13.26 – Apologies for the late arrival of today’s
installment. Blame Canada.
Sir
Robert of Pires has said he expects to sign a new Arsenal
contract within the next two weeks. Hurrah. Le Bob says “There
are two weeks before we go away to the Confederations Cup. I expect
everything to be okay, and I hope to sign a new contract. Arsenal
are one of the biggest clubs in Europe, and that’s why I want
to stay here.”
Freddie
Ljungberg has also pledged his future to the club, despite
whispers he might be offloaded to raise some funds for summer
spending. However, all is not well in Wiltordville, and it’s been
reported that our pointy-headed French enigma has rejected
Arsenal’s offer of a new contract and is looking for an extra
£20,000
per week to stay. Not sure how accurate those figures are, but
asking for that much money is tantamount to asking for a transfer.
When you consider that Arsene
Wenger nearly had to pay for the post-cup final party himself,
the chances of Wiltord getting that much extra are slim to say
the least. Arsenal have so far refused to comment.
The latest central defender to be linked with us
is Aston Villa’s Olaf
Mellberg. You know, Freddie’s
mate (realplayer needed). Oliver
Kahn? Oliver Caaaaaaaahnt more like. Weirdy faced bastard.
Despite people saying our disciplinary record is
the worst in history, Arsenal finished up 6th
in the Fair Play league. Not bad in fairness, not that I give
a fiddler’s sac about the Fair Play league. Man Utd came top (there’s
a surprise) while Robbie Savage and his cuntery helped Birmingham
Shitty to last place.
Thierry Henry still hasn’t been in touch about claiming
his prize for winning the Arseblog player of the year award. I
expect to hear from him any day now though, although for a moment
this had me wondering….
Close but no potato ‘theirry’.
Now, I have to go continue fixing my computer, I’m
not sure how long the sellotape holding the hard drive together
is going to last….
