Welcome Abdul-Salam Bilal!

While Red was flirting with cardiac arrest, I was sleeping. Kick-off for my FA Cup tie was at 10:15am my time and my kind neighbors above us woke me up with their powerful speakers and the thumping bass of... Shania Twain at 10:00am. True story. Anyway, my morning was not made any more pleasant after I got them to turn it down as I was treated to the new exciting same old efficent Chelsea football. Not really a game worth waking up for at anytime, the cup tie was pretty boring. However, the inevitable occured as Abdul-Salam Bilal (commonly known as Nicolas Anelka, or Le Sulk) finally scored for Chelsea. To add insult to the injury of watching the game, the trademark butterfly celebration Adbul-Salam engages in was not visable on my telecast. The assist for the goal of the diminutive English winger turned midfielder/adopted son of Ian Wright, was brilliant and sometime shortly after that the game was mercifully over, victory achieved. In short, I am excited to have Abdul-Salam at the club, and think it will prove to be a good signing. With the draw for the next round mere hours away, the march for the mythical quadruple continues!
