08.59 – Watch out for them dragons today.
The FA have called for a video of Sol Campbell’s sending off against Manchester United. What exactly does ‘calling for a video’ entail? Does the head of the FA summon a young employee, and say “You there, fetch me a video of yon incident”, or do the clubs have to provide the tape? Either way, Arsenal’s hopes of having Campbell available fro the final few games of the season rest with the FA’s video advisory panel.
*gulp* – we should know something late today, or tomorrow.
There’s not a whole lot else that’s Arsenal related going on today actually. Turns out Glenn Roeder had a stroke, explained in Evetacular detail in yesterday’s arses.
Manchester United take on Real Madrid tonight, and far from wishing them bad luck, I hope they manage to sneak a winner in the very last minute of extra-time, taking them through to the semi-finals. Then I hope they win that semi-final with winner in the last minute of extra-time, then I hope they lose the final in front of their own fans at their own ground on penalties with Ruud van Nistelrooy missing his first ever Man Utd penalty in Brian McClair style.
Leeds won yesterday against Fulham, not sure if that’s good or bad. Good because it means they’re safe now, more or less, bad because it means Bolton really do need something from the game on Saturday. Anyway, whoever you play at this stage of the season, whether they’re scrapping for survival or looking for a European place or just playing for pride, it’s going to be a tough game. Arsene Wenger says Arsenal need maximum points to clinch the title. Not only that, I reckon we need maximum points and need to give somebody a 3 or 4 goal spanking on the way.
See what happens when Overmars tackles?
Finally, if you had to choose between saving a bus full of school children from being eaten by a dragon or Arsenal winning the Double, what would you choose?
