Exclusive : What We Do on the Interlull
24th March 2013 By Mister Spruce
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you've heard it, said it, felt it and maybe like the rest of us, you've hated it. But it's here and there's nothing we can do about it, we might as well count sheep and let the interlull go by.
While we wait for the football to start off once again, here's me telling you the 5 types of Arsenal fans and what they do during their 'interlulling' days...
What they do: Concoct the 'concotables'.
What they do: Conjure up the 'conjurables'.
What they do: Write blog posts moaning about the interlull and lack of football.
Yours in football,
Mister Spruce

Wohritdo? (my version of What's up). Arsenal Supremo says I need to introduce myself. This was an afterthought mind you, so forgive me.
I fell in love with Henry at first sight, never mind his big head *sigh*, and then he became hotter with every goal he scored for the Arsenal. And then there's the undying passion for and belief he has in the Arsenal. *double sigh* Okay, that's enough, a girl is allowed to dream. The days of the Invincibles and the French Connection with Pires, Wiltord, Viera and Henry... okay plus Bergkamp even though he ain't French, saw me brand my heart with the Arsenal crest. No matter how much I get angry at the club or the manager, I can't get rid of the brand, it's permanent.
I lived at the Ashburton Triangle Flats for 3 months, just to get the feel, a one bedroom bled me £800 p/m in rent but I needed to live the experience. That was where my re-vamped blog- Mister Spruce - was born and that is where I hold some of my fondest memories of the time I lived in England.
I write match reviews, satire, light comedy all on Arsenal. I also write style on a budget for menswear. I'm a girl.

While we wait for the football to start off once again, here's me telling you the 5 types of Arsenal fans and what they do during their 'interlulling' days...
1. The Rumour Mongers
What they do: Concoct the 'concotables'.
Breaking News: Arsene Wenger to Splash £200m on Neymar, Gotze, Alves, Jovetic and Pique!
"Nay!" Neymar says to Arsene, " I Can't Come to the Emirates While You've Got Gotze and 'Alve' Alvez and Jovial Jovetic!
And so, we find our forums, blogs and newspapers splattered with rumours you wished were true and secretly dreamt of the night Bayern trounced the Arsenal 3-1. Who can blame you? Not me, because, if wishes were Ferraris, I'll hop in for a ride.
2. The Tacticians
What they do: Conjure up the 'conjurables'.
Now the tacticians won't necessarily spread or believe the rumours but they act on the 'What if's' and work with that.
I love those guys. Analysis of the 'What if's'.
What if Arsene actually bought Neymar and paired him upfront with Jovetic while having a strong bench featuring OG (Oliver Giroud) and Poldi (Podolski)? What if Santi Carzola can work his magic in the midfield with Gotze and Wilshere with Arteta playing Anchor-man? What if Dani Alvez can replace Sagna just because he can? Pique in our central defence would be heavenly!
So they conjure up the formation below and so forth...
3. The Bloggers
What they do: Write blog posts moaning about the interlull and lack of football.
Well, I am guilty, and so is arseblog and every other blogger who decides to blog at this time. We can't help it, our brains say "Don't do it!" but the fingers type " Oh miserable, despicable interlull". To err is human.
4. Twitter'ers
What they do: They get on twitter and moan some more about the interlull and lack of football. PS: Some of them are bloggers too. *grin*
Ugh.... interlull

The Interlull is also a pain in the backside. And we have to put up with it at least twice a year. I hope it doesn't halt Arsenal's momentum

This interlull is so boring already. #IWantMyArsenalBack

5. The Serial Soap Opera Huggers
What they do: They binge on fish&chips and 6 cans of Carlsberg and Stella while watching Days of Our Lives wishing it was Arsenal v Swansea.
Pathetic.
