I can’t find any Arsenal news online yet. It is quite early on Sunday morning though, so maybe some stuff will appear later in the day.
However, my exclusive-sniffing source (he sniffs out exclusives, he doesn’t sniff in an exclusive fashion) inside the national newspaper industry has pointed me in the direction of a couple of stories which exist in print but haven’t been interneted yet.
1 – Apparently there’s an article saying Arsenal intend to reward Sol Campbell’s rock-like performances by slashing his wages. There are also some ‘arsey unattributed quotes’ involved. The Sunday Mirror last week said Chelsea were interested in Sol because of this upcoming wages problem. Anyway, it sounds like someone stirring shit to me.
2 – Apparently there’s an article in which Freddie Ljungberg complains about ‘the way Arsenal fans like him, and the claustrophobic small-town goldfish bowl of living in London, so he wants away to Madrid where the fans won’t hassle him’. Well, there’s no place like Spain for respecting the privacy of celebrities. Pfffffff.
3 – AW says England have no hope at international level because there’s no winter break. And here’s me thinking it was because the manager is a weak-willed clown and the players aren’t nearly as good as everyone seems to think they are.
Silvinho has joined Barcelona. Good for him. Always liked that funny raised-by-wolves looking fella.
Have a good Sunday.
