22.25 – That man Inamoto did it again. He scored the only goal of the game as Japan beat Russia 1-0 in front of a watching Arsene Wenger. Some people have chosen to interpret Wenger’s comment that “..he was very good today” to mean Inamoto might well have a part to play at Highbury next season.
He’s certainly putting on a much better performance than he did on a cold night in Blackburn in the Worthington Cup on one of the rare occassions he got a run out for Arsenal. Fair play to him, but I would like to see him against more worthy opposition before I start raving about like some other folks……
The defeat for the Russians did not go down well at home.
13.25 – The Italians have been very critical of the officials who took charge of their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Croatia. So it’s a hearty congratulations to Graham Poll for showing the entire world how incompetent you are. Wouldn’t it be funny if he woke up with a horse’s head in his bed? Apologies to any Italians reading for the blatant stereotype, but it would be really funny….
Junichi Inamoto’s stock has risen dramtically with his performances in this World Cup – as well as being linked with Atalanta in Italy, it’s being reported that PSV have made a “…multi-million pound offer” for our Japanese midfielder. How does Van Bommell to Arsenal for £10m + Inamoto sound? I could live with that….
