March 27th
Ah Monday, back to work today although for how long remains the question.
Not much happening really. No team news yet ahead of tomorrow night’s game but Juventus will be without Del Piero and the suspended Pavel Nedved. Apparently they’ve got some French midfielder who used to be quite good but I can’t find any stories about that. Another interesting factor is Thierry Henry playing against his old club. It would be fair to say his time at Juventus was not a success, playing as a wide man in a 5 man midfield was not his game and when Arsene took him to Arsenal and moved him to the striker’s position his career really took off. Juventus vice-President Roberto Bettega says about selling him – “It wasn’t an error on our part. And, remember, we are not talking about Henry as he is now. This was a long time ago.”
Robert Pires – “This is a very important stage for us, a little less so for Juventus who are more used to being in the Champions League semi-finals or final.”
Jens Lehmann will have to wait until May to find out if he’s got the number 1 shirt for Germany this summer. No harm, that. It’ll keep him on his toes.
There was a good result for us in the north east yesterday as Boro scored a last gasp winner against the Walrus man’s Bolton. Suck on that you gum chewing mouthpiece. We do need Blackburn to start dropping some points though and obviously it would be nice if Sp*rs imploded.
And that’s it. Welcome to a new week.
