Bit of a late blog today as Blogger only asked me late last night to do it, which coincided with my drinking until very early this morning.
As you’d expect, the fall out from the Ashley Cole saga continues with Jean Marc Bosman giving his support to Ashley Cole and says he’s going to come to London to support him (because poor little Ashley can’t look after himself), Real Madrid allegedly going to try and tempt Arsenal with a £14m bid, and Arsenal set to reject all offers for Cole and risk losing him on a free when his contract expires.
Just to add my 2 cents, I thought it was disgraceful and insulting that someone associated with Cole used the word ‘slavery’ in relation to the situation. Unbelievable. And pretty much everything else Blogger said yesterday. I don’t see how Cole can stay now. It’s a shame, right enough, but he seems to have burnt his bridges and he’s fucked over the club who’s invested so much in him. Obviously he’s contributed to his own success but so have Arsenal, and he’s gone about all of this in the wrong way.
In other news, Freddie Ljungberg has apparently been saying that he doesn’t think you can expect young players to last the length of the season and that we need to sign a couple of established players. No arguments here, though quite a few people think the right side is one of the areas we need to strengthen.
And that’s your lot. I’m off to try and stop feeling sick.
