promised that today I would provide an in-depth ‘Boro preview. I had forgotten, however, that we don’t actually play Middlesbrough until tomorrow. I had also forgotten than I don’t have time for fully-fledged bloggery, as I am scheduled to take part in the annual Arseblog 5-a-side tournament, where my team (the reknowned ‘White Team’) will be attempting to take home the trophy for the third year running. This forgotten fact led to me being out until some 4am last night, which I’m not sure is advisable for athletes engaging in such top level competition.
In news that you’re somewhat more likely to care about, Cesc Fabregas and Phil Brown have both been charged by the FA over ‘spit-gate’ – though Cesc has been charged twice and Brown just the once, which I suppose makes it 2-1 to Hull. If only Hull had picked up a few more results similar to that one, perhaps they wouldn’t be in serious danger of relegation.
Arsene Wenger is “very positive” about the charges, and I’m certain that there is no video evidence to prove that Cesc Fabregas spat at any member of the Hull staff. I’m sure the FA will, however, find the Spaniard guilty of “coming onto the pitch after the final whistle”, though how exactly they’ve deemed that an offence of any sort is beyond me. I like how they’ve specified that it was “after the final whistle”, as if had he just wondered on during the game it’d have been fine.
I’m off to attempt my best Andrey Arshavin impersonation in the 5-a-sides. Wish me luck.
There will be be a Middlesbrough preview tomorrow. And this time it’s the truth.
