A quick Saturday round-up for you before I head off to play with football myself.
Arsene Wenger revealed that he was set to give Jermaine Pennant a new contract before the jug-eared winger decided to go driving somebody else’s car while he was banned and drunk. AW accepted the fact that it was more difficult for Pennant to break into the team because he had Pires and Ljungberg ahead of him but felt his talent would shine through eventually. Well played, Jermaine. Wenger’s comment that he’d mature ‘more slowly’ than other players hits the nail right on the head. The boss will also have made himself even more popular with United fans by suggesting they should give Malcolm Glazer a chance. At his normal press conference yesterday he said “I must say I’m not a lot inspired by it, as I don’t know what is going on really. I know people have said this guy is not interested in football, but why has he fought so hard to invest 800 million pounds?”
The boss has also spoken a bit about Dennis and next season saying “We have to have an agreement between him and me and I want to tell him what I expect of him and he has to agree with that.”
Edu says Arsene Wenger made him a better player and a better man. Talking to Arsenal.con he said “I said ‘thank you’ to him [after the Everton game] because I have become a much better footballer with him and a better man.”
Not a lot else happening. Tomorrow is the final day of the Premiership season. How quickly did it go? Bloody hell. Anyway, I’m off to double to my goal tally for the season. Till tomorrow.
