Ok, after a stunning 5-4 win yesterday on a truly sodden pitch that would have had old-timers sighing with nostalgia let’s move on to the Arsenal and a quick Sunday round-up.
We’ll start with the News of the World’s interview with Gilberto in which he says he tried lots of times to convince Robinho to come to Arsenal telling he’d have been a ‘God’ at Highbury. He seemed interested until that giant thighed cunt Roberto Carlos told him the food in England was terrible so he moved to Madrid instead. It’s all water under the bridge now but it does show that we were definitely in for the player in a big way this summer.
And speaking of Real Madrid it seems somehow they’ve noticed that buying lots of lots of attackers doesn’t give you team the right balance and they’ve set their sights on a summer move for Cashley Cole which is no problem as we’ve got Gael Clichy to step up and take over.
Patrick Barclay talks to Dennis Bergkamp and Cesc Fabregas in an interesting piece in the Telegraph. Bergkamp on Cesc “The big change was on the physical side – I’ve never seen a young player make such an improvement in a short time.”
Ahead of tomorrow’s game against Everton the boss has warned the players that we can’t lose and need to find more consistency in our game. He says “You cannot win the title so early, but you can lose it.”
And that’s about it. Chelsea fluked another win yesterday and this morning the Scousers and the Mancs are set to play out and 8-8 with 14 red cards for Rooney alone. I’m off to get me brekkie and get back in time for that one. Laters.
