So after a fun-packed few weeks of football I’m sorry to have to tell you we’re now beginning the dreaded international week. Our next game isn’t until the 2nd of April and in the meantime we have little to talk about but how Emile Heskey has managed to get bck into the England squad despite doing nothing much to merit it. Actually, we’re not even going to talk about that because it’s boring and what Sven does shouldn’t surprise anybody now.
The only Arsenal related news I can find this early is that Ashley Cole will not be charged with any wrong-doing with regard to the Chelsea tapping-up affair because no specific complaint has been made about his behaviour. The Times reports that Chelsea will be charged by the FA for making an illegal approach to Cole. It’ll be interesting to see how much balls this panel have. A fine means nothing to Chelsea. If they are found guilty then there has be a more realistic punishment meted out. I’m loathe to see anyone docked points but what else can punish Chelsea? Perhaps a transfer ban for a period of time. Anyway, we’ll see.
Now, if you want to make like Jose Mourinho a Premiership manager and tap up players before offering them bigger wages than their current club why not try Football Manager 2005?
My good chums at SI Games have given me three prize packs which include: an updated copy of the game with new transfers etc, a FM 2005 t-shirt and a leather mini-football. There are three to give away, if you fancy one just answer the following question:
From which club did Arsenal sign Robin van Persie last summer? Was it: a) PSV – b)Feyenoord – c)Ajax
Answers in an email to [email protected]. Winners will be announced on Thursbury.
So there you go. To ease the boredom, tedium, ennui, listlessness, monotony, fatigue and dullness of international football and all that surrounds enter this competition and your life could become rich and full again. How was your weekend then?
