10.34 – Sorry for the lateness of today’s posting, but I had to go to the vets so my one eyed cat could have his balls chopped off. And while all you boys out there wince at the thoughts of the word ‘castration’, let’s get on with today’s news.
Sol Campbell will have a late fitness test ahead of tomorrow night’s FA Cup replay with Chelsea. With Chelsea on song at the weekend with a 5-0 hammering of Man City, we need the big bloke at the back. Yesterday he was just superb, without him we would really struggle. I hope AW plays him then pulls him out of the upcoming England internationals the way Dementor pulls his Man Utd players out of the international squads.
Patrick Vieira on yesterday’s win: “I think we showed we are good enough to win the Premier League and the FA Cup again.” Lauren says he loves it at Arsenal. Despite the constant rumours about him and his missus wanting to move back to Spain, our right back says he’d sign a 10 year contract tomoorrow if it was offered to him and that Arsenal are ‘the biggest club in the world’.
The BBC has an interesting feature called ‘Blast from the past‘, where they speculate which player from a club’s past you’d most want to see in the team now. They suggest a young David Seaman might be an option, but in the end they go for Tony Adams, reasoning that Arsenal without Keown and/or Campbell have to rely on the ‘trundling liability‘ that is Pascal Cygan. No arguments from me. Much as I’d love to see somebody like Liam Brady play in this team, or pair Wrighty with Henry, we could really do with Tony Adams at the back. If not Tony, then David O’Leary (the player) would have fitted in very nicely alongside Sol in my opinion.
Any other old faves you reckon we could do with?
