08.55 – So the dreaded international week is upon us again, and while there seems to be a bit of Arsenal news around today, expect the quantity of Arse related info to dwindle as the week goes on.
We’ll start with some good news on the injury front. Ashley Cole and Super Oleg came through a friendly game yesterday at Arsenal’s training ground. Sol Campbell is out of England’s game against Lichtenstein, although he might well play against Turkey next week. Robert Pires is definitely out of France’s game against Malta and he reveals the Arsenal players looked like ‘litte old men’ before the cup game against Chelsea. Patrick Vieira is also doubtful for the French as he says “I need to take stock because my whole leg is injured. In our last two games for Arsenal, we have all had to dig deep into our reserves to win.”
It is great to know that they’ll have the whole summer off to relax, recuperate, rest those troublesome injuries, and not have to go off and play in some no-mark, useless, brainschild of Blatterbollox tournament that no cunt gives a fuck about apart from FIFA coz they make a few quid out of it. Something has to give here – I say our French players should make a stand against FIFA, tell them to go fuck themselves and then stick the Confederations Cup – and I do mean the trophy – so far up Sepp Blatter’s arse it’d take a team of highly trained vets to remove it. But then, maybe that’s just me…..
The Sun speculates that Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson will move to Arsenal in the summer because he’s been house hunting around the London area. I would take that with a pinch of salt – how many times did we hear the ‘Robbie Fowler’s bought a house in London’ story? Peter Osgood makes an even bigger twat of himself by trying to claim, in a Hoddle stylee, that he never said them things about Francis Jeffers. In an interview with the BBC he says “I went live on television and it’s there to hear what I had to say… I never said in my life that I wanted a fellow professional to get hurt. I would never say that.”
He is corrct in one sense – it was on live TV. And verbatim, this is what he said “I would love to see him get really hurt.” Er Peter, if it’s on live TV, you can’t claim to be misquoted, gobshite.. I heard him say it myself. All that heading a heavy leather football must have damaged his brain.
Right, that’s yer lot for today. I’m going to sit and watch the rain in Spain fall mainly on my window …er…pane.
