Saturday morning. A brief news round-up before I got about my chores and market shopping.
Manchester United have apparently launched an investigation into the tunnel incident and will be sending a dossier to the FA. Tell tales. Arsene Wenger isn’t bothered though, he reckons they can do what they want and that the FA should be more concerned with what happened on the pitch than Demento getting a slice of pizza straight in his poxy red face. I have to agree, although the idea of Ferguson with cheese, tomato sauce and onion stuck to him is still really funny. Ferguson yesterday accused Arsene Wenger of having a ‘mental problem’. Perhaps Ferguson is Wenger’s problem and there’s no doubt he’s fucking mental.
Update: I’ve just looked at The Sun and they think Ruud van Nistelrooy could sue Arsene Wenger for calling him a cheat. Imagine Cheaty McCheat thinking he can sue because someone calls him a cheat. The big cheat.
In seriousness though the FA have to tread carefully here. They’re going to open up a can of worms if they allow clubs to become prosecutors. United have accused Arsenal of lacking class after the loss last Sunday but as the saying goes ‘Show me a good loser and I’ll show a loser.’ It strikes me that United realised their win on Sunday only cut the gap to 8 points so a good way of closing the gap would be for the FA to dock Arsenal points or suspend players based on the evidence they’re going to provide. Now who lacks class?
Team news sees Sol definitely out (and for the CL game on Tuesday) but Jens Lehmann and Ashley Cole have both come through fitness tests and will start. Young Danny Karbasiyoon talks about scoring a goal on his debut and life at Arsenal.
And that’s about it. It’ll be off to the pub for a couple of quiet and relaxed afternoon beers to watch the game. More later.
