20.01 – Some word that the Pires injury might not be as serious as first feared – see here for details. I’m slightly confused as to why all his treatment is being carried out under the watchful eye of the French coach, but we can only assume it’s all being done with the blessing of Arsenal FC.
I see that Arsenal.com set up a thingy to send get well soon messages to Robert Pires. They didn’t do anything of the sort for poor old Giovanni Van Bronckhurst when he suffered the same injury – how must he feel? I’d say he’s got a right pain in his knee with the insensitivity of it all. Shame on you arsenal.com webmaster.
There’s a colour version of the new Arsenal kit – as premiered on Sunday here on A R S E B L O G – on Arsenal World.
There’s been a lot of talk over the last few days that Jaap Stam will join Arsenal this summer. I had heard that we were looking at a centre-half in Italy, but as I exclusively revealed earlier in the month, it was Verona defender Marco Zanchi that had caught the eye of the Arsenal scouts. Maybe that was just a smoke screen. Also, some talk of Overmars being brought back in on loan as cover for Bob, but ask yourself this – if he can’t get into the most average Barcelona side of the last 10 years, why would we want him?
I’ve been asked to do a wallpaper of Lauren, but I’m not going to, for a couple of reasons. 1 – I can’t really find any decent pictures of him and 2 – I just can’t find it in myself to like him. He’s a funny looking bloke, who hasn’t quite convinced me with his football, and at this moment I am totally and utterly indifferent to him. I don’t dislike him, but I don’t have any warm, cuddly feelings for him the way I do for almost all the other members of the squad – and I mean that in the most heterosexual way possible. Not that I have a problem with gayness, some of my best friends are gay blah blah blah. Just wanted to make sure my comments were not misinterpreted and don’t come back to haunt me with a ‘ARSENAL WEBSITE BLOKE WANTS TO SHAG ENTIRE PLAYING SQUAD EXCEPT LAUREN’ headline. Seriously, how do you think that would make him feel?
So, for the moment, Lauren wallpaper is a non-runner. Of course, when he scores the goal that wins us the league, I might just revise my way of thinking…..
08.55 – Given the drama of yesterday, I am confidently predicting that today will be a slow day in terms of Arsenal news. Which is just as well, coz I’m gonna be out all day. I’ll probably come back to find we’ve signed Rivaldo on loan…..
To keep you occupied for a couple of seconds, you can download the brand new Oleg Luzhny wallpaper – as usual, you’ll find it in the ‘OTHER’ section above.
