The reason I stopped going to Soccernet was because every single time I went to the site I had to choose my region. There were 5 options, and choosing a different one each time to teach them a lesson for inconveniencing me was quite a lark in the beginning, but as you can image soon become enormously tiresome. So I stopped going to the site. And today I thought ‘It’s been months since I’ve been to Soccernet. I might go have a look.’
So I did. And I got the same splash screen asking me to choose my region. So I’m not going to go there again for at least another three months. Take that you Soccernet bastards.
Gilberto is batting his eyelids at Atletico Madrid after it emerged they were keen to sign him. Our doe eyed midfielder said “The first thing Atletico have to do is speak to Arsenal, who own my rights for another two seasons. They have to ask the club and if the club says yes, they can then speak to the player.”
So he’s coping well with the fact that Edu has taken his central midfield position, eh? In other brief news, Jermaine Pennant will remain at Leeds for at least another month but it seems likely that he’ll see out the season at Elland Road and will be able to join in the celebrations when they go down to the Nationwide. Another player out on loan is Sebastian Svard, who is doing well for himself at Stoke, and he hopes to have a future at Arsenal when the season ends. Patrick Vieira is not taking Ryan Giggs’ bait after the Welsh loon’s comments that Man United were still the best team in the country, despite being 12 points behind us. The skipper says “We will wait before saying ‘we are the best squad’ or anything like that. Football is about winning trophies and at the moment we have not won anything.”
And that’s about it. There’s some stuff from Walrusdyce about how he’s going to bore a result out of us tomorrow, but I’m not paying any heed to anything that comes out of his big, giant head. Justice was served yesterday as Rio’s ban was upheld, despite him running around desperately shoving great chunks of his hair at anyone who looked vaguely important. Luckily for him he managed to avoid a ‘stop being such a cunt’ extension to his existing ban. Now he can sit around and eat Mr Kipling all day long while getting £60,000 a week, can’t see what he’s complaining about.
So what are you up to this weekend, then?
