Ok, I jinxed it…

I knew I spoke too soon! Sky Sports have confirmed that RVP has a groin injury and is returning to Blighty, it was almost too good to be true. Fingers crossed that it’s not too serious and he’s ok for the weekend and the vital period following it.

In other news Hull have submitted their account of “Gobgate” to the FA. Woo! Apparently they “Want the truth to come out.” After hearing 6535416346846 different versions of events from their manager so would we!

Finally Stan “The Man” Kronke has increased his stake in the club, purchasing 5000 shares from Danny Fiszman, giving him a 20.5% shareholding in the club. Fiszman, who now has just over 16% after the sale, insists that he’s not selling any more shares. I suppose that given the fact that Kronke is on the board already the move doesn’t suggest radical change at Arsenal, and keeps shares out of the hands of the Uzbek and in the hands of another friendly director. But its now all eyes on Lady Nina and Jabba.

Busy day today so that's your lot. F**k you International football, f**k you!

Happy Monday!

Well, that’s a lie, but it’s not an unhappy Monday. The sun is shining, I feel better than yesterday when I spent the day sweating out Desperados beer. Mmmm, tequila beer.

Erm, news from the weekend. Bendtner got injured playing for Denmark, apparently its his knee and he’s returned to the club but no further news. RVP scored for the Dutch against Scotland, a well taken header (I think, was pretty hammered by this point on Saturday!) and isn’t injured, so far…….f**k, I’ve jinxed that now havent I! And 22 people were crushed to death in Kolo and Eboue’s game for the Ivory Coast. Seems to be a case of too many people in a decrepit stadium which has resulted in a tragic waste of life.

In other news Hull’s “evidence” is due at the FA today, I’m hoping that Arsenal have the lawyers on standby should they fail to meet the deadline (again), although the Fa will probably give them another week to grow more witnesses, a-la the Judge Dredd Movie or the baby Raptors in Jurassic Park.

Hull’s evidence reaches Soho Square

Speaking of Cesc he’s announced he’ll make his return on Saturday at home to Citeh, no doubt as a substitute.

I wonder who else will survive international week to join him!

Have a good one.

Kill me…….

If the International football over yet? Whaddya mean it hasn’t even started yet? Oh, for f**ks sake……

Very little news, the Sun reports that Hull are going to use the case of Doncaster midfielder Richie Wellens, who was charged for spitting at a Swansea player despite no witnesses. Not entirely sure how that works, but it’s the FA so I can believe it. They’ve also changed their story for the 1984369546th time, and apparently ALL the Hull coaching staff now saw Cesc spit on/at/near/above/inside (delete where applicable) Horton, so I’m not sure how they can cite the Wellens case when they ALL saw it!

I f**ked Lucy Pinder alone in my room, no witnesses, so it must be true!

Pinder – Her word against mine!

Saying that though the fact the FA haven’t let it drop/laughed in Hull’s faces probably means that Cesc will end up getting done regardless of any evidence/proof/logic/Pinder and we’ll probably get 80 points deducted for good measure. Not that I have no faith in our Football Association, no siree!

I really wish there was something else to write about rather than this utter farce, but there isn’t, other than Almunia maybe applying for his British passport so he can maybe play for Ingeeeerlund, and Milan maybe making a move for Adebayor in the summer, to the tune of £35mil. I’d rip their hands off if true!

Please Hull, f**k off back down the leagues.

Have a good weekend.

International breaks = pain

Bored bored bored. Seriously, what’s the point of cheering players that you want to die the majority of the season?

A bit of Arsenal news today. Apparently Adebayor will play “some part” in Togo’s World Cup qualifier vs Cameroon. Suppose it helps with the fitness.

Amaury Bischoff's agent claims a couple of clubs are interested in the midfielder as his contract is up in the summer, so usual agent trying to force the club’s hand, although pretty disrespectful to the Arsenal medical team that have got him back to fitness. Like giving someone a turd as a thank you present. No really, you shouldn’t have!

