February 13th
The usual quiet Monday to begin the week despite the game tomorrow. It’s just too early for there to be much news around.
Tony Adams says he’ll help Sol Campbell if Sol gives him a ring on the phone. He says Campbell is very shy and insular and reveals that Arsenal haven’t been interested in using his Sporting Chance charity. He says “I don’t know what support Sol’s getting, but Arsenal refused an education seminar from Sporting Chance, whereas we’ve been welcomed by other clubs such as Bolton and Everton.”
Maybe Arsenal just don’t have anyone, even Sol, as mental as Duncan Ferguson and Spitmaster Diouf.
Jens Lehmann questions Saturday’s referee while Gilberto, talking about some other stuff, thinks he generally did very well.
News on José Antonio is good. He hasn’t broken anything and has just suffered bruising after the horrible tackle on him on Saturday. He still faces a race to be fit for Real Madrid but he’s going to do his best, saying “It’s going to be treated as a bad knock and I’ll do everything possible to be ready for the game against Real Madrid. I wouldn’t miss that game for anything in the world.”
And that’s it. Another week begins. I’m exhausted after the worst night’s sleep I’ve had in ages. Must see if I can get 40 winks at work. I said ‘winks’, you sickos.
