After yesterday’s epic I’ll try and keep today as brief and to the point as possible.
Ashley Cole is on his way back having had a reserve outing this week. He’s unlikely to be fit to face Blackburn this weekend though. Arsene Wenger says “He responded to the reserve game with a lot of fatigue because he has hardly played in over four months. The plan with him is to play him on Monday night in the reserves against Tottenham and assess him after that.”
And despite the News of the World claiming Gael Clichy’s injury could be career threatening he’s nearly there too and he said via some website you have to register for that he thought he’d be back for Madrid game but suffered a small setback. His surgeon reckons it’s nothing serious though and he could be back in about three weeks.
Silvinho says Barcelona must buy Thierry Henry if they get the chance which is a bit like saying any red blooded male should have sex with Angelina Jolie if they get the chance.
Jurgen Klinnsman is going to alternate his goalkeepers in the run up to the World Cup but as Jens is playing so well and Oliver Kahn looks like an albino baboon I hope our man gets the nod for the tournament. Sky Sports is reporting we’re chasing yet another wonderkid, this time it’s 18 year old Milan midfielder Federico Piazza. He’s yet to sign a professional contract so chances are we’d be one of the teams sniffing around if there is any real interest in him.
Real Madrid want Cesc. Well, they can want in one hand and shit in other and see which gets full first.
Thierry Henry – “We are dead in the Premiership and the FA Cup. So we only have the Champions League left. We are a team hanging on to its last chance of winning a trophy. As for the Premiership, we must at least manage to qualify for the preliminary round of the Champions League. That is vital.”
Do I need to comment? Nah. Right, it’s Friday. I’m off to work then I might just have a beer or two.
