16.59 – Arsenal 1-0 Blackburn (Bergkamp)
The worst kind of game to listen to on the radio. An early goal for us and then every time they had the ball it sounded dangerous. We had loads of chances too, but didn’t take them, or Freidel pulled off yet another save (has that bloke ever played badly against us?).
Anyway, Dennis Bergkamp’s 11th minute goal was enough to put Arsenal back on top of the league. Which is nice. More tomorrow.
11.15 – A small Sunday round-up before today’s game against Blackburn.
Arsene Wenger on; how Thierry Henry can get better; how Jermaine Pennant will not be allowed to play for Leeds against Arsenal in the FA Cup, despite having his loan extended, and how Sylvain Wiltord still hasn’t signed a new contract (not that the boss is worried, or us really). We also get news of how Roman Championshipmanavich made a formal offer for Thierry Henry having been at Highbury on Wednesday for the Champions League game against Lokomotiv Moscow. Cheeky fucker. Some stuff on super-fast Kolo.
In the words of David Dein “Henry is not for sale, no esta en venta” he added for the benefit of the Spanish press. Also, the vice-chairman was quoted in El Mundo Deportivo yesterday saying that Cesc would be a part of the first team proper next season, he’s that good.
More later.
