Morning all, a busy day was had yesterday and so far it appears that most of our stuff has arrived without any breakages. Some delicates are still to be unpacked but we’re 100% home tonight.
Tonight we take on that pesky Hamburglar but we’ll be without Thierry Henry who picked up a knee injury playing for France last week. He got an injection to play at the weekend against Boro but he’s obviously being saved for Sunday’s game against United. The boss isn’t too worried about it though as he feels the young players have more experience now and we’ve added some ready made experience in Gallas and Baptista.
He says we need more patience and to find the right balance between attack and defence. Well, to be fair the balance between attack and defence has been stacked in our favour in our three league games this season it’s just that we can’t score and seem to concede bad goals. So my point is .. erm .. we need to score more goals than them. Hurrah! A career as a TV pundit awaits.
I fancy us to get the three points tonight and I’m very interested to see what kind of team the boss picks. Could Walcott start? Will Adebayor play up front with van Persie or will Baptista get a run out there? Surely Rosicky will start ahead of Ljungberg. It should be fun.
Jens Lehmann returns home and he’s not worried about making a new clean sheets record, only that we win the game.
Good news about Cesc yesterday as it was revealed he’s on the verge of signing a new 8 year deal with the club. Arsene Wenger said:
It is a reward for us because we brought him over at 16 years of age. It is a wonderful commitment from him.
While Cesc said:
Everything in my new contract is agreed and I will sign it next week. Seeing how much Arsenal have helped me to improve as a player shows how pleased they are with my progression. It gives me the confidence to continue under Arsene Wenger, who is one of the most important people I have come across in my career.
Really fantastic news and you’d have to suggest anyone who might write him off as a featherweight is a clueless cunt. His best years are certainly ahead of him and it’s fantastic that they’re going to be at Arsenal.
Finally, if any Dublin Arsebloggers fancy a pint tonight there’ll be a group of us going to watch the match in the Westmoreland, which I can only assume is on Westmoreland Street.
See you there, maybe. Until tomorrow’s exciting and always on-air Arseblog (more than 850,000 unique visitors this year and still broadcasting without interruption!).
