Another quiet kind of a day and my entire body is aching from football last night. Even typing hurts.
Kolo Toure shows once again why we all love him as he sticks up for poor old Pascal. We’ve not always been Cygan friendly on this site but I think the grief he’s gotten for Tuesday’s own goal is over the top.
The boss talks about Robin van Persie and may consider him for a starting role as he looks set to rest Dennis Bergkamp against Palace. He’s impressed AW with his willingness to work and his attitude. The boss says “In fairness, there were people who questioned his attitude before he signed but all I can say is that I’m very happy with his attitude. His commitment and motivation are excellent.”
That appears to be in marked contrast with David Bentley who has found himself out of the Norwich first team and has been told by Nigel Worthington he needs to work harder to get himself back into the picture. John Spicer’s loan spell at Bournmouth looks set to be extended. He’s scored 3 times in 11 appearances for them so far. Robert Pires expects to be dropped by France, bad for him, good for us.
Don’t forget the Football Manager 2005 competition, see yesterday’s blog for details, and if you’re in England tonight try not to blow off too many of your fingers.
