March 23rd
Really not a lot going on this morning. There’ve been a couple of kick off changes. One is the Sunderland game which now takes place on May 1st after originally being schedules for April 29th and the other is the Sp*rs game which is going to be shown live on Sky on April 22nd. Kick off moves from 3pm to 12.45pm.
Thierry Henry on Alexander Hleb – “It takes time to get used to it [here], and we must not forget that he also got injured. But he has come back and then was not playing. We were not playing so well either and that does not help.“
Wenger on Campbell – “Sol is mentally focused, he is working hard and there is no basic problem. If he is fit I would have no problem with playing him against Juventus, but we have competition for places.”
Yep, and we’ve got two players in there who have given everything for us in recent weeks which puts them miles ahead of Campbell in the pecking order as far as I’m concerned. The fact that he has not once said sorry to the fans for his walkout means he is 100% off my Christmas card list. His only motivation now is the World Cup, where if Ferdinand and Terry stay fit, he’s going to spend the whole time on the bench.
Arturo Lupoli is out for the rest of the season with a foot injury. He was due to join Brighton on loan but that deal has had to be shelved.
Off again today and tomorrow, which is nice. Nearly as nice as the drilling cunts on the road outside. One of them decided he’d see how loudly he could smash an iron bar off another iron bar this morning. He could smash it very loudly indeed, so he could. So there you go. I’m going to have a PES5 tournament with some chaps from work who are also off today. It’s been a tough week.
