You know the way towards the end of a successful sit-com’s life, they’ll jazz it up a bit with special guest stars and things like that? Well, in no way connected to that is today’s entry from guest arseblogger, Bono.
Only joking. Sort of. It’s been a slow few days Arsenal wise. While all of us are hoping to give Bolton, and their charming manager, a good hiding, there’s not been too much talk about anything other than Ravioli at Barcelona saying he’d love to play with Thierry Henry. Sorry fella, no room in our squad for you at the moment. Oh, you meant…..hahahahaha. Shut it, titch.
Martin Keown has announced that he’ll be having a testimonial on May 17th against an England XI. Some of those expected to turn out are Ian Wright, Tony Adams, Nigel Winterburn, Marc Overmars, Emmanuel Petit and Alan Shearer. It’s most likely a farewell too to Martin as this season will undoubtedly be his last. There are more details about this game on Martin’s own testimonial website. How fancy.
In other news, Cesc is very happy with his progress and life at Arsenal, QPR are giving a trial to young keeper Craig Holloway, and Thierry Henry says people are writing off Man United too soon. Instead of writing Man United off, people should be pushing them off. Cliffs. Tall buildings. Motorway overpasses. Things like that.
Speaking of which, some nice propaganda in The Sun about Rio Ferdinand’s appeal over his 8 month ban. Rio is insisting that he never took drugs, and has offered a hair sample to prove it – which is totally beside the point because he wasn’t banned for taking drugs. He was banned for deliberately missing a drugs test. The clown. There is the very real possibility he could find his ban lengthened if it all goes pear-shaped, and you would find it very hard to have the slightest shred sympathy for him if that was the case.
Right, last teaching day of the week for me. Which is good, let me tell you.
