10.39 – “Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all?”
Why, that would be Arsenal. Despite being the most evil and downright nasty team to ever play the game, The Gunners find themselves top of the Premier League’s fair play table. With 53 red cards this season alone, and 6 players facing sentences of life in prison for the savage, barbarian flesh eating riot at Old Trafford, it doesn’t fucking say much for the rest of them, does it?
Arsenal have responded to the FA over the various charges which followed the OT Disaster™ – all rights reserved. It’s believed Arsenal’s response was delayed due to a typo which had seen the FA’s Video Advisory Panel referred to as ‘those stupid blind cunts’ all the way through the document. The FA said “The FA will now give full consideration to the information provided by both clubs over the next 24 hours before discussing this further publicly and confirming any hearing dates.”
Arsene knows. Arsenal and Leeds will discuss the future of Jermaine Pennant this week. Having spent some time calculating the odds, my best guess is that there’s a 50-50 chance of him either staying there or coming back to Arsenal. Hasan Sas spat at Ashley Cole after the Turkey v England game at the weekend apparently. Better to do it in person than to wait and spit in his kebab when he’s not looking, I suppose.
Chelsea drew 0-0 with Birmingham to put them top of the table ahead of Saturday’s clash with Arsenal. Rami Shaaban is close to full fitness after his leg break last Christmas. Arsenal reserves drew 2-2 with Coventry. Jerome Thomas did his chances of a first team place no harm at all with 2 goals. Match reports from arsenal.com and Arsenal-Land.
Not much else going on. I’m now nice and refreshed after a good lie-in. Hurrah for sleep.