And OJ Gimpson is flapping his gums again, insisting that “the truth will come out” over Gobgate. Hull missed yesterday’s FA-set deadline to provide evidence and have been given an extension until Monday to fabricate collate it. Apparently this is because Horton and the players that saw the “incident” are away on international duty (not Horton, he was last seen popping into a tanning salon to try to catch up with Gimpson). Now, not being funny, but how many of the Hull players are full internationals? Giovanni and Kilbane are the only ones I can think of, makes witnesses rather limited. And I’ve got to ask the question, why the hell didn’t they get statements from the players in the week before they went away, when the “incident” was fresh in their minds? I still think that if this comes to the conclusion we expect it to then Arsenal and Fabregas should unleash the lawyers on Son of Sam, they’ve got a stronger case against him for libel and defamation that he has over Gobgate.

Anyway, I’ve got work to do. Enjoy the rain!

Got my ticket, have you?

Just looking at a picture of it gives me a semi!

Yes, we got lucky! Thanks to my uncle for putting in the work we got our semi final tickets yesterday, so it’s a big knees up on April 18th when hopefully we’ll book a return trip in May.

Arsenal news is thin on the ground, thinner than my old man’s hair. Adebayor has been selected for Togo after 6 weeks out but won’t play apparently. I suppose anything that’ll improve his fitness, like when Eduardo was called up by Croatia before playing for us again, is a good thing. 15 other Gunners have also been called up, I doubt they’ll all return in once piece (f**king international breaks).

Silvestre is now fit and raring to go. Don’t all go getting excited at once.

Villarreal are charging a whopping £72 for a ticket for the CL quarter final first leg at El Madrigal. Good thing there isn’t a credit crunch on. You what? Oh…….

Arseblog linked this too, made me chuckle.

That’s pretty much for today. Christ knows what I’m going to write about between now and next Friday. You might be getting updates on my Chilli plants at this rate. Yeah, you’ve been warned!

Adios!

Back!

Back from Norfolk, had a good time but now, super busy at work, so super quick post.

I’m happy with the CL draw, delighted with the 3-1 win at Newcastle and I’m preying to God/Allah and Keith Moon I get a cup semi ticket.

Will update you later this week, it’s not like we’ve got any proper football for a week or so is it!

 

Good times!

Enough, Phil Brown!

Super short blog today as I’m snowed under.

Phil Brown has metamorphosed from a respectable up-and-coming manager into an uber-c**t with verbal diarrhea. Arseblog covers his unstoppable attempt to destroy his reputation, and I hope, his career. Like I said yesterday spitting is the lowest of the low and if Cesc is guilty then they should throw the book. Thing is the more the Son of Sam talks (and that’s a lot at the moment) the more he changes his account of proceedings, from being told by his assistant that it happened on the pitch, to seeing it with his very own eyes in the tunnel. And the more he changes his account the more it seems the story is fabricated, the fantasy of a sore loser, and isn’t helped by his other claims, such as the “Arsene never shakes my hand” (blown out of the water by Arseblog and other blogs) to the ludicrous “I had issues with Fabregas’s clothes”. If it is proved that he’s telling porkies then I hope that not only the FA take severe actions, but also Arsenal and Fabregas on grounds of libel.

It’s a big hole that OJ Gimpson has dug himself, and he keeps making it deeper.

Ok, I’m away as of tomorrow morning, long weekend away exploring the Norfolk Broads, so won’t be blogging till Tuesday, although it’s not like anyone will notice!

So for Newcastle, I haven’t seen any injury news following the Hull game, so expect a similar squad, hopefully boosted by a returning Eduardo. Fingers crossed we play more like the second half from Tuesday than the first!

Oh, one final thing, well done to Steve Bould’s Young Guns following their own come-from-behind win last night in the FA Youth Cup semi first leg. Two goals in the last 20 minutes saw them beat Manchester City 2-1. Well done lads!

Right, enjoy the sun, speak next week, Allez Arsenal!
