I read elsewhere that Arsenal were on the receiving end when Rooney dived against them - used in 'taste of their own medicine' sense. Couple of things on that really. Firstly, it was a different ruling body. UEFA for one, the FA the other. Secondly, after playing Liverpool and Manchester United year in year out, having been rightly ridiculed for Super Robert Pires famously theatrical fall against Portsmouth and Franny Jeffers penalty-gaining flop against the aforementioned Liverpool, Arsenal can hardly be considered unfamiliar with diving. No worse, no better than the rest of the league. Revisionists, Pah!
We will see whether the opposition fans adjust their attitude to the Croatian/Brazilian starting with the Wigan fans but not properly tested 'til a week later at the Craven Cottage. We'll see.
Remember my affiliate plan. Well, I finally knuckled down and finished the first article. The fact that it took the best part of two days to knock up a 350 word article (and I really don't think I'm that thick!) has daunted me a little. Plus no traffic here. No traffic to my squidoo lens. Did I mention when I went to submit it the first time, Ezine was down? Eventually, after checking for plagiarism, proof-reading and re-proof-reading I completed the profile part of Ezine and uploaded the article. I then struggled to make the signature line work right and stumbled over the link submission.
Initially I submitted the ClickBank hoplink. Ezine complained about it being too long. So off I went to bit.ly and got it shortened. Reposted. Still too long. Then I remembered the video and thought it shouldn't be the hoplink - don't try to sell them anything. So I then went off to get my squidoo lens page. Link too long. Back to bit.ly, returning with my shortened squidoo link. Nope. Still too long. Then I read what the message actually was and accordingly shortened my 'click here to find out more' too many words in the link detail.
One of my mentors sent through an article, from his blog I think, that in the header asked the question 'Is it Wrong to Blog about Your Mistakes?' I confess I didn't read the article - yet.
However, one thing I know for sure. If I didn't blog about my mistakes, this would be an alarmingly short blog.
Welcome to the disappointment.
