07.32 – Sylvain Wiltord says “I will reach the end of my contract in June 2004 and, at the moment, I don’t believe I will sign again.”
Arseblog say “Au revoir. Adios. Auf Wiedersehen. Arrivederci. Adeus. Smell ya later, so long and thanks for all the goals.”
While I appreciate the job he’s done for us, he’ll never go down as a favourite of mine. His head was just a bit too pointy for that. Meanwhile, Robert Pires wants to play more for France, or something. Jerome Thomas hopes his attacking versatility can win him a place in the Arsenal team. “I think it’s important to be versatile. Look at Kolo Toure, Freddie Ljungberg and Robert Pires. They can all play on the left or right side.”
John Halls is hoping to impress Arsene Wenger during his loan period at Stoke. “My aim is to try and impress Tony Pulis and get a regular place in the side and also impress Arsene Wenger because he has said I am still part of things at Highbury.”
That aside, there’s not too much going on this morning. We’ve got the internationals later on, of course. I think I’ll watch England v Turkey. The odds on there being a good scrap on the pitch arer pretty high, and if it’s not an England players versus a Turk, it could well be two England players. A Beckham v Neville punch-up on the right wing would be jolly entertaining.
I, sadly, have to go to work now. You’d think people would have a better way of spending their Saturday mornings than learning English. Jeez.
