What are you looking at?
A brief round-up this morning. AW says Thierry Henry (who explains his muted celebrations against Panathinaikos) is ‘incomparable’ to any other striker and wants those who criticise him to share the love. “This guy is top scorer and provider in the league, and top scorer in the Champions League for us. We should only praise him.”
He has also said he’ll be looking for one new player when the transfer window opens and he’s ruled out a move for Scarface Mutu.
Edu is out of today’s game but a new contract at Arsenal looks more likely. According to his agent and brother (Anelkamungous) “Arsenal showed themselves to be flexible in the meeting this Friday,
and everything was a little easier, which indicates that a renewal of Edu’s contract is closer to happening.” Expect to find more on his official website soon.
And if anything puts Arsenal’s so-called crisis into perspective let’s take a moment to look at Spurs whose saviour Jaques Santini quit after just 13 games and who will cost the pretenders £3m in compensation. It’s good to know that with all the boardroom changes and all the millions they’ve spent on managers they still can’t find anyone to make them a decent side again.
Right, that’s yer lot. It’s Palace at Selhurst Park in a late kick-off this afternoon. More later.
