Well last night I went to play football and afterwards I was all set to go to see Barcelona play Zaragoza in Camp Nou. Guess which cunt went and left his ticket at home though? Gah.
On to matters Arsenal and after a summer of leading us all on a merry dance, Patrick Vieira is now fully commited to Arsenal Football Club and he wants to lead the side out at Ashburton Grove. Today’s Sun has a PRtastic piece with Paddy, showing him at the new stadium and it’s chock full of quotes and soundbites. Take a look. I know he knows what the supporters went through this season, and he knows that we know he knows, and I suppose it’s all part of the process of putting everything into the past, but I’d like to get to this point in 2005 without having had a summer full of speculation and indecision before I make any further comment.
Arsene Wenger has spoken about Shaun Wright-Phillips saying “He is a guy we have an eye on and we follow his progress. He is a Wright – and the Wrights have a big love affair with Arsenal. Could he be at Arsenal one day? It is not impossible but I don’t know yet.”
The boss has also come to the defence of Jens Lehmann – “The only answer Lehmann can give is what he has achieved with us. He has, for instance, never lost a Premiership game” – and has spoken about Jermaine Pennant and his hard work this season – “He is behaving tremendously well. He is a really reformed character. He has never let me down.”
Those quotes come from this Standard article which also states that Gael Clichy has signed a new four year deal with the club.
And that’s about the size of it. Thanks again to Diamond Geezer for providing the clues for this week’s puzzle bits. If you like those kind of things he always has them over at his blog. And by always I mean sometimes. But still. Cheers, geezer.
