Morning Arsechums. I am most relieved this morning as I dreamt I had broken my arm last night and it was all a bit painful and inconvenient. I’m sure it was just Mrs Blogs bashing me to stop me snoring or something.
Alexander Hleb has spoken about Arsene Wenger saying he has a gift from God. The Belarussian talks about he knows he has shortcomings in front of goal and that the boss has him doing special training to try and improve his finishing. Perhaps we need to send him to finishing school in Switzerland.
“Finishing school? Great!”, says Alex.
“Yes”, I say before turning to the man beside me and whispering, “finish him.”
The Independent has some transfer speculation. They say we’ll let Freddie Ljungberg go on a free transfer if someone picks up his £70,000 a week wages. Here’s a revolutionary idea, why don’t we actually get a transfer fee for Freddie if we’re going to sell him? He’s only 30 years of age and frankly this habit we’ve got into of letting players go for free doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. They also say our interest in Ryan “Towerof” Babel has cooled and that the potential fee for Frank Ribery might be too much for us. Then they throw a new name into the mix, a 19 year old Brazilian called Renato who, if I recall correctly and I think I do, might just be a bit too portly for Premiership football.
Not much else happening. I seem to have received, overnight, a number of emails about Arsenal planning to erect 32 mobile phone masts on the top of Ashburton Grove which is causing some concern for local residents as mobile phone masts are like mini-Chernobyls or something. Anyone got any info on this?
Now, I’m off to try and record an Arsecast. Could be a short one this week. A very short one. Like “Hello – goodbye” short but no “Say hello, wave goodbye” short.
