10.41 – Quick Sunday round-up, I’ve written enough crap this week.
Sol Campbell, who we’re hopeful of having back for the Champions League game during the week, has claimed Arsenal’s behaviour at Old Trafford last Sunday was simply a reaction to Manchester United’s players. “We responded to what was going on out there and all I’ll say is that Manchester United certainly played their part in what happened.”
Gary Lineker says Arsenal were ‘childish, but not malicious’ in the Telegraph, while Paul Wilson in the Observer asks questions of the referee. Demento says the FA would be throwing the book at Patrick Vieira if it wasn’t for Roy Keane. Jens Lehmann on being flattened by Quinton Fortune.
Former striker Alan Smith, who upset many Arsenal fans with his unusually caustic comments after the Old Trafford game, has been banned from the Arsenal training ground. According to Nigel Winterburn on Talksport “A number of the players at the club were very upset by his comments, and he has been banned from the training ground.”
The draw for the Carling (League, Milk, Rumbleows, Worthington, Coca-Cola) cup was made yesterday, and Arsenal will play first Division Rotherham at Highbury.
Better late than never, Leopold returns.
Right, that’ll do. More server shennanigans today. Hurrah.
