february 29th
A very quick round-up this morning as I’m off to play tennis and I’m sweating beer. I know I’ve given out about Spain a bit this week, but by the same token I can go to the supermarket and buy 24 beers for under €5. I suppose in future I just have to pass the time waiting for repair men by drinking beer. Lots and lots of beer.
Arsene Wenger has said the title race is far from over. “We’re in a good position but it’s far from being over yet. Seven games ago, we were three points behind Manchester United and there are still 11 to go.”
He’s also warned his charges against complacency. Now, I don’t expect us to outplay everyone, every game, but maybe yesterday was a bit of a wake-up call for us. Can’t complain though, these were the sort of games that cost us points last season, so while we might have had a bit of luck near the end, hats off to the boys from the improvement.
Gael Clichy talks about his meteoric rise in the Independent. “It’s a great pleasure playing for a team like this. Even before I actually joined Arsenal, I was a fan of the club. Now I am one of the players, but still a supporter.”
Right, it’s a-courting I go. Enjoy the 29th, you won’t see a day like this one again for 4 years. Check out the mind-boggling, stats and info frenzy that is Diamond Geezer for more. Read today’s entry and scroll down for more.
