08.55 – Yesterday’s win was Arsenal’s 30th Premiership game without defeat, eclipsing Man Utd’s record of 29. I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to keep up with all the records we’ve set over the last few months. Luckily, there’s a full list of our Roy Castle-tastic achievements over on Arseweb.
The tabloids – who have a bit of history when it comes to bald, French central defenders – have decided that Pascal Cygan is another AW’s gems, and not another moaning bitch like Frank le Boeuf. The Sun says “Cygan’s only weakness is that, from a distance, he bears a passing resemblance to former Chelsea centre-half Frank Leboeuf.” Regular readers will know that this similarity was profoundly disturbing to me when he first joined, but I’m happy to see that the resemblance is merely physical and not related to footballing ability or attitude…so far.
Speaking of French central defenders, it seems The Grimster is travelling the world looking at football clubs. Lately he’s been in America training with the Colorado Rapids (where 41 year old and still wooly of head Colombian Carlos Valderrama plays), but he’s sure taking his time making up his mind. Allez Gilles.
Finally today, I’ve updated the fabulously foul-mouthed weird searches with some new stuff I’ve collected from my referrals log over the last week or so. ‘Ian Botham bizarre arse’ is my new favourite.
