Only a month till Christmas, kids! Deck your balls with boughs of holly. Also, if anyone can play left back could they please contact [email protected] and let him know as Ashley Cole has had a set-back and won’t be back until the new year while Gael Clichy has just had surgery on his broken foot and will be at least 3 months before he plays again.
I think even AW can see that Pascal is not the answer and I expect Lauren to move over there until Cole is back. Whether that means he’ll play Kolo at right back and Senderos in the middle or if he’ll keep the central pairing and bring in Eboue remains to be seen. Personally I’d go with the first option but then what do I know? Jens Lehmann and Gilberto will both return after missing the trip to Switzerland in the week.
Thierry Henry could net his 100th Highbury goal if he scores against Blackburn tomorrow and Arsene Wenger has given him a gentle reminder that while he’s been a great player he’s got to acknowledge the contribution of Arsenal in that. He says “He has been inspirational for the club but I also feel that somewhere along the line the club helps the player. You need to meet the right club at the right moment and he did that.”
And that’s yer lot. Thank God it’s Friday though. A beer or two awaits after work.
