Well, no sooner have we sorted ourselves out and got back into our stride than up comes that most irritating of complaints, international week.
So instead of good old Arsenal news we’ll have the week dedicated to stories of whether or not little Mickey should play for England, Beckham and co lauding Sven the spoofer and Robbie Savage crying his shaggy little eyes out about how unfair it is he’s suspended from the England v Wales game when in reality most of the world wouldn’t think it unfair if he were suspended from the Severn Bridge by his testicles.
Arsene Wenger has spoken about his players going away on international duty and in his opinion the Champions League produces higher quality football than international games. The boss says “In recent years, the competition has become weaker in international football and stronger in the club game.”
I couldn’t agree more and I do believe any hypothetical match-up between a top club side and a top international side would see the club side come out on top more often than not. Back in the league Chelsea continued their series of 1-0 wins when Joe Cole’s goal was enough to defeat an insipid Liverpool, while the second coming of Rooney in a United shirt could hardly have been more different from the first and they needed a late Alan Smith goal to save a point against Boro.
Not a lot else going on, hopefully this week I’ll have some competitions for t-shirts and games to help pass the time while we wait for the proper football to begin again. How was your weekend then?

The Emirates Stadium – it looks like they’re the corporate sponsors of Arsenal’s new stadium. The domain ‘emiratesstadium.com‘ has been registered and the DNS look up on the domain name gives the following information.
The Emirates in question are the same Emirates that have been sponsoring Chelsea for years. Their deal with Abramovich’s bitches runs out at the end of this year and now we’re going to have a stadium with their name all over it.
Later on I’ll exclusively reveal how the only beer on sale will be Holsten, all electrical appliances will be provided by Sharp and the computers used will be from Hewlett Packard.
And you thought we were going to get a cool sponsor, eh?
