Let’s start with congratulations to José Antonio Reyes and Philippe Senderos as Spain and Switzerland both made it to next year’s World Cup last night. Spain’s passage was never threatened despite going a goal behind but the Swiss certainly made life hard for themselves as Turkey won 4-2 but their 2-0 win in the first leg and some away goals saw them through. Violent scenes at the end though saw a Swiss player reportedly hospitalised after being kicked in the bollocks. That must have been some kick. No word on whether Big Phil was involved but I’m sure he just swatted away anyone who came near them before stomping them to death. No fuss.
Ruud Gullit. Great player, shit manager, worse pundit. He thinks Thierry Henry will leave Arsenal.
He’s never been any good since he cut his hair short. Grow your dreads and we might listen to something you have to say you shitebag. Apparently José has pleaded with Thierry to stay but The Sun only tells us this without giving us any of the pleading. Typical.
Arsene Wenger has been talking about bringing players in during the transfer window but not just any old player. He won’t make signings for the sake of it as he has confidence in the players he has. He says “All I can say at the moment is that we have not had any contact with anybody. It’s time to believe in the squad we have as we have some outstanding quality but If I find the right player then maybe. But if I don’t, then I don’t mind.”
Mihir Bose reports on two new appointments to the Arsenal board for the future. Will either of them be Chairman? Will we have the orangest Chairman in all of football or will Double-D still be around then? Who knows?
Now, if we could just have a moment’s silence for the bloke who has to sit next to me at work. Today’s lunch is what’s left of last night’s chilli. I am full of air and something has to give. Think Hidenburg. Oh the humanity! Till tomorrow, Arsefans.
