This morning the drilling started at 8.15am. I woke up, cursed, and promptly fell back asleep where I had a dream I was football training with Arsenal. For some reason Patrick Kluivert was there too and he was absolute cack and a greedy fucker too. He’d never pass when we were attacking and every single shot went wide. Then Nicky Butt and Graeme Souness had fisticuffs and there was some kind of nuclear explosion. I don’t remember the rest.
In today’s news Dennis Bergkamp says he feels so young he might reconsider his imminent retirement, which I’m not sure about, and he’s talking about a testimonial which would be a fantastic thing for Dennis, in my opinion.
Goalkeeper Stuart Taylor has joined Leicester on loan and as normal with these things there’s the possibility of a permanent move. He’s had a cruel time with injuries and now finds himself third choice behind Jens Lehmann and Herman Almunia. Good luck to him.
It’s West Brom tomorrow and all things going well we’d be seeing Kanu back at the club, but he’s struggling with an injury. There’s little room for sympathy from his old team-mates as Kanu says “I spoke to some of the Arsenal boys and told them I wouldn’t be there because I was injured, which they laughed at.”
Given the propensity for old boys to score against us maybe we’re better off that he’s got a knock. Robert Pires has been fined for wearing the wrong clothes. He wore his Puma gear when he should have been wearing France’s Adidas stuff. Such nonsense.
Not a lot else to report unless you’re interested in reading more about the Spain v England game which I’m sure you don’t. As terrible as it was it’s a strange feeling when you see the Daily Mail castigating people for being racist.
Right, that’ll do it. What are you up to for the weekend then?
