Looks like Tony Blair got back in. I said vote Arseblog not Arsehole. Never mind.
Thierry Henry is back in training although he’s still a major doubt for the cup final. Freddie’s hip injury means he hasn’t made it back to the training pitch yet. According to the boss “It is difficult to say [when they will be back]. Ideally you would want them to be available before and at least play a game but we have to be cautious. It just depends who is available on the day.”
And speaking about Dennis Bergkamp AW says “I will sit down with Dennis and speak about the future. It will happen very soon. But it belongs to us both. I will not tell you yet. I have too much respect for Dennis for that.”
And while he’s on a roll the boss has been talking about José Reyes and he’s told Real Madrid to forget any chance they have of signing him and that Arsenal will help him overcome his homesickness saying it can take up to a couple of years to settle in properly. “I have said many times that I do not buy a player of his age to sell him one year later. If Real Madrid wanted to buy him, they could have bought him a year ago. They can forget it.”
He also wants to keep Edu but rates the chances of him staying at 20%. Catalan daily Sport reports Barcelona are preparing a €45m bid for Thierry Henry. I’m preparing to pick my arse. Just as newsworthy.
Not a lot else going on. Again we have a Saturday free of Arsenal as Liverpool make the journey to Highbury on Sunday. Till tomorrow and have a good weekend.
