'Tis the season to be thankful...for few injuries

No AC D.C. rosters to think about this week, and busy all week in the hospital. My thoughts turn to: what am I thankful for?

First of all, I'm thankful that few of you this season have been injured. Luis' tibial plateau fracture is basically healed, and Captain Jeff's foot is in fact not broken (this is his actual X-ray, which I have used without his permission...so sue me). Once the swelling and pain go down, he'll be able to play as long as he is not a sissy. Luis "Juggernaut" Campillo should be back in time for Futsal.

This is an opportunity to show you all the nastiest AC D.C. X-ray of all time. About two years ago, Georgie came to me saying that he broke his hand during an indoor game, and his orthopedic surgeon wanted to put pins across the fractures through the tip of the fingers. Needless to say, that's just crazy, so Georgie was directed to our team orthopedics department. This is his actual X-ray after the surgery, and notice the metal in his hand! As you all know, our senior keeper is insane, so he played with that hand one week about the implantation of the metal. Yay!

So, I'm thankful we have a lunatic for a keeper, and that his left hand is still functional, if only marginally (doh!). What are you thankful for? Share it with us. It could be anything, like:

materialistic: "I got a new car."

sanguine: "I got rid of a loveless relationship."

childish: "I got my Wii!"

sugar sweet: "I have a new lover in my life."

alcoholic: "I found a new Martini recipe!"

patriotic: "I got tickets to the inauguration parade!"

and finally, "I'm the luckiest person in the world cuz I play for AC D.C."

Whatever it may be, share it with your teammates. I'll close by saying that I am thankful that Arsenal won yesterday, having started a new era with a new captain (Cesc! Cesc! Cesc!). And I am always grateful that I have all of you sharing your time, talent, and camaraderie with me on this our team.
