4 hours to go...sign Zidane

Since I've wasted a lot of time since June 1 reading thread upon thread of ridiculous transfer rumors for Arsenal, I've decided that I might as well just keep Sky Sports News on in the background as the Transfer Window mercifully comes to an end today. It should have been yesterday but some Bank Holiday in the UK gave us an extra day of "fun".

Here are the two things that currently puzzle me 1) It looks like Senderos is staying and 2) who exactly does Wenger plan on playing while Song is gone at the African Cup of Nations?

I'm a little bummed about the international break this weekend. I'd really like to watch another game and wipe out last weekend's dreadful collapse out of my memory bank. Nothing like giving the ref a chance to call and a pk and then score an uncontested own goal for the road loss. It's actually quite impressive to lose like that. Oh and I also forgot to mention Gallas being called for offsides while Van Persie scored what looked to be the equalizer in the 95th minute. At that moment I broke my phone.

Seriously.

Ok I've decided that I want Arsenal to pick up Zidane.

I think it's only fair. I also think it would be hilarious.

**I couldn't sleep last night so I went to the gym around 445am. I sent up a fairly difficult circuit in the studio and went at it for about 40 minutes. You can get good odds in Vegas on me falling asleep at my desk before lunch.

**David James would probably sell his soul to the devil to get out of Portsmouth.

**The Nats stranglehold on the most losses in MLB has dwindled down to 6 games. I'm officially worried.

**Every time I consider cleaning out my truck I always put it off because a trip to RFK is only days away. I mean why clean your truck out when it's destined to pick up miscellaneous crap down there.

**It's impossible to buy a decent College Football preview magazine. After having no luck over the past two days at about 8 different local stores - Giant, Safeway, CVS, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, Target, etc - I will be making a trip to Barnes and Noble today.

**I'm not sure what I've seen more of recently: Starbucks or Fantasy Football magazines. I had no idea that the public's thirst for meaningless rankings was at such an all-time high. I'm not sure what it means, but I doubt it's a good thing.

**I wonder what couch Rocky is sleeping on right now.
