09.05 – AW says he’s pleased with a point after yesterday’s game with Sp*rs.
“I feel overall this is a good point for us. Spurs had a quick start and I think the fact they lost 3-0 at Highbury got them up for it”. True enough. It doesn’t stop Arsenal fans being slightly concerned with the way we’re playing at the moment though. Still, we’re top of the league and you can’t really ask for much more than that. You could ask for Liverpool to take 1 point from their last 18, but that would never happen. Oh, wait…hahahaha. It did. Stupid boggly-eyed Houllier and his crazy ways.
Somebody on TV made a good point about United’s return to form. With the big stars out injured, the other squad members are being given a chance to show what they can do, and have responded and performed really well. That level of performance isn’t sustainable though over a longer period, and perhaps when the likes of Keane and Beckham return, it might interrupt their flow a bit. Either way, it’s a right battle at the top this season, and credit to Claudio Ranieiri for getting Chelsea up there. He had no money to spend in the summer, has to put up with working for that bearded bitch Ken Bates and has to look at the sulking, weird lipped face of Graham le Saux every day. Still, you’ve gotta hate Chelsea.
Freddie Ljungberg – what’s happened to him? From being the most excellent and totally awesome player in the world last season, he now looks a shadow of his former self. Time for him to take a bit of a rest I reckon. I know he’s had a bad injury in the summer, but it’s quite clear he’s struggling both physically and with his form. Let old mekon head Wiltord have a run on the right, or even stick Parlour out there, but give Freddie a few games off and get him chomping at the bit for another sensational goalscoring run in the second half of the season.
Now, we all know monkeys are great things. Not only are they delicious and nutritious, good for testing toxic perfumes and new medical procedures on, and dressing up in bowler hats and suits to make them look more dignified so they can sell tea-bags, they make good video games. Here’s something chimptacular to help make your Monday a little more enjoyable.
Finally, many thanks to Lisa for all her help with CSS and the new ANR (Arseblog News Review) page.
