Arseblog: Tuesday 19th October 2004

october 19th

Still no word from ANR as to why they stole Arseblog’s AGM report. I’m thinking of getting my lawyers, Sears Searsy Sears and Co onto them.

Well, the Vieira injury turned out to be bad enough and he’s definitely out of tomorrow’s game in Greece. Cesc and Edu are likely to start in midfield. No news as yet as to whether or not Vieira will recover in time for Sunday’s game. There’s no news yet on Freddie Ljungberg but the full travelling party will be announced today and I think we’ll see a couple of youngsters on the bench.

Gordon Strachan reckons Ashley Cole is the best left back in the world, even better than Wayne Bridge or Ben Thatcher. It’s amazing that he missed the FIFA World Player list when that thunder-thighed one trick pony Roberto Carlos made it.

Not much else going on Arsenal wise. Elsewhere it looks like Adrian Mutu is done for after testing positive for taking cocaine. Another Chelsea player, Mark Bosnich, got a 7 month ban for his snorty ways, but I hope to God Mutu’s ban is at least 9 months or we’ll never hear the end of it from United fans bleating about how Rio got 8 months even though he never tested positive for anything. I’d say Rio would be hard pressed to test positive for a brain.

Staying with United Demento has tried to make out his comments about ‘the worst thing in sport’ were tongue in cheek. He said about his relationship with AW, “There is a bit of kidology between the two of us and I thought it was appropriate to remind them of what happened last year.”

I notice there’s been absolutely no reaction from the Arsenal camp over this one. The mind-games used to be quite fun, now they just smack of desperation from the North West. Right, that’s about it. I think I might go to the gym this morning. Or I might not. I’m so indecisive. Or am I?
