Hurrah, the stupid internationals are over and we can get back to real football at last. Of course it’ll be tomorrow before we have any real news ahead of our game against Norwich (Let’s be aaaaaaavin’ ya!) but at least we’re on the right track. Once the players get back and have their fitness assessed then we get some team news. Thierry Henry didn’t play for France last night but was on the bench so there’s the possibility he might be involved in some way but like I said we’ll have to wait and see.
In a brief round-up of what is around Bob Wilson has told Stuart Taylor he should leave Arsenal for the good of his career. It just strikes me that if Taylor was as good as Wilson says he is he would have made more of an impact at this stage instead of being stuck behind Manuel for the number 2 (heh) position.
The boss has spoken about David Bentley, currently on loan at Norwich and recovering from a knee injury, and he thinks he can make it at Arsenal, saying “My hopes for him are very high. He has the technical level to play for Arsenal Football Club, the mental approach, the personality and is very keen to work hard. For him it is down to how he has improved physically. He has all the rest.”
Goodplaya reminds us that is was four years ago today when David Rocastle died – why not check out this book which recalls that fantastic night at Anfield in 1989 and helps raise funds for sufferers of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, the disease which took him so young?
Regular readers will no doubt be on full alert for tomorrow’s blog waiting for the traditional April Fool’s joke. Well, as this will be the fourth April Fool’s day it’s becoming harder and harder to think of anything which might actually fool people so I think it’s only fair to tell you that there won’t be an April Fool’s joke tomorrow unless I think of something incredibly original and easy to perform between now and then. Which I won’t. So I repeat – no April Fool’s joke tomorrow.
Till tomorrow then.
