There’s been so much silly, depressing news recently it’ll be nice to start with a positive quotation from José Reyes’ agent although we’re not sure we’re believe it too much. Yesterday the Spanish press reported that Reyes’ agent met with David Dein to find out how much Arsenal would accept for him should an offer come in but talking to BBC sport Jesus Rodriguez de Moya said “These reports coming out of Spain are simply not true. Jose Antonio is happy at Arsenal and he has a contract with the club for a very long time to come. This speculation is going to have to stop.”
He might just need to tell José to stop telling Marca he’d like to play for Madrid then. Earlier reports suggested de Moya had met with Dein so negotiations with Real Madrid could begin in earnest. Robert Pires wants to finish his career at Arsenal and sign a new deal. He says “If I can stay with Arsenal to the end, I will do so.”
Transfer speculation sees us linked with Inter Milan’s Turkish Turk Emre and some Italian bloke who plays for Genoa called Valon Behrami.
Finally I would just like to mention the 2005 bloggies – The blog awards – who consistently ignore sports blogs because they’re big retard nerds who never got picked for football. At least this year they had a ‘best topical weblog’ section into which sports blogs could go, I suppose, but when you consider the nominations closed in mid-January and one of them was the fucking Tsunami Blog then I don’t need to say much more. Sports blogging is shamefully overlooked by the mainstream bloggers because they’re too busy figuring out ways of posting to their blogs using their iPods to connect to their fucking mobile phones to connect to their Blackberries then posting a picture of themselves posting using their iPods to connect to their mobile phones to connect to their fucking Blackberries on Flickr. Message to the Bloggie owners: add a sports blog category or fuck off and die, you cunts.
And that’s that.
