Arseblog: Thursday 10th October 2002

october 10th

12.01 – International week drags on, and the biggest Arsenal related sory is that Sol Campbell has the green apple splatters and won’t play for England on Saturday. He should be ok for the game next Wednesday though. Er…hurrah, or something.

There’s a multi-gooner article in The Sun which features Kanu pledging to stay at Arsenal and keep scoring goals, Dennis Bergkamp talks about Kolo Toure, and also reveals that since his hip operation Freddie Ljungberg is now the fastest sprinter at Arsenal ….over 5 yards. We had the technology, we could rebuild him.

West Ham’s Joe Cole talks about Francis Jeffers here, and he reckons that once our fox in the box starts playing regularly for Arsenal he’ll score goals a plenty. Frannie seems to have been written off by some Arsenal fans as a bad investment by Arsene Wenger, but to be fair, with his injuries he’s never had a real chance. The jury is still very much out, but at Arseblog we remain cautiously optimistic that he can repay the faith shown in him by the boss.

Arsenal’s vice-Chairman and secret weapon, David ‘Double D’ Dein, calls for clubs whose fans chant racist abuse at players to have their games played behind closed doors. That’s exactly what I said here on Sept 29th, so it’s nice to know we have regular readers in the Arsenal boardroom…..*cough*…..

Finally for today, despite being retired for many years, Pele is set for a scouting role with West London giants, Fulham. Apparently he’s going to find players ‘wiz erection problems’, then blackmail them into joining Jean Tigana’s men.

“Join Fulham you floppy fool….I know I would.”
