I would like to start today by asking you look at this and please bear in mind that I have done nothing to manipulate what you see before you. Horrifying, isn’t it? This is what comes from arsenal.con being handed over to Sky Sports. First they screw over all us Macintosh people, now this. Sort it, Arsenal. It’s just not on.
Some good news yesterday as Freddie Ljungberg revealed he’s started negotiations with the club over a new contract. Already with his negoatiating hat on he says “Despite the interest from Italy and Spain, I feel really good at Arsenal.”
Sky Sports are reporting that Lauren has agreed a new two year deal with the club.
There have also been some rumours in the goalkeeping department as Stuttgart’s highly rated Timo Hildebrand has rejected their contract offer and is now free to leave in the summer on a free transfer. Stuttgart last week expressed an interest in Jens Lehmann and there are suggestions a deal could be done before the end of the transfer window. I don’t know much about this Hildebrand lad but from the way people are talking he could be next Sebastian Frey…*cough*…
There’s more on the Wenger v Demento story as the police, the sports minister and Ghandi’s ghost say the managers should be quiet. United reveal in today’s Independent (Ferguson’s latest choice of sycophantic soapbox) that they won’t be signing any kind of agreement with Arsenal. Whooop-de-fucking-doo. It’s football. We don’t need a Good Friday agreement or a peace accord brokered by Bill Clinton. They don’t like us, we hate them. What’s the problem?
Thierry Henry (obviously) and Ashley Cole (less obvious) have been included in UEFA’s team of 2004 as voted for by users of their website. It’s nice to see Ashley get the credit his performances last season deserved and I suspect the England – Portugal game when he had the media’s darling, fake Ronaldo, in his pocket the whole game did him no harm either.
Finally for today Leopold returns on the real ANR, and does he know something we don’t? I think it’s quite obvious that he does. Till tomorrow, arsefans.
