Friday, hurrah! And we’ve got our old friends Bolton on Saturday and our old friend Walrus faced, enormous cunt Sam Cuntington McCunt de La Cunt D’Allardyce. We have most of who you’d expect to be available for the game, the obvious absentees are Cole and Clichy while Alexander Hleb is close to a comeback but is more likely to figure against Ajax than Bolton. Even better news is that Alex Song is nearly fit! We’ve really struggled without him since the Champions League game against Thun and having him back will ensure solidity, a Champions League win, season tickets for €1.50 and a free iPod for all Arseblog readers.
Arsenal and Celta Vigo yesterday signed a deal to ‘foster the development of young players and strengthen the two clubs’ according to the Galician side.
On their website they said “Celta and Arsenal believe that this deal will benefit both clubs and we would like to express our satisfaction with the agreement.”
What this also means is that Celta can sign promising youngsters from South America then fast-track for dual citizenship under Spanish law which will allow them to play as EU players and not as a foreigner which means they’ll also be able to play in England but I’m sure it’s mostly about young players. That said a couple of our youngsters could benefit with loan moves and with the boss talking about sending Quincy, amongst others, out on loan, some La Liga experience certainly wouldn’t do them any harm and it would certainly be a lot better for them than going to Beveren.
Cashley Cole’s ridiculous campaign to fight for ‘justice’ after being found guilty of clearly breaching Premier League rules has taken a bit of a battering after the Premier League simply refused to acknowledge the authority of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Fantastic! Regular readers will know what I think of Cole’s crusade (it’s very similar to what we all think of Tottenham) and with any luck he’ll end up with a massive legal bill and nothing more. It’s all he deserves.
And there you go. Time for some work, then a few after work pints then an early night. I’m planning on being in bed by 8.30.
