Well, all the Vieira stuff is behind us once and for all. Until next summer at least.
I’m going to refrain from commenting on it any further. I think you all know my opinion on it, which I know some of you don’t agree with, but then that’s football. It would be very boring if we all had the same view on things. There are plenty of Vieira pieces in the news this morning, so if you haven’t already had enough of it you can sate yourself there.
Don’t kiss the badge – a Vieira piece not by me, but by regular Arser and Forumer Femaiden.
In all this hoo-ha I had been meaning to write some kind of a preview to the season, but I never got around to doing it. Maybe later I’ll have a few beers and thrash something out. That’s unless I have too many beers and I decide I can’t be arsed.
News ahead of tomorrow’s season opener against Everton is that Mathieu Flamini has received international clearance and may play, although the impressive Cesc Fabregas may retain his place after the Community Shield display which had many drooling (in a good way, not in an old man in a home kind of way).
Right, as it’s Saturday I have to go to the market and barter for my weekend grub. Have a good one till it all kicks off again tomorrow.
