When it’s hot you have to sleep with the window open. Barcelona is an amazingly noisy city at night and I live in a relatively quiet area. Fucking street cleaning, post office working, bin collection, loudmaking cunts.
Anyway, on to the football. The Mirror is reporting that Chelsea will make a £20m bid for Ashley Cole this week. There’s all the usual regurgitated crap about how Cole doesn’t forgive Double D for not putting his agent on the Arsenal payroll and that he wants to leave. They also say he has a £16m buy-out clause in his contract which makes you wonder why even Chelsea would pay £4m more than they have to.
As I said previously the Cole situation seems to change by the week. One week it’s more likely he’ll stay, the next he’s off. What is true is that his agent wants him to move and I suppose it wouldn’t take too much to convince Cole considering he still falls for the “Ashley! Look over there!” and when he looks someone nicks chips from his plate trick.
We’ll see what happens and I expect things to get quite busy in the next week or two.
Robert Pires says he joined Villarreal to win La Liga. It’s a nice thought but I don’t they have the players to even come close.
Matt Le Tissier says Theo Walcott should have played in the World Cup at some stage. He says:
He’s got bags of ability and can change the course of a game. I’d be a bit disappointed if I was in his shoes. He has every right to feel frustrated.
In World Cup news it’s Germany v Italy and Jens Lehmann will be looking to keep out an Italian side that have found their shooting boots. It should be a good one. I think I’ll be watching with lots of Italians so there’ll be plenty of ‘Oooh mama!’ and ‘vaffanculo’ especially when I’m up for the hosts.
Finally, greetings to all Arseblog’s American readers who today celebrate the release of Will Smith’s blockbuster ‘Independence Day’. What an odd bunch they are.
Right, that’s it. Mañana.
