01.49 – Chippy reckons the current crop of Arsenal youngsters are the best the club has ever produced. He cites the progress of Ashley Cole and Stuart Taylor as proof that the academy is capable of producing players good enough for the first team. He also talks about Ryan Garry, Jermaine Pennant and Jeremie Aliadiere.
Of the young French striker he says “He is one of the players we have high hopes for. If he had been fit throughout the [last] season he definitely would have played and had a good few games in the first team.”
With Jeffers gone and Kanu invisible, it seems more and more likely we’ll see him in the first team soon. He might have some competition from Papadopalus, who has been given given shirt number 32 and a place in the first team squad.
Ipswich reserves 1-4 Arsenal reserves. Scorers – Aliadiere, Thomas, Halls, Hoyte.
Cesc update: He’s definitely signed for Arsenal, Barcelona can take a running jump, he’s started training and will be sharing lodgings with Philippe Senderos who is a fluent Spanish speaker. According to his agent, Joseba Diaz, they told Barcelona 1 month ago the player would not return to Camp Nou. Dodgy translation time now as Diaz says “I have no doubt that he will triumph. He will train with the first team and the idea is that he will play various games with them this season.”
Sol Campbell has requested a personal hearing to answer his charge of ‘violent conduct’ for the DumbandDumba incident in that game in Cardiff. This means that whatever happens he’ll be able to play against Man United at Old Trafford, where he will get sent off.
The YACCS man managed to get the ‘arses’ fixed for about 4 and a half minutes last night, then his server went Perry again and it’s unlikely to be back for at least 5 days. Now, I couldn’t leave you good people arseless, so I did what any good blogger would, I got someone to invent something to replace them. You can thank Tom for his tireless and slightly bloodshot eyed efforts.
To go to the new arses, click here and then on the arses link. It’s a little bit more work than usual, but it’s better than a slap in the belly with a wet fish.
You’ll notice this entry is a little bit earlier than usual. That’s because it’s nearly 2am here, I have to work tomorrow and I’ve been waiting up to get the arses fixed. Also, in the process of doing that I managed to fuck the home page up good and proper, so I’ve had to fix that too. So, instead of getting up in the morning and writing the day’s arseblog, I’m doing now. If anything happens you’ve got the new arses to discuss it on.
Zzzzzzzz. Till later.
