*boilk to the max*
It’s going to be another quiet weekend for Arsenal as our game against West Brom isn’t until Monday night. That kind of fixture scheduling is all right once in a while for a big game like Sp*rs but two weeks in a row is pretty crap. Anyway, let’s round up the news with as little noise as possibe.
Gilberto wants to stay at the club and sign a new deal. He says “We haven’t started talking yet but I want to stay at this club. I like it here very much. I also like my life in England. If you are happy, then you don’t want to move.”
Arsene Wenger says Thierry Henry is more likely to miss the final than play it. He says “At the moment I would say there is more chance he will not appear in the Final than appear.” Whether that’s some kind of a bluff or not we just can’t tell but you’d have to think his injury must be pretty bad for him not to get picked. The Sun says Henry is winning the fitness battle.
Sam Allardyce, the Jabba the Hut of football managers, taunts Jose Mourinho by saying Arsene Wenger should be called the ‘special one’ because of his record in English football. I have to say I find it fairly distasteful, although not in the least bit surprising, that Allardyce would use a man he’s spent his time slagging off previously to try and wind up his next opponent. I’m sure Mourinho couldn’t give a fish’s tit either way. Alan Smith talks about Arsenal’s consitency under Arsene Wenger and young Icelandic midfield, Olafur Skibalogoglog Skulason is being released by the club when his contract runs out. Young Dutch striker Quincy has been cleared of any wrong doing after being arrested the other night. Arseweb has more.
And that’s about all there is to tell you. In more important football news my cracked ribs have finally healed and I go straight back onto the bench for my team’s game this weekend. I just need to sweat some of the beer out of me so I’m going to go sit in the park because the weather here is fab. Till tomorrow.
