I think it’s quite well known that Arsenal have one of the smallest pitches in the league, but apparently it’s too small for UEFA. This article popped up on a Scouser’s site on NewsNow and basically it says that Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea’s pitches are all below the required minimum size for UEFA, but don’t worry, we’ve all been granted exceptions to play our Champions League games because there’s lots of money involved in those clubs.
Not so lucky were poor old Hearts up in Scotland. But nobody cares about them because they’re cunts. I wonder why we’ve never heard about this before though (our pitch being too small, not Hearts being cunts). Can anyone who has the time or inclination to look this kind of thing up confirm that the Highbury lawn is smaller than the 105m x 68m minimum? If nobody can be arsed, don’t worry, it’s a slow Monday morning and I’m just trying to fill up space.
Be thankful I haven’t resorted to using pointless sentences like this one. Or this one.
Ahead of the PSV game Patrick Vieira has issued a call to arms for the Arsenal players, Arsene Wenger wants the team to be focussed and to fulfil their potential in Europe, while former Gunner Sylvain Wiltord is looking forward to playing for Lyon against Manchester United. PSV boss Guus Hiddink has a plan for tomorrow night’s game and I suspect he’s taken a few pointers from the way Ajax, amongst others, played last season. They’re going to sit and sit and not allow us any kind of space. Here’s hoping we get off to a good start in Europe this season. Last season’s heroics were fantastic, but sometimes I prefer when we do things the easy way.
I was going to go to the gym this morning but I seem to have caught the plague sometime last night, so I’m just going to sit on the couch and snuffle. How was your weekend then?
