Toinght on TV

I watched 3 things on telly tonight. I will tell you about them:

1) Burnley 2 Arsenal 0
Shit one really. We weren't even that bad for a bunch of kids, and fair play to Burnley for their cup run, but I still hate seeing us lose. The one tragic factor of this is, though, that some of the older bunch will get no competitive opportunity this season, and next year will be too late. I refer particularly to Jay Simpson, who I was very impressed with against Wigan. He turned 20 yesterday (Happy birthday Jay!) and i feel that he may be getting to old to have not yet made it through. I assume Wenger will be keen to showcase younger talent like Giles Sunu next year and, tragically for Jay, he may be the victim. He could really have done with another two games (semi-final) at least to give it his best shot. I wonder how many good players are stuck with difficult clubs and miss their opportunities. I just hope this isnt the case for young simpson. Come on you gunners!

2) Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe
This week there was a special edition featuring writers. It was very interesting, yet very disappointing. While it was good to hear the writers tips and pearls of wisdom, it was a shame that the audience werent given what they expected, which is the fantastic Mr. Brooker laying into various arseholes on telly, while being quite insightful and informative at the same time. I like the balance Charlie normally find between insightful information and calling people c*nts. Where would the world be if i had no one to tell me who was an arse. Return to form next week please Charlie!

3) David Walliams starring as Frakie Howard in some kind of biopic.
I only lasted through half of this, which is a shame because i thought it would be good, but i'm nearly 100% sure that frankie howard spent his life doing things other than stumbling around stage and getting wanked off by Timothy Spall's son, although you wouldnt know it from this crap. Maybe it got better, quite frankly i don't care. Walliams should realise that he's only two more gay stereotype characters away from no longer being respected and seen simply as an extra for Querr eye for the straight guy. Also his face annoy's me. althoug not as much as the guy with the weird nose from League of Gentleman, who is undoubtably satan himself. Walliams should stick to being Matt Lucas's side kick (if they could ever write origingal new mateiral- lads, ripping your own stuff off is not even intellignat copywrite theft. Also Rafe Spall should go back to character from Shaun of the Dead. Being an obnoxious prick turned braindead zombie id a perfect role, although anyone popping up in Green street is probably beyond saving.

So in conclusion, Doctor Who was not on, thus telly was a load of balls! Laterz x
