Happy Saturday to you all.
Really not much going on. The boss has denied there’s a rift with Thierry Henry over his decision to wait until the end of the season to discuss a new deal. He says “Our desire is to talk about it earlier but you can only talk about it when both parties are ready. We will do it when he is ready. You have to respect his views.”
So we’ll just wait until the summer and that’s that. No point stressing about it between now and then but it would be a massive PR boost to hav Henry sign a new deal just as we’re moving into the new stadium. Of course it would be a massive pain in the hoop if we had to sell him but that’s football. We have more important things to worry about, like who knocked up Tom Cruise’s girlfriend seeing as he’s a Jaffa?
Ashley Cole’s broken foot will keep him out for 4-6 weeks giving Gael Clichy his chance while Monday’s reserve game against Sp*rs could see the likes of Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp, Lauren and Manuel Almunia get a run out as they’re not on international duty this weekend. The boss says “It’s always good to get 90 minutes under your belt in quite an intense game without being under pressure.”
And there you go. Enjoy your weekend and the internationals if that sort of thing floats your boat.
