august 1st 2004
Welcome to a brand new month on Arseblog. August, where everything closes over here, the heat becomes unbearable and the new Premiership season is just a couple of weeks away.
Arsene Wenger starts the new month in a grump with the FA who misdiagnosed Sol Campbell’s injury which means the rock at the centre of our defence is likely to be out for at least 6 weeks. AW says “The injury was much worse than the medical staff thought in the English camp and if he was treated earlier he would have had a better chance of starting the season.”
It looks likely that Philippe Senderos will play alongside Kolo Toure as the rumours increase that Pascal Cygan will be on his way before the start of the season. Maybe now the club will be reluctant to let him go as we’d be short of cover if he did leave.
Not much else going on this early. You can see the lads in action against Ajax if you have Sky Sports. Let’s hope it’s a more interesting game than the one against River.
