Happy St. Tottenham's day




Woop woop

For anybody who doesn't know, Elementary is a modern-day version of the Sherlock Holmes stories set in New York City.

Vinnie Jones, who you might remember from this picture (or as the rabid Man United fan in EuroTrip), plays Sebastian Moran, the guy who carries out murders ordered by Sherlock's nemesis, Moriarty.

And Elementary's version of Sebastian Moran happens to be a big Arsenal fan.



He eventually winds up in prison, and this happens:

Also, he sings.  Really creepily.

(Spoiler alert for the 5/2/13 episode 1x21)



I can't whether this delights or upsets me.

...like Jay-Z, for example:

Perhaps eager to join the chorus of boos for Robin van Persie upon his return to Emirates Stadium, Jay-Z was in attendance for Arsenal's 1-1 draw against Manchester United along with friend, collaborator and Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin.

Jay-Z, a part owner of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets until he recently started his own sports management agency, previously attended Man City's match against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium in 2010 as a guest of City. He later clarified his allegiances to Arsenal Magazine:

“After that game the press started reporting that I was a Manchester City fan, I am really glad all that has been cleared up and that everybody in the UK knows that I am an Arsenal fan.

“I will come to Emirates soon that's for sure. I love London as a city, it’s just finding time when I am over here for a few days to come and watch a game. I will find time soon, I will make sure of it.”

And three years later, he did.

Jay also explained how he first became an Arsenal supporter.

“It was about five years ago now,” explains the ten-time Grammy Award winner. “When Thierry Henry was at the club I saw him play and I just thought he was an amazing player, ever since then I have been a big fan of the club, following you guys and still today you play the beautiful football that Thierry did, I think he had a real long term effect on the team."

“I love all sports, but what I really love is when people play sport in a beautiful way, and that's one thing Arsenal do for sure."

So now that Jay-Z has finally made it to the Emirates, he really should go watch Martin's favorite club, League Two side Exeter City.

I think we should be thankful and hopeful for tomorrow for Wigan our game on Sunday! And whatever happens, we are the hottest team, frankly. And...

As there isn't much stuff going on at this community lately, I thought it would be nice share here this interview with Walcott that went out this week in a free sport magazine that circulates here in London.

Theo Walcott: Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Theo Walcott speaks exclusively to Sport about contract sagas, the boss and why he'll never forget his first day as an Arsenal player.

You know, this is Arsenal, so this is what happens...they tell us "out for two weeks" and then two years later you ask yourself: "It's been awhile since I saw this or that player...I wonder what happened..."

Club announcement: Abou Diaby injured himself in training and will be out for NINE FUCKING MONTHS

So based on that ratio, my darlingest boy will be out for 36 years until 2049...

I could very possibly be dead by then, of course!

*sob*



We meet Reading this weekend. I want to make a prediction to match the mood of this post. Having scored against them 1000 times already this season, brace yourselves for a 0-0 draw. YOU KNOW IT.

*sob*

But I'm feeling kind of good right now. This is a Free For All post.
