It’d be great to tell you there was lots going on this morning but that would be a lie. It’s as quiet as a mouse. Who is dead. And was mute. His muteness amplified by his death. A million times nothing equals nothing.
Apparently, according to the Sunday Mirror, Robin van Persie turned down ‘mega deals’ from Chelsea, Man City, Inter Milan and Juventus before signing a new contract. I’m not sure how they know that. I suspect they’ve just decided that to be true then filled out the article with quotes from his interview on the official site.
The News of the World is reporting that Alisher Usmanov is going to call an EGM because he ‘fears financial meltdown’ and is ‘convinced fans are fed up’. Firstly, he’s a fat prick. Secondly, he shouldn’t presume to know what Arsenal fans are thinking, what with him being a Man United supporter. Thirdly, he needs to stop pretending that his intentions are what’s best for the club, they’re what’s best for him.
In the meantime we can only hope that the obvious tensions that exist at boardroom level have no impact on what happens on the pitch. I mean, I don’t think it will. I’ve never understood that line of thinking, players play, boardroomers boardroom. Once the guys on the pitch are getting paid then that should be about the end of it. Maybe if you have a director who’s a bit of a star fucker and loves the players to be his friends then it might just affect things but that’s not the case at Arsenal. Anymore.
Sunderland are favourites to sign Philippe Senderos, according to the Sunday Express while the Armand Traore to Birmingham on loan story resurfaces in a number of places this morning.
And that, sadly, it all there is. Have yourselves a good Sunday.
