08.47 – Arsene Wenger has dropped another hint that Jeremie Aliadiere is going to see more first team action after his display against Rotherham. He’s one of the names, along with Pennant, that Arsenal fans have been bandying about for the last couple of seasons as a youngster that can make the grade. “He can put pressure on everybody in the first team now. It’s the first year that we’ve had him without injury. Jeremie is just maturing now physically. He is much stronger physically now and is not knocked off the ball. He is very quick, very mobile and has a lightning start over the first 10 yards.”
Fingers crossed he can do the business in the first team. New boy Cesc – who has to wear his surname Fabregas on his shirt – has revealed he was mightily impressed with the Arsenal fans during his full debut. “It was incredible. They never stop encouraging you even when you’re losing. I loved it.”
Patrick Vieira is desperate for a quick recovery, but is promising to be a good patient having admitted his comeback in Kiev was a little rushed. Some people are unhappy about the fact that Jermaine Pennant can play against Arsenal this weekend. Arsene Wenger has said it’s ‘immoral’ to stop a player playing for the club he’s on loan with, no matter who they’re playing. Personally, I’m not that bothered. If he’s out on loan to get experience of playing top flight football, what better way for him to hone his skills than playing against us? Maybe he’ll be out impress. We just have to figure out who he’ll be trying to impress though. He says it’s going to be weird playing against his ‘pal’ Ashley Cole.
Apparently the Russian’s aren’t after us, we’re after them, with Double-D doing all the flirting. Arsenal will find out today what’s going to happen to the players charged after the Old Trafford Disaster ™ – all rights reserved. Some bans, some fines, some slaps on the wrist.
Right, I have to go lambast somebody. Later.
