No joy yesterday as Bolton went down 1-0 to Sp*rs so we have to win our three remaining games and hope that a West Ham side that’s going to rest players ahead of the cup final can somehow take points from our old enemies. It seems very unlikely.
Ahead of tonight’s game against Sunderland Arsene Wenger says Chelsea will have to look over their shoulders at us as his young team are coming good. There’s no question we’ve got some immensely talented young players and those players will have stepped up a level by the start of next season but if we really want to trouble Chelsea more than twice next season then we need some investment this summer. That, however, is a story for another day. The focus is on winning tonight and against Citeh then hoping Sp*rs fuck it up somewhere along the way.
Chairman Peter Hill-Wood was his usual forthright self on the Henry situation, saying:
We haven’t got a clue want he wants to do. He’s slightly moody, too. Some days he’s up, some days he’s down. We hope he decides to stay with us, but I haven’t got any more idea than you have.
The Spanish press have also been full of it and if you believe them we’ve got no chance. According to them if we win the Champions League he’ll have nothing left to do at Arsenal so he’ll leave. If we lose the Champions League and don’t finish 4th we won’t play in the competition next season and he’ll leave. He’s also bought a house here, has been having Spanish lessons, he’s probably getting his ADSL installed already, some jamon iberico delivered and of course there’s that little cunt Giuly whose so keen to play with Henry next season he’s talking about leaving for Liverpool. I would suggest the only people who know are Thierry and his missus.
Team news for today will see Ashley Cole return at some point. Whether he starts or not is another question with the boss having been very impressed with Gael Clichy’s return against Villarreal. Campbell will continue in defence but we may see some changes and players rested and rotated. It’s on Sky Sports this evening so a couple of bank holiday beers and the football will make for a grand time.
Ok, thanks to our old chums at Goalhanger I’ve got some t-shirts to give away. There’s a Cesc one and a Jens Lehmann one. In fact there’s two of each. Click the images to have a better look.
To win all you have to do is answer the following easy question: From which club did we sign Jens Lehmann? Was it a) Bayer Leverkeusen b) Borussia Dortmund c) VfB Stuttgart.
Answers to [email protected] and the winners will be announced on Wednesday. Good luck!
Ok, that’s your lot. Here’s to three points today and I’ll see you tomorrow.
