I gotta say it has been a long 3 weeks since I kissed Chiromo goodbye….a lavishly way to cause lamentation from those folks going back to the den in the coming months. What can I say: Mombasa was a great time, from the night in the cells and the famous trips to the barracks to catch one or two. K14; I just had to mention the brothers and sisters who had a rough up to the NPS (Nyali Police Station). What a terrifying ordeal…..the faces could tell it all. Whooah, the ladies were looking fine and polished to the toe! Poleni sana.

The trip to the lake was an equally amazing one and a nice way I could furnish myself with the outside world. It’s such a hidden treasure in the woods of the Crayfish Camp where it all went down. The parties and the niceties in the form of beautiful people and food. The tents are quite cosy too. All in all, it was the best way to get down to the lounging business just before a cumbersome year ahead of annuities and other actuarial mayhem.

Back in town and the gunners were out in Amsterdam, the “grass” land. Van Persie back home…mmh, and the Basten boys had something to prove to Wenger. Their long awaited dream came true as they went ahead through Suarez and Huntelaar strikes late in the first half. 2-0 at halftime and any arsenal fan would be cursing. It was not to be a fun second half for the home side as the gunners came out firing from all angles. Ade’s well calculated header at the far post reduced the deficit as Niklas Bendtner came off the bench to level things up after a well calculated move from the main man, Adebayor. A perfect one-two with Brazilian youngster Denilson culminated into a third for the gunners and two for Adebayor for the night,sunmming up a pre-season goal spree for the Togolese international.

Final Score 3-2 in favor of Arsenal
