08.45 – Ow, stupid beer. *blegurrgle*. Sorry, that’s my stomach.
To your left Edu looks triumphant as Steve Marlet does his…er….Edu impression, Thierry looks on slightly bewildered, and the old Fulham fan in the background wishes his ears weren’t so big and pointy. Seriously, look at his ear.
Arsene Wenger said he was relieved that the lads got the win at last. You’re not the only one boss. Luis Boa Morte caused our defence all sorts of problems yesterday and could have had a couple of pennos, and Monchichi Inamoto showed us all what we missed when we let him leave Arsenal. That being precisely, fuck all.
LBM was always a bit light on his feet though.
Some worrying reports about Pascal Cygan though. Again, the big Frenchman showed he’s as quick on the turn as an 18 wheel lorry going round the hairpin at Monte Carlo. Matthew Upson has apparently been performing well for Reading during his loan spell, I reckon it’s time to bring him home and give the bald lad a bit of competition for his place. Lauren picked up a knock, which might be a blessing in disguise given the way he’s playing at the moment. Expect Oleg to step in with his blinding pace and slight frame.
It’s a week for those lovely folk of the North East to visit London. Sunderland come down for the Worthless Cup on Weds, while the Toon army will pillage their way to Highbury for Saturday as Arsenal look for revenge for last season’s dramatic defeat. Finally, if you missed it yesterday, there’s a great article about Robert Pires here.
