march 4th
That midweek lull kind of thing is going on at the moment. There are no Premiership matches this weekend, and the build-up to Arsenal’s FA Cup game against Portsmouth probably won’t start until tomorrow at some stage. There’s no early team news, but given the fact we’ve got Europe on the agenda, as well as tough matches against the bollocky bastards that are Bolton and Blackburn, it’s safe to assume we’ll see a few changes made.
I would imagine Henry will be rested, Jose Reyes will start, and considering he’s got an ongoing groin problem, Sol Campbell will probably have his feet up (or be on the bench). Coming in will be Pascal Cygan for whom Arsene Wenger has some nice words here. Maybe we’ll see Graham Stack in goal, and he’s done well enough this season to get a call up to the full Irish squad. It will be interesting to see himself and Stuart Taylor battle it out of the number 2 spot. From what I’ve seen there isn’t much between them.
Arsenal are the 7th richest club in the world according to this report featured on ANR. Considering we didn’t have two shillings to rub together for a long time I’m not paying too much heed to it, but I suppose the new stadium should see us climb this chart once it’s all completed. Top of the rich list are Manchester United who yesterday appointed Walter Smith as number 2 to Demento. A strange appointment to say the least and maybe the first thing he has to do is calm the waters between the manager and best player as rumours of another dressing room bust up gather pace.
That’s about all there is this morning. This morning I have to go teach, then get my woolly hair cut, then go and find out if my scooter is fixed and how much I have to shoplift to pay for it.
