Preview: Sunderland v Arsenal
So, we’re headed up north to the Stadium of Tighty-Whiteys again. It’s where we ended last years campaign. Will it be cold way up there? I’ve never been to Sunderland, or anywhere in Tyne and Wear for that matter. I hear it’s somewhere just north of Finland. But you know us Americans, can’t even find our own dicks without a map.
As I think I may have mentioned last season, there’s something about Roy Keane that I like as a manager. He seems overly intense during a match, as if it were forced. But in the few post-match interviews I’ve seen him give, he’s one of the more down-to-earth managers I’ve ever heard reflect on the match, win or lose. Of course, none of this means I don’t want each of our strikers and their subs to score a hat trick this weekend. While we’re at it, let’s just get this out of the way then, shall we? The Scurvy Prognostication of The Match is:
Sunderland 2-11 Arsenal
With three from Adebayor, three from van Persie, three from Vela and two from Bendtner who will show up with a slight hangover. We’ll leak two goals from the corner when William Gallas loses his marker and then does a bit of yelling and screaming. Again.
