February 11th
Let me start this morning with a gaseous *boilk*. Mmmmmm, that’s the stuff.
A quick Arsene says round up for you this morning.
Arsene says said he turned down the England job. Can’t say I blame him, it’s football’s most poisoned chalice.
Arsene says we’ll probably be without Ashley Cole for the Real Madrid game – “I would not say Ashley has zero chance, but it is very, very little. To go into that type of intensity will be very difficult.”
Arsene says some stuff about the Alexander Hleb … erm … it’s not quite an affair, he’s not important enough for that … erm… thing – “There are three parties interested in a transfer – the player and the two clubs. After the story, Arsenal came out saying ‘we do not want to sell Hleb’. Hleb came out saying he does not want to go and Hamburg came out saying they are not interested in Hleb. What else can I say? End of story.”
Arsene says he’s not thinking about the Madrid game yet and that his focus is on the league and getting us into the Champions League, he also says Sol Campbell’s injury is real.
Arsene Robert Pires says he’s thinking about leaving as the club are only offering him a one year deal and he would like a two year deal. At the age of 32 the weather, and not money, has become a factor in his decision making. He says “The fact of having the sun all the time is an important asset. I will take everything into consideration.”
Heartbreak for Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue as the Ivory Coast lost the African Cup of Nations final on penalties. From a selfish point of view I suppose it’s good for us because they can come back sooner and not have to parade the trophy and from another point of view it’s hilarious that the world’s most hideous cunt missed one of the vital penalties. Stick that up your hole, Drogba.
And that’s about it. Have a good weekend. Three points from our old friends Bolton would be quite the tonic. Come on you reds.
