09.12 – I didn’t get to hear all of the game yesterday because I had to puke, shite and then go back to bed, but it seems a 2-0 victory brought out the best in David O’Leary.
Conveniently forgetting that his Leeds team had done the exact same thing to Arsenal a couple of seasons ago, he complained that ref Mark Halsey cost them the match by allowing Thierry Henry to take a quick free kick. Nothing to do with O’Leary’s side being mid-table shite who didn’t manage to score more goals than us then?
Henry made it 2-0 with a penalty after Kanu had been felled in the box by Olaf Mellberg. With United losing 1-0 to Wolves at the weekend, and Chelsea drawing 0-0 at home to Birmingham, it’s been a good weekend for the Gunners and we sit two points clear at the top of the table.
AW wants Kanu to stay for the Carling Cup game tomorrow night, as the only fit striker we have apart from him is Thierry, who needs a rest and to let the mouth injury he picked up against Villa settle. “I will try and have a good chat with Kanu and convince him to stay for the game. It is his decision now because, by the rules, we have to release him.”
Sylvain Wiltord as admitted he’s thinking about moving somewhere else when his Arsenal contract expires. The pointy headed stringer/winker says “I am saying that maybe there is life after Arsenal. Under the new rules I am already free to sign a pre-contract with another club for next season. There have been calls but I prefer to finish my contract and then make my choice. Everyone knows I would like to play for PSG at some stage in my career.”
No comment on any of the above. Right, I have to go decide whether I’m well enough to go to work later.
