Welcome to another brand new month on Arseblog.
This morning starts with news from Norway that two Arsenal players are supposed to have had a bust-up on the team coach. Eyewitness say that the players involved were Lauren and Vieira, so Paddy must have been feeling very brave because of all the players in the Arsenal team the last one I’d fuck around with would be Lauren. He looks like he wouldn’t even think twice about killing you with his bare hands. In the article above it says the players requested to be seated in different areas of the team coach, which sounds a bit odd. Did they sit there glaring at each other until somebody came and moved them? I know Arsenal players are well looked after but that’s just taking the piss.
A Norwegian policeman said “I can confirm there was contact between the two players. But by the time we boarded the bus they had been separated and it was over.”
Naturally Arsenal are playing down the incident and are said to be ‘mystified’ over reports of a bust-up but it seems something definitely went on and reports suggest Arsene Wenger is considering disciplinary action against the pair. If I hear any more about it I’ll let you know.
Back in the real world the Arsenal reserves were in action last night and despite having a man sent off they ran out 2-1 winners. You can get a full match report over on Arsenal Land.
Away from Arsenal ex-Gunner Martin Keown has apparently been sacked by Leicester City after a series of rows with boss Mickey Adams. It seems Martin accused Adams of not being as good as Arsene Wenger and was therefore given the boot for stating the obvious.
Not much else happening. Played football last night so I’m aching a bit today. Sadly my two goals couldn’t prevent us getting beaten 10-7 and I have a big bruise on my shin from some last ditch defending. I’m glad I bought shin pads yesterday before I went to play.
