March 15th
A fairly quiet day yesterday, really. Cesc’s agent denied that Real Madrid were interested in signing our young star which is quite odd because their President made it quite clear that he was interested. Anyway, Joseba Diaz said “He has five years left on his contract and is very grateful to Arsenal and especially to Arsene Wenger.”
So let’s hope that story is put to bed for now. The specially arranged match to provide match fitness to Robin van Persie and Sol Campbell saw an Arsenal XI win 1-0 against Brighton reserves. Dennis Bergkamp got the goal, Campbell played for 90 minutes, van Persie for 72 and Theo Walcott was also involved. Full report here from .con.
Bad news for Freddie Ljungberg though as his stop-start season continues. He’s likely to be out for 10 days with a calf injury. It’s a shame as his form was really picking up but he keeps getting these little knocks which set him back again. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious with Juventus on the horizon and Charlton this weekend.
The Sun says Chelsea want to sign Ashley Cole but this time they’ll do it by the book and not like the sneaky, underhand, lying cunts they are.
Chairman PHW ruled out a move for David Beckham in the summer insisting the player had never been discussed at board level which, as my exclusive transcript reveals, is a complete lie:
Hill-Wood: “So how do you think he gets his hair like that? Gel? Wax?”
Dein: “Beats me, I’m just green about the way his tan looks so natural.”
Fiszman: “Green? Orange more like!”
Dein: “You shut up, you bitch!”
Hill-Wood: “Oooooh, hark at her!”
They’ll sign him and put him in charge of the beauty salon at the new stadium. Anyway, I’m exhausted but I have to go to work. What a pain in the hoop. Laters.
