Nuclear Poisoning: Could That Explain Recent Form?

By: Trent | December 4th, 2006

nuclear.gifThis weekend’s victory over Tottenham nothwithstanding, Arsenal have had a lackluster recent run at the new Emirates Stadium. Observers had figured that leaving the friendly confines of Highbury had made the club sluggish as it adapts to the new ground.

Now comes word that UK authorities are checking the Emirates Stadium for traces of polonium-210 in the wake of the Alexander Litvinenko poisoning in London. Seems that some persons believed to be connected to the Cold War-style assassination apparently attended Arsenal’s recent Champions League match against CSKA Moscow. CSKA, of course, is the Russian army’s football club.

This is potentially serious business, but I think that the ‘Well, we were poisoned by polonium-210′ excuse has been glaringly neglected in football. It’s got to be better than the schedule, the refs, the weather, MI6, and/or the Nabisco Corporation excuses usually bandied about. Can’t be any worse than Spurs’ tummy troubles from last season, right?
