08.41 – The only Arsenal story of note is the one where Dennis Bergkamp says we’re not a great team unless we do it in Europe. He reckons we need to attack more and having thought about it’s quite a good idea. All we need to do is score more goals than the opposition in Europe and we’ll start winning matches again. Sometimes you can win a game in the league without scoring more goals than the opposition, but Europe is just that little step up again.
Dennis says “I feel that sometimes in Europe we play with the handbrake on. We don’t know what we can achieve – we need to just go out there and play our game and see where it gets us. We’re in a very difficult situation in the Champions League now but at least we know we have to win every game. There is only one way to do that and it is to play our own game, attacking football.”
It’s a good idea, anyway, and given the situation we find ourselves in, we don’t really have a lot of choice. We need 3 wins to go through to the knock-out stage of the competition. Of course, we haven’t won a European game since Jebus was a lad…
Tony Adams looks set for a return to football as the manager of Wycombe Wanders. He’ll follow in the legendary footsteps of Martin O’Neill, Lawrie Sanchez and John Gregory if he takes over there. His agent, Steve Kutner, says “Tony has been impressed by the people at Wycombe. We have been approached by a few clubs who have been interested in making Tony manager – but the decision on where he starts his coaching career is one he is taking very seriously.”
Arsenal reserves were beaten 2-0 by Watford reserves last night. Not even the return of Rami Shaaban could save the stiffs. He’s from Swegypt, you know.
After yesterday’s 80s lyrics quiz, linking to a site with free games, or games that you get paid to to play would be just wrong. So I’m not going to.
