Arsenal 4 AZ Alkmaar 1


I managed to get to see the knee specialist early, he just confirmed everything I already knew.
Arthroscopy is booked for 27th. Having a torn medial meniscus means I will suffer earlier onset of arthritis - just how much earlier, no one can say. He is also a hip specialist and recommended I get a bone density scan just to check further if there was any recognizable reason for the stress fracture.
This goes on top of the MRI and CT I have already had!
I had the Bone Scan today (Dexa?). After chatting to the real  radiographer at St Andrews, Wickam Terrace, I deduced that I was above the average on my femur (good) but marginally below the average on the Lumbar vertebrae. Not much below so I don't think I have early onset osteoporosis (relief!!).
Official results later!

Tom Bedford has now written up his account of his 2h24m09 Marathon, check out his blog post here
Here is a proper photo of Tom wearing the black and white Shaftesbury Stripes.


Just how good have Arsenal been this season? 10 games at home and 10 Victories with 33 goals scored for! In Fabregas/Arshavin/Van Persie/Vermaelen we have World class players, In Arsene Wenger we have Footballing genius!
I love the Photo of Arsene when he was banished to the stands V Man U, he is a man of dignity whilst surrounded by the Northern hordes! He stands 'Christ like' but this time Arsene didn't get the miracle we deserved!

Dave, just stumbled upon your Blog by chance. I noticed in one of your photos a picture of you with Johnny Broe who I know down here in Sydney. Was he as good as he says he was!?!? I would love to get the inside word from one of his old training partners! Thanks, Matt.

Hi Matt,

Johnny Broe!!!
Check out my blog dated 12th Dec 2007, 13th Dec 2007 and 4th Jan 2008.
He is a Legend! I shall shall see what I can find out about his PB's.
It would not be decent to give the real inside word on him, on this forum! but tell him "Hi" from me!
The photo you mentioned is actually Stu Moore and Johnny.
Regards

Thanks Dave. I checked out those posts you mentioned, very funny. Yes he still likes a beer! Would be interested in the PBs if you have them. Good luck with the recovery from the injury. Matt
