08.55 – Oleg got Man of the Match from The Sun too. Oleg is good for you …
Despite the injustice of it all, Patrick Vieira seemed to be fresher and sharper after his two game suspension. We all know he’s not the same kind of captain as Tony Adams. TA was motivational, able to pump the guys up on the field with his talking and pointing and cajoling. Paddy leads by example with his football, and if he keeps that kind of form up, he’ll raise the game of those around him.
Next up is PSV on Tueday. There are injury doubts over David Seaman, Sol Campbell and Dennis Bergkamp, and given the fact we’re already through, I’d wouldn’t expect them to be risked ahead of Saturday’s derby against the foul and fetid Sp*rs. Maybe we’ll see Jeffers play with Henry, which would be nice. And maybe we’ll see Shabba Ranks in goal, which would be nice, and maybe we’ll see Igors Stepanovs in defence, which …well, you know.
AISA (Arsenal Independent Supporters Association) is surveying Arsenal fans for their views and suggestions for the new stadium. You can download the PDF or Word files from Arsenal- World. I’d like to suggest an Arseblog stand, where swearing is compulsory, the beer is free and the view is fuckin’ excellent. Not sure they’ll go for it though.
