Midweek. Internationals looming. The football world couldn’t be any more boring if we were forced to watch Bolton v Liverpool over and over and over again. The most interesting thing is Wayne Rooney allegedly beating the crap out of some bloke in a nightclub and even that’s not particularly gripping. Unless Rooney ends up in jail at which point it becomes fascinating and hilarious.
In Arsenal news Arsene Wenger has backed José Antonio Reyes to come good and has promised to stick by the Spaniard. The boss says “I feel I have to persist with him. This guy has so much talent and is still so young. With that big a transfer fee people expect you to give them your best straight away. They forget he is only 21 years old.”
There’s no doubt his performances and his goalscoring record can seriously improve. Perhaps a good run in the team as a striker will help. In inane transfer speculation we’re linked again with Greek defender Trianos Dellas who looks set to leave Roma in the summer. I really have nothing to say to that except ‘no thanks’ and that’s about the extent of Arsenal news this morning.
For those of you wondering what’s happened to my esteemed blogging colleague from the East Lower he’s having a nightmare time with his hosting company, Easyspace. They’ve fucked up his account, left him without access to his files, refused to answer any emails and are about as much help as glasses for blind man. Rest assured he’ll be back soon, probably with a new domain because he can’t access the existing one due to Easyspace being useless cock-knockers, and I’ll let you give you the details when he is.
Finally, last chance for the Football Manager 2005 competition. Full details on Monday’s blog. Winners announce tomorrow.
