Things That Made Me Smile This Week
1. Sky sports departments showing the graphic, "Wigan haven't beaten Arsenal in any of their previous 33 Premiership meetings."
Well leaving aside the obvious fact that 33 is an odd number it also ignores the fact that it isn't possible that Wigan could have met Arsenal either 32 or 34 times given the life of the Premiership and Wigan's short stay in it.
Fortunately ESPN solved the puzzle by announcing that Wigan haven't in fact beaten any of the 'Big Four' in 33 attempts - the odd number is because of the Man.Utd game the other week.
Moral of the story is check your facts Sky and don't believe what any Murdoch owned television station tells you is the truth!
2. A friend of Nathalie's told her that whenever the ice cream van came round on a Sunday playing it's merry Mr Whippy tune, her Dad would tell her not to bother asking because it only played the tune when it had run out of ice-creams. Cruel but funny!

hahaha (re the ice cream anecdote!)
Well Wigan beat Chealsea!
I see Arsenal have finally pulled their fingers out vs Fulham...(hope I haven't jinxed them now!!!)
I used to work for a bloke who told his kids the same lie about the ice cream man.
The same bloke told us that he once had a dream in which he had sex with Lee Dixon. Unwholesome, I know, but that's what he told us.
Shy - did he miss hear somebody when they said Arsenal had a tight back four? (I'd get my coat but this is my blog!)
