Morning all. Hope you had a fun weekend.
Not much going on now that the World Cup footbal has slowed to a trickle and the transfer rumours haven’t really begun.
Sven has defended his decision to bring Theo Walcott to the World Cup saying that he thought Walcott was a better option than Jermaine Defoe. That said I’m sure if he’d brought Defoe we’d have seen him play alongside Rooney whereas Theo was never given a chance at all so it’s another case of the Swede talking out of his arse.
The French team doctor says Thierry Henry may suffer from achilles problems this season as he needed a summer of rest to ensure he recovered properly. He may not though. Or he may. I may have two poos today. Or I may not.
Henry speaking about France’s World Cup:
We were criticised at first, and rightly so because we weren’t playing well but we’re not favourites to win the World Cup now. You can’t be the team that everyone was laughing at at the very beginning and suddenly be favourites.
So Arsenal interest in the semi-finals centres around Henry for France and Jens for Germany. They could, results going their way, meet in the final next weekend. That would certainly be interesting.
News from Spain – Ramón Calderón won the Real Madrid presidential election. He’s the one who said they had a deal with Cesc, Kaka and Arjen Robben. Let’s see if he can put his money where his mouth is or if he’s won it on the back of empty promises. Afterwards he’s said very clearly that Kaka would be a Real Madrid player but said nothing about Robben or Cesc.
However, his right hand man and sporting director, Pedja Mijatovic, apparently had dinner with Cesc’s agent and they came to an agreement over a 5 year contract for our man. They say Mijatovic will be in contact with Arsenal in the next few hours to arrange the transfer. I expect the conversation to go something like this.
“Hello, this is Mijatovic from Real Madrid.”
“Fuck off, cuntchops.”
*click*
Expect a lot of bullshit about this in the next few days. I will keep you up to date with the crap they’re talking.
Ok, nothing more. Sweltering here a bit. Till tomorrow.
