at the beginning of the week i went to see arsenal play at blackburn. when i'd decided to get tickets we were still in the title race, however since then we lost to spurs which rendered this match, and essentially the rest of the season, pointless. still, it was a good excuse to see a mate who supports them, and hopefully see a good performance for our last away game of the season. i didn't get the latter as we were beaten, with out much of a fight, 2-1. i was sat with all of the home fans, which meant that i had to keep my joy confined when we scored, and also my anguish disguised when they got their two. the second of these came from this dude, christopher samba, who's a beast of a player, by which i mean he's fucking huge. i was obviously annoyed that they had scored what would become the winner, and then celebrated right in front of me, but since i had my camera in my hand i figured at least i might get a good photo. when i got home i discovered i didn't even manage that. worse still, i think my camera is fucked. i noticed it a little when snapping away, but i couldn't focus on anything, either automatically or manually. it all came out really blurry. i think this only comes into play when i'm above a certain focal length, so that essentially means the zoom is disabled. dammit, that's what i get for boasting about it being my most popular camera for blogging.

regardless of the lack of clarity, i thought the rest of the shot was too good to not put up so i did my best to make it passable in photoshop. hopefully an improvement on the original
