That's cool. I went to the Great Ormand St Hospital when I was very young, getting my eyes checked for something or other and my brother had his appendix taken out there. Famous and highly rated kid's hospital in England.
I'm not feeling overly optimistic about getting a win on Saturday. It's always tough for us going up the NE, we have lots of injuries, plus coming off an international break and Sunderland has a very good home record. Keeping my fingers crossed though so we have a chance to go above Chelscum soon.

BBC reports: "Dutch radio just reports
that Van Persie will be flown to a hospital in Holland to take
scans/photos, nothing known about how serious the injury is though."

Most important, it does not drag. I have my own personal bias about films. I don't think a movie should exceed 100 minutes and this one tells its story and stops. It leaves you wanting a little more, instead of looking at your phone or watch the last 10-15 minutes waiting for the credits.

Arsene was complaining at the beginning of the season that the increased English tax rate would drive lots of EPL players to places like Spain and drain the league of elite, non-English talent. This story suggests that fear may have been premature.
What's the tax rate in Italy? Would talent flow there, or would things stay mostly as they are?

I'm watching Miguel Pelligrini hop in the Real Hart Shaffner & Marx skillet after getting bounced from the Copa del Rey by a lower division team, and I wonder what Arsene Wenger thinks?
He was offered the job but I suspect he knew what's becoming clear again.
No matter what promises Florentino Perez may have made, the director chooses the Kitmakers' players in Madrid, not the manager.
How long would Arsene last there? He was too smart to seek an answer.
I'm really pumped about this! Glad so many folks will be in town. I've sorely missed the weekly camaraderie. Plus, to have the Charity Friendly plus Chelsea v Arsenal on Thanksgiving weekend is something I am very thankful for!

Yes, I agree with Jens. It is a friendly. We will not slide tackle, shoulder charge, headbutt, kick, trip or display any type of aggressive play. Just play the Arsenal way and run rings around them and hopefully crush them with the scoreline at the end of the day. We will laugh and smile and say polite Texas things like "howdy!" as we make them run around chasing shadows.
Of course, in last season's game at Dubaibury our lads ran rings around them and they wound up putting 4 in the back of the net. Wossup with that?

Actually Scott... I haven't won a thing since I can't play due to the metal plates in my femur. I just want this to be a friendly. Which means no slide tackles etc. I don't want this to turn into a grudge match. It's not the point.

The game is still on for November 28, 10am - 12pm. The game will be played @
Northeast Metropolitan Park in Pflugerville. The field is field No. 1. The game
will consist of 45 minutes halves, unlimited subs. I have attached a web link
for the map of this park. The game will be on field #1. We tried our best to
get a field closer to Cuatro's, but due to cost for insurance bonds etc..this
was the best choice. Just be reassured that we will be playing on a very good
field & there are very good bathroom facilities @ the soccer complex @ NE Metro
Park. We will have a league referee but no line judges, please be nice to him as
he is donating his time for our event. Because it is a county park, in case it
rains the day before,or day of game, the county has the right to close the park.
If this happens then we will have to postpone the game. Here is the map link
for the park & current team roster. We will have a league referee but no line
judges, please be nice to him as he is donating his time for our event. Marc
and George have my number in the event of rain, so they can call me to check to
see if we are a go or not. Representatives of the Charity, Colins Hope will be
on hand, so you can find out more about their work here in Austin. Please make
any checks out for your participation payable to Colins Hope (tax deductible) or
bring cash $25. You will be fed at Cuatro's after the game and more than likely
adult beverages will be included for your donation.
See you then,
