Gooners in Exile: Last Time on Gooners in Exile...

So I've been away for a while on a vacation to the islands of Xbox 360 and haven't blogged much. Here is a recap of all the games we missed.

Things in common:

I watched them all.

I was at Nevadas for all but the Carling Massacre.

They were all too early. Even the afternoon ones on Tuesdays.

I had beer.

Devo screamed his "Mind the gap" cheer really loudly and all alone.

Jakes was sick. I guess.

Newcastle did not score in any game I saw.

Things of note:

Devo was almost killed by a Chelsea fan, a Spurs fan, and probably some other people for his antics, which he does surprisingly sober. The Spurs fan in particular sized him up for a brawl after his squad lost their win against United. But he backed down because he was a loser, drunk, and saw me behind Devo flexing my neck. Don't tell Devo.

The Man U vs Arsenal FA Cup game NEVER HAPPENED. It was rained out and Arsene let Man U through to the next round out of courtesy.

Liverpool lost t0 some high school team in their FA match.

Young Elias was nearly head butted into an emergency room by some Man U thug who got a little nasty post match. Scrappy warrior that he is, Elias either bravely or foolishly kept at him. Ironically, he had tried to order an Irish Car Bomb earlier but Jack warned him that it caused fights.

Eduardo received a minor injury to his foot. The one that had fallen off.

Manuel Almunia admitted to living in a haunted house. I think it's just Jens in a sheet fucking with him.

We bought donut holes for all the Arsenal faithful but discovered what we should have already known: No one in New York will eat anything a stranger gives them. Ever. More delicious dough for us then.

I had a bloody mary at 7:30 in the morning. And it saved my life.

Ward and I managed to keep from consuming 2 beers before the match had begun.

Jakes got a lot more sleep than the rest of us.

Last Bit:

I got new armor to celebrate Belarus' favorite son, Alexander Hleb. But you can call him "Alexander the Great", "Hleb and Flow", "The World Wide Hleb", "Hlebster's Unabridged English Dictionary" and Vana White (cause someone needs to buy a vowel).
