Good morning chaps and chapettes. A very quick one as my head hurts like a fox.
After members day yesterday (thanks to everyone who sent me pics) Arsene is worried that we might be a bit short for the Champions League qualifier as some players don’t come back from their holidays until August 2nd. I’m not worried though.
Dennis Bergkamp’s testimonial opens the Emirates Stadium tomorrow and our ex number 10 reckons our boys will be a match for Chelsea next season. He says:
We believe that if we have a strong team with a solid defence, we have the players who will score goals and win against anyone.
Amen to that Dennnis. You can see the testimonial on Channel 5 in the UK and for those of you in Ireland it’s on TG4. And you can read what Lee Dixon and Bruce Rioch, the man who signed Bergkamp, have to say about him on the BBC.
Theo Walcott was early for training yesterday. Three weeks early apparently. Hurrah, or something.
And that’s all the Arsenal news there is. Lots of people email me about Barcelona and where to go and seeing as I’m leaving soon I can give you some recommendations.
If you want to eat well, drink well and later in the night get down like a fox then you have to CDLC which is right on the beach. Yesterday me and Mrs Blogs went there for food, a couple of bottles of Chilean wine and some rum. It’s a fantastic place, the service is excellent (especially if you get the little Italian waiter!) and I love it.
If you’re just looking for a bar then you have to go to El Ke on the corner of Roger de Lluria and Diputacion. It makes the best Caiparinha in town and they give you enormous measures if you ask for a gin and tonic or a rum and coke and not only that they give you a little bowl of fish shaped biscuit snacks with each drink. Awesome!
Go there. Tell them I sent you. Now I must lie down again.
