november 28th
What an aching Sunday morning this is, but Liverpool later in the day will ensure my muscles are cured by sweet, sweet beer.
To start today let’s clear up the incorrect stories which say Edu has told Arsene Wenger he wants to leave. The actual quote, and not the press modified one, is “I want him to sign, but if he refuses to sign, and says to me ‘I want to go’, then of course I cannot let him go until I find somebody.”
This is in reference to our lightness of numbers in midfield with Gilberto out injured and two relative novices in Cesc and Flamini (who may well start today in place of our young Catalan). Wenger rates the chances of him signing a new deal at 80%. In better contract news it appears that Sol Campbell has agreed a new deal, but we’ll wait for official confirmation before creaming our pants.
Demento has re-opened the scabby wounds of the Old Trafford league game by saying Arsenal didn’t want to attend a peace summit because they were too embarrassed. That’s one interpretation. Another might be that Ferguson is a smelly old fucker who nobody wants to share an enclosed space with. Anyway, it’s our kids against his kids on Wednesday in the Carling Cup.
That’s about it. Undecided about where to watch the game today. I’m a little under the weather (not from alcohol either) so the couch at home might just do the trick. More later.
