Diaby v. Portsmouth

Arsenal have to buy this transfer window, and they have to buy players with experience. Flamini, Gilberto and Diarra gone, Walcott, Rosicky and now Fabregas injured. Leaves a bit of a hole in the midfield. Can Diaby fill the hole left by Fabregas?

Football in Canada

The Whitecaps won the USL First Division Championship, the Impact (of Montreal) are in the CONCACAF Champions League, and Toronto are winning again. Not bad.

Meanwhile, our Mens' National Team is a shambles: player dissent, inept coaching, executive bumbling. At least our women are doing well.

At the pick-up level, I haven't played in a while. Stupid jobs getting in the way. At least I have my Fantasy Football to keep me involved (7th in my pool!), but I haven't seen a match in ages.

Arsenal are winning on occasion, third in the league of late. My boy Walcott is finally coming good (as I predicted).

MyFC rolls on. Bit of a shambles as well.
