“Believe me this boy Reyes has both the monkey and the organ, and when he grinds it the music he makes is passionate, enchanting, provocative, rich with the heady erotic scent of myrtle and roses. As our great poet Federico García Lorca remarked: “To see you in the nude is to be reminded of soil.” So it is with Reyes.”
Riiiiight. Read more madness here. And it is quite mad. No wonder nobody can understand a word those Andalucíans say. Also read a very good piece with Dennis Bergkamp who talks about Arsenal, Inter and his hopes for the future. Patrick Vieira says he’s a Gunner for life and that in order for Arsenal to be considered one of Europe’s great teams we have to win the Champions League. Some bloke in the Telegraph writes a piece about Arsenal, and because this site is about Arsenal, I’m telling you all about it.
Arsene Wenger says he’s not going to sign a contract. Well, he’s not going to sign it this season anyway. No bother really, but of course the red tops will jump on it with “WENGER: I WON’T SIGN” headlines. Unless something extraordinary happens, this man is going to be in charge for a good few years yet. Ashburton Grove is as much his project as anyone else’s, and for him not be around to manage us in the new stadium is inconceivable. He also talks about Jose Reyes and how he’ll probably be fit enough to play some part today. He’s also dismissed talk of records, saying they’re not important. The only thing that does matter is winning the league and other trophies. People will go on about our unbeaten record, but our opponents today have a record of their own to be broken. Unbeaten at Molineux since the opening day of the season, and they’ve done United and taken 2 points of Liverpool – although the latter might be likened to the whole candy/baby situation.
Right, I’m off to the market to buy Sea Bass. Wolves kicks off at 3pm. More later.
