With internationals on this week it might be a slow one in terms of news. The main story this morning is David Dunn of Blackburn opening his enormous mouth in his enormous head, a head which makes John Merrick’s look like a trophy on the wall of a jungle tribe’s head shrinking expert, about Arsene Wenger. Because his head is so very massive his voice can be heard for miles around, something akin to the way an earthquake can be felt from miles away due to its great force, but he seems to have overlooked the fact that nobody gives a fish’s tit what he says, the gigantic domed cuntsack.
Speaking about transfers Arsene was as vague as ever, saying:
I still feel I will do something if it comes up. But at the moment, frankly, I am nowhere. I have not found anybody. Either they do not exist, or if you go into the market and want to buy someone tomorrow, it will be at a very high price.
Names like Quaresma and Anelka are being bandied around, mostly because nobody can think of anyone else who might fit the bill. Then again nobody would have picked out Sagna or Eduardo as potential signings before the summer began so what we think isn’t really that important. What I do find hard to believe is that Arsene Wenger, with his knowledge of players and with his network of scouts, can’t find anyone at the right price who might improve our team. Even if we do have to pay over the odds a little bit that won’t make us any different from any other team who has bought players this summer. The market is inflated but it’s not just inflated for us. I remain hopeful but to be honest it’s too stressful worrying and fretting about transfers. Que sera, sera.
The manager is expecting a tight title race this time around, with more teams involved than in the last few years. To be honest I’d prefer a one-horse race with us in front and the other donkeys and mules trying to catch us up. Not much chance of that though.
As I mentioned yesterday Cesc has given his backing to Jens Lehmann after his latest mistake against Blackburn. That is only right and it’s good to see but ultimately it’s down to the manager to make a decision about Jens and he’ll be watching the England v Germany game very closely, I’d imagine. Another mistake and you’d have to think it’s curtains for Jens, for a while at least. Meanwhile Jens has been talking about how totally awesome Germany are and how totally lame England are. You’d have to think that interview was given before his Blackburn disaster because he really should just be keeping schtum at the moment.
For those of you who missed it yesterday check out Arsenal doing the ‘Crossbar challenge’ on French TV. The YouTube video is a bit jumpy but there’s a way of looking at it streaming through the Eurosport site which is better quality. See here for more details and my thanks to Leky for the video.
Finally for today I have to wish the Mug Smasher a happy Jesus birthday today. I did buy him a very expensive present but when I was walking home from the shops I got attacked by some ruffians and they stole it from me. I hope they choke on all 12 inches of it.
He really wanted that My Bloody Valentine picture disc.
Till tomorrow.
