Welcome to another football filled Saturday.
Arsene Wenger has been talking. Firstly he denies making the remarks attributed to him yesterday. It wasn’t even so much the remarks that were the problem but the stupid headlines that the articles were posted under. ‘WENGER WRITES OFF UNITED’ and ‘WENGER MOCKS MANCHESTER UNITED’ screamed some of them. In fact he did no such thing.
To clarify he said “I said that Liverpool were the team of the 1980s, Manchester United were the team of the 1990s and it’s open to us to be the team of this decade. We are far from having done what United or Liverpool did.”
You have to wonder at the headlines writers though. Take Arsene Wenger’s denial that he’s interested in signing Michael Owen from Madrid. I’m surprised we didn’t see ‘WENGER SAYS OWEN IS TOO SMALL AND CRAP AND CUNTY TO PLAY FOR ARSENAL. AND THAT HE SMELLS FUNNY.’
I might try something like that with today’s headline. The boss also spoke about life in England, how much easier it is for foreign managers to come here now and how things have changed in the eight years he’s been at the club. ‘WENGER SAYS HE MADE ENGLAND A BETTER COUNTRY’.
He also spoke about Luis Aragones and felt the Spanish coach should apologise to Thierry Henry. ‘ARSENAL BOSS SAYS PAELLA LOVING, SIESTA TAKING SPANISH BOSS IS WHITE POWER BASTARD’
Ahead of the game Freddie Ljungberg is definitely out, as is Manuel Aluminium. ‘SWEDISH STAR COULD BE FORCED TO RETIRE, SPANISH KEEPER DITCHES ARSENAL TO FISH FOR COD IN OUR WATERS’.
Will we see Pennant or Pires on the right. Reyes or Bergkamp up front? We shall see. Enjoy your Saturday. More later.
