Morning all. Hope you’re all feeling fine and dandy.
It’s Chelsea tomorrow and naturally all the focus is on Cuntley Cunt. Arsene Wenger has said that Arsenal fans should respect what Cole did as a player for the club and I think he’s right. He was a fantastic player for us. He came through the ranks, was an Arsenal boy through and through and became one of the best left backs in the world playing in our team. He got some stick when he first broke into the England team but we supported him. When he got sent off we supported him. When he didn’t play well we supported him.
When he went to meet Chelsea all that changed. With the greatest of respect if Alex Song went to meet Chelsea tomorrow and subsequently signed for them I doubt there’d be too many people who would have a problem with it. In fact there might be some street parties and galas. The fact is Cole was a great player and nobody ever disputed that. It’s the fact that he was a great player, added to the fact he was an Arsenal fan – one of us so we thought – added to the slimy, underhand, deceitful, duplicitous, unethical, illegal, snide, treacherous, conniving, dishonest way he and his cunt of an agent manufactured that has created the bad feeling.
“When I heard Jonathan (Barnett) repeat the figure of £55k, I nearly swerved off the road” – Cuntley Cunt
“All Arsenal did was offer to double his wages” – Liam Brady
So while there is respect for what Cunt did as a player there is no respect whatsoever for him as a person. He is weak, greedy and disloyal and that is why he’ll get picked on by the Arsenal fans at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.
I have to say the involvement of the police is just ridiculous. Apparently the gay rights group Outrage has been cosnulted by police and they will search fans for ‘homophobic material’. Is an inflatable mobile phone homophobic? No. Ar fake £20 notes homophobic? No. Is it in great taste? Not really but then neither are 60,000 Manchester United fans singing about our manager being a paedophile and I have yet to hear the police, Sky, Manchester United Football Club or anyone bar Arsenal fans complain about it. Goodplaya has something to say on this as well.
I hope Cole gets horrendous stick tomorrow, he deserves it, but I hope it’s restricted to verbals only. If he can’t take a bit of grief from the fans he let down so badly then that’s his problem. I hope the stewards at Chelsea realise that fake £20 notes are unlikely to cause anyone, especially Cole, any damage – unless someone runs onto the pitch and gives him a paper cut between his fingers. I hope they’re not too heavy handed and I hope all Arsenal fans going are treated with the respect they deserve and not judged and sentenced before they get there which seems to be the case at the moment.
In terms of the team, which is the most important thing, it looks like Djourou will make it which means double Swiss in the centre of defence. Arsene Wenger is confident that Philippe Senderos can deal with Didier Drogba and he rightly points out that Senderos was a vital part of the defence which went so long in last season’s Champions League without conceding a goal.
He also thinks that a win puts us back in the title race and he’s probably right there too. We’re overdue a win against Chelsea. There was a time they couldn’t buy a result against us. Now we’ve gone over two years without beating them and the time is right. Can we do it? Yes, of course we can. We’ve performed well in the big games this season and I don’t expect that to change tomorrow.
In other news Roy Keane wants to sign Anthony Stokes for Sunderland while Ian Wright says Arsenal have let Thierry Henry down by not signing someone like Jermaine Defoe. Yes, the same Jermaine Defoe that can’t get a game for Sp*rs at the moment. More rubbish from Wrighty.
And that’s it. Enjoy your Saturday. More tomorrow.
