Some gin and tonics = good. A lot of gin and tonics = sometimes good, sometimes bad. Too many gin and tonics = hardly ever good.

Dick Advocaat has told Giovanni van Bronckhorst to find a new club if he wants to play for Holland. “I will only select players who are playing every week at the highest level.” That obviously doesn’t include Gio who now struggles to make the first 16, let alone the first team.
“Next year, they [Arsenal] would be advised to stay clear of the Community Shield, which is beginning to outlive its usefulness, particularly when it brings two fierce rivals into confrontation.” – I don’t know who this bloke is, but he makes a bit of sense in the Independent. Which is odd.
Arsene Wenger says the Premiership is the club’s priority this season. “The priority is the Premiership because that is really quality now. I know that deep in the heart and soul of every player is a big desire to do well in the Champions League. But let’s just try to give our best in every game, in every competition.”
Can’t argue with that. And all you can do is laugh at this.
More later. Come ooooon you goooooooners.
