11.15 – Gilberto Silva’s move hs been approved, with Judge Vieira deciding that it would be easier for Athletico Mineiro to pay their debts if they actually had some money.
Arsene Wenger has again said he thinks Richard Wright should have stayed at Arsenal to fight for his place. He says he’s given no assurances to Fabian Carini, and the Uruguayan will have to compete with Stuart Taylor for the right to dislodge David Seaman. Personally, I find AW’s comments about Wright a bit odd, especially when you take into account the words of Jerzey Dudek’s agent.
The BBC have a feature on young striker Jeremie Aliadiere, who has the potential to be as good as Henry or Anelka according to his former coaches at Claireaine. He scored 2 in the friendly the other day, and with Wiltord likely to start the season in midfield, Kanu’s form as dodgy as George Michael’s new video and Jeffers always injured, he might well get a chance quite early in the season.
Googlegate continues, with John reporting the same anomolies as our intrepid Hammer reporter.
New laws are being passed in the US to combat software and music piracy in the digital age. Has it never occurred to record companies that the solution is in their hands? Stop charging us €18 for a CD that costs 0.79¢ to produce. Miserable cunts. Anyway, I’m sure the level of music piracy is not that much different from when double cassette decks became the norm. How many blank tapes filled with dodgy, skipping copies of vinyl LPs do you still have lying around your attic somewhere? Exactly…….(for anyone born after 1985 or so, have a look at this).
Finally, another wee game to help pass your busy day.
