november 30th
A much shorter blog today as it’s the last day of the month and I’m way over my word quota. I’ll have to fine myself if I go on too long today.
Thierry Henry is one of the three finalists for the Fifa World Player of the Year award. He’s up against Barcelona’s Ronaldinho and AC Milan’s Andriy Shevchenko. Consider the consistency of his play and goalscoring for the last three seasons you’d have to think he’s got a good chance. The winner will be announced on December 20th. Thierry also reveals that both he and Patrick Vieira have been playing with injuries.
Four days before that Arsene Wenger will have his personal hearing with the FA with regard to the remarks he’s alleged to have made about that big cheater Ruud van Nistelrooy being a big cheat.
And continuing with the boss there really is only one person to blame for our terrible run at the moment. Blame Wenger – a new column by Femaiden makes it quite clear who’s to blame for everything.
Finally for today I’m happy to announce the launch, just in time for the Christmas rush, of the official Arseblog t-shirt in association with my chums at goalhanger.com. Each t-shirt sold raises some money for the site and ensures you look fuckin’ excellent and devillishly stylish. To celebrate this I’ve got a couple to give away. Just email [email protected] and tell me which player gave Arseblog its tagline by saying “It’s fuckin’ excellent” live on Sky Sports just after the 2002 FA Cup final. Winners will be announced on Thursday morning.
