Lots of stories ahead of tonight’s CL game against CSKA Moscow so this blog will be a linkathon.
We’ll start with team news and it’s possible that Justin Hoyte might recover in time but there’s no Adebayor. If Hoyte doesn’t recover it’ll be interesting to see who he plays at right back. With Gael Clichy back either Djourou (who revealed yesterday he signed a new 6 year deal in the summer) or Gallas could move across or Flamini could play like he did on Saturday.
AW says Thierry Henry will be motivated for this game after what happened in the away leg and hopefully he’ll get on the scoresheet. A big dunce’s F for Gabby Logan who wrote in the Times last night that Henry was booed at the weekend. Despite what was written yesterday some people are far too lazy or stupid to let the truth get in the way of what they think is a good line. Twats.
The boss has also called FIFA and UEFA stupid for not introducing video replays to the game. He says:
If there are situations where you are sure that if you look at a video you see if it is in or not in, why do we refuse to use that? It is not stubbornness, it is stupidity.
It’s going to become more of an issue, that’s for sure. Do we stick with the human error that we’ve lived with for so long or embrace technology? An issue for another day.
Philippe Senderos has recovered from his injury and is determined to win his place back in the side. On that and being given the number 6 shirt, he says:
One thing is always the same at Arsenal – if you play well then you will play, that’s the way it is here. I’m very proud of that [the number 6] but the only thing that really counts is how you do on the park.
Jeremie Aliadiere says he’s considering leaving Arsenal in January. He’s disappointed not to have played more and although he loves the club his career is more important. I think Wenger might let him leave especially considering the form and talent of Nicklas Bentdner who scored his 7th goal of the season for Birmingham last night.
Because he emailed me constantly and non-stop go here if you want to sign a petition about the clock end clock for Jonny. Please note that repeated emailing will now result in me completely ignoring you forever or perhaps hunting you down and giving you a solid thrashing.
Ok, Arseblog is the blog that keeps on giving. This time we have very kindly been given 6 copies of ‘We all live in a Perry Groves world’ by Perry Groves. It is ‘The heartwarming and hilarious account of life as an Arsenal legend’.
To enter simply answer the following question.
Is Perry’s book better than Ashley Cole’s piece of shit? a) Yes or b) No and I’m not Ashley Cole or anyone working for his agents, I swear
Simply email your answer to [email protected] and on Friday I’ll announce the 6 winners.
Easy peasy, eh? Finally, in relation to Friday’s arsecast I got an email about superstitions. People who wear a favourite jersey or eat a hotdog from the same stand each time. If you have a superstition regarding Arsenal please email them to arsecast@[removethis]arseblog.com and I’ll read out some of the best on the arsecast.
Right, that’s it but that’s more than enough. Here’s to a good result tonight. Come on the lads!
