09.31 – Arsenal take on Fulham tomorrow, and Arsene Wenger is confident that the recent run of defeats will come to an end.
The gunners will be up against old team-mates, Luis ‘the dead snake’ Boa Morte, who says “I am an Arsenal fan still and, if Fulham can’t win the title, then I want Arsenal to”. We like Luis here, the crazy Ian Wright lookalike. Also, Monchichi Inamoto says he wants to show Arsene Wenger what he’s missed out on. Well, we won the league without him playing a single Premiership game, so you could say we didn’t miss out on anything. Except for shirt sales in the far east of course.
David Seaman says he has no intention of quitting international football. On his recent form he opines “It is not the end of the world. When I finish football I go home to a happy family.” Ahhh, good. The rest of us go home wondering how you got outpaced by Jan fuckin’ Koller. I’m of the opinion that the lack of competition for his place has made DS1 a touch complacent, and it doesn’t look like that problem is going to be addressed as AW says he has no intention of buying anyone when the transfer window opens in January. Personally, I think Seamo should call it a day at international level and give 100% to Arsenal for the remainder of his career. His unwillingness to do so pisses me off a bit, I have to say.
At least one punter remains confident in Arsenal this season. According to this report, some bloke put £64,000 on Arsenal to win the league. He stands to make a profit of £80,000 if we do. Not great odds for such a huge layout. Cheers to Marcus for the heads up on that story.
Myles Palmer reckons Francis Jeffers has no future at Arsenal. I’d like to see him start against Fulham with Dennis. Thierry needs a rest big time. For his body and for his mind. At least give jug-ears a chance before selling him on in January – look what happened with Edu. Everyone thought his Arsenal career was over before it began, but he took his chance when it was there. As for the rest of his article, Just say ‘No’, kids.
Dopey fucker of the week award goes to Aston Villa’s Darius Vassell who is out injured after trying to drill a hole in his big toe. Seriously. Finally, back to Arsenal friendly blogs, and how could I forget the brothers Fodge, John and his Fauxhemian Rhapsody and Roy, who seems to be growing a moustache for some reason.
