08.59 – Last night’s 0-0 draw with PSV and Auxerre’s 1-0 win over Dortmund means that Arsenal top their Champions Leauge group. Unlike Liverpool. heh. Nice to see the Liverpool fans back to their best in Europe as well. Scallies.
PSV were a bunch of fouling, diving swine, and on the evidence it’s a good job AW didn’t pay £15m for van Bommell, who found himself emroiled in a post-game row for spitting at Thierry Henry. Kolo Toure became a true gooner, earning his first red card for 2 bookable offences in the first half.
Jeffers failed to shine, Rami Shaaban seemed to do well in goal despite some nervous distribution early on and made one important 2nd half save, and Igors was, well…Igors. Listening to the game on Capital Gold last night, the commentator and his sidekick Tony Gale were laughing every time he got the ball.
Maybe a tad unfair, but it’s mystifying why a manager as clever and successful as Arsene Wenger insists on playing him when he’s clearly not good enough, and when Matthew Upson is out on loan to Reading and could surely do a better job.
Ask any Arsenal fan to choose between Matty and Igors and I guarantee you 100% of them will go for Upson. Robert Pires played a full 90 minutes, and must surely be in line for a start against Spurs on Saturday. Did I mention Liverpool being knocked out by the tactical power of Christian Gross and European football might that is FC Basel? I did? Oh well, hahahaha. The draw for the second stage is made on Friday. I want Barcelona.
Finally for today, ahead of Saturday’s derby, an open letter to Teddy Sheringham.
