09.47 – Sol Campbell is out of the Champions League game against Locomotiv Moscow. He’s still unable to play after the death of his father. Martin Keown should have recovered from his kick on the fibula to play alongside Kolo Toure. Ashley Cole is also expected to make the trip, but Patrick Vieira and Freddie Ljungberg are both out.
On a slow day I experience a sudden surge of goodwill towards Paul Ince of all people as he calls Mark Lawrenson a ‘prick’.
On a slow day I notice that we’re being linked with Cardiff City defender Danny Gabbidon.
Ian Wright has criticised the club for their treatment of ex-star Paul Davis. “All Paul Davis wanted to do was give something back to football, but instead he has been shit on. Paul Davis is more qualified than Liam Brady. He’s got more experience, won more medals and got more badges than Liam. In actual fact, Paul Davis should have been interviewing Liam Brady, not the other way round.”
Ok, that’ll do. Everything’s going to change over today. Fingers crossed it all goes well.
