The commission who will look at the Ashley Cole – Chelsea tapping up thingy has been put in place and should sit by the end of the month. The three man team includes a gardener, a former mine worker and Miss World 1978. Both Cole and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho could face suspensions if found guilty of advanced bollickery.
Robert Pires says that winning the FA Cup would mean Arsenal’s season was not a flop. Speaking to himself in a dark room he said “We, as players, want to win all the time and, believe me, we all know how important the FA Cup is to our supporters.” And speaking of the FA Cup watch out next week when hopefully I’ll have a competition where you can win a DVD pack of some of our FA Cup final triumphs.
Jermaine Pennant reveals a deal has been done to ensure his move from Arsenal to Birmingham City goes through and speaks about his ambitions about making the England team. He says “I always wanted a chance to try and fulfil my potential at Arsenal but I hit a brick wall.”
Not to be pedantic here, Jermaine, but it wasn’t a brick wall it was a lamp-post and you dragged it along the road for hundreds of yards. I don’t know how many times we’ve heard him talk about how he’s changed and he’s going to work hard and be responsible only for his attitude and lack of basic intelligence to fuck it up for him. Shall we give him a year at Birmingham before something happens?
Chelsea are set to sign Shaun Wright-Phillips in the summer according to the Times. £18m is the price being quoted and I’m sure City could probably squeeze a bit more out of them if they really tried. We’ve been linked with him for a long time but it’s a ridiculous price and it’s only that high because he’s English. And it is funny in the Times article that they talk about Chelsea having agreed a deal ‘in principle’ with Steven Gerrard while the Cole commission has just been announced. Isn’t that the same thing?
Right, coffee + Ibuprofen. Laters.
