There’s really very little going on this Sunday.
Arsene Wenger reckons Wayne Rooney will be playing for Manchester United or Chelsea next season, and not long after saying we don’t need big lump, he says he’d love him at the club. AW says “I dream at night of bringing him to Arsenal, but that’s all it is, a fantasy. I think Rooney will be a United player next season. They know they have to act because Chelsea will do something big and they cannot afford to be left behind.”
I think he’s obviously a very talented player, but I’d still like to wait and see what he does for the next couple of seasons before I’m convinced he’s the second coming. And I know his star is on the rise, but surely whoever’s advising him needs a good slap for the sappy drivel that’s all over this week’s News of the World. I’m reminded of that classic old joke about keeping a picture of the mother-in-law on the mantelpiece to keep the kids away from the fire. Fireplace sized piccies of Wayne could be a life-saver.
According to RTE, Graham Stack is set to leave Arsenal, and as previously reported he could be on his way to Milwall. Stackie says “I think this could be a brilliant opportunity for me. Working with Dennis Wise and Ray Wilkins is an exciting proposition and I think Millwall are a club with big ambitions. I had a great time with Arsenal.”
Graham Stack + Milwall + pitch invasions = fun/carnage. Best of luck to him.
It’s a bit grey and overcast here today, so bang go my plans of spending the day on the beach, although I might just head down there with the papers anyway and hope the sun comes out. Till later.
