It’s been a long week with plenty going on, so much so that I’ve forgotten to mention another result of interest to me from last Saturday night. While I was down in Portlaoise at the match that evening, the Irish Blog Awards ceremony was on here in Dublin. You might recall that I was short-listed in the Sports and Recreation category but you’ll probably also know by now that this award was won by Arseblog, whose acerbic wit and up-to-the-minute commentary on all things Arsenal always makes for an enjoyable morning’s perusal. It’s a result I can happily endorse: if it had come to a vote, he’d certainly have got mine.
