11.19 – Oh man, the summer has arrived here. It’s roasting today. Sweet.
Lots of people have been fullsome in their praise of Pascal Cygan’s performance against Boro on Saturday. Now, you all know I’ve been most dubious about his ability to withstand the rigours of Premiership football, and I’m not going to start praising him now just because he had a game without some sort of disastrous error. We’ll see how he goes in the last few games of the season before there are any olive branches issued from here. Still, AW reckons ‘he’s the one‘.
Having seen the highlights of the Boro game, there is no difference between the incident involving Freddie Ljungberg and Nemeth, and the Campbell – Solskjaer one. Make of that what you will.
Arsenal are convinced Solskjaer has been ‘gagged‘ by United and is not allowed say the incident was accidental. Which is fairly normal I would have thought. Would Arsenal speak up on behalf of Ruud van Nistelcunt if the situation was reversed? I would be pretty pissed off if they did….or I’d wait until the end of the season to do it. Just to be really annoying.
Ray Parlour says ‘It’s all in our hands‘ as he discusses his performance and Arsenal’s win against Boro. According to some sources, Razor was seriously pissed off at not even making the bench for the Man Utd game, but he put those differences behind him as he captained the side on Saturday. He may not be the quickest, the best passer, or the most creative, but he brings something to the team that all the Samba skills and Ooo La La don’t – lots and lots of running around and tackling at top speed. He hasn’t scored since the cup final last year either, so he’s due a goal or two surely.
Right, here’s hoping the results at the bottom of the table go our way today. I think I might sit outside in the sun for a bit.
