Paddy letting rip
Ex Arsenal captain, talisman and enigmatic midfield enforcer
(add more superlatives for flavour) Patrick Vieira cant
keep out the news at the moment and is having a pop at
everyone, he must have a book to sell.
The Old Lady playing midfield general who is doing the
rounds is of course trying to flog extra copies of his
autobiography which is imaginatively called: Vieira - My
autobiography. Papers/sites have picked out the best bits
of the book which include calling Ruud van Cheatingcoont
a cheat and pie eating, geriatric massage parlour 'madam'
worrying Wayne Rooney a diver, sounds more like a factual
book than an autobiography to us.
The big man also reveals he wanted to stay at The Arsenal
for life but sun tan drenched David 'Double D' Dein was
'neutral' about him, which led Paddy to think that 'it
was time to move on'. Anyhoo that is the best bits of the
book look out for fillers such as who Vieira's favourite
bands are and who is the biggest gambler on the away coach.
You could do worst than clicking this link and putting
more money in the millionaire players back burner: I'm
Paddy, please buy my book.
Another Real story
Fresh from no real news week due to the international
friendlies, sites/papers have picked up the 'Ashley Cole
to Real Madrid in the summer' saga again. Many papers/sites
see Mr Cheryl Tweedy as the rightful heir to the left back
crown of Roberto Carlos. The pop tart dating footballer
who signed an extension in the summer which many see as
just a sweetener for the Cole-gate debacle on the behalf
of The Arsenal money men. There's another eight months
until the summer, so this story will run and run - next.
On the subject of Cole leaving, young gun Gael Clichy
has claimed the Burberry wearing defender is still his
'Number one'.
In this exclusively gleaned report The French Under-21
international reveals: "Ashley Cole gives me advice. I
am eager to see him back from his injury, even if we play
at the same position - he is an important player."
"But it is also an opportunity to show we can be
good without him too. Ashley remains number one, and I
am still in a learning period - I have proved I can play
a little role.
"I have a lot of work to rejoin him, but my ambition
is to take his place one day.” And according to those
'in the know' that could be as early as next summer young
man.
No Mexican stand off
Shrewd Frenchman and José Money slagging off Arsenal coach
Saint Wenger seems to have pulled off another coup. The
wily Frenchman has got another OFTF - that's 'One for the
Future' people. Mexican side Chivas of Guadalajara have
confirmed that teenager Carlos Vela is on his way to The
Arsenal.
"It's official that Carlos Vela, the Under-17 world
champion, now belongs to Arsenal." said a statement
on the club's website. That's official then.

round-up in 60 seconds or less...
Bobby and The Old Lady: Bobby Pires has
revealed that he nearly followed Patrick Vieira (him again?)
out the door during the summer. The midfielder revealed
that Arsène
Wenger didn't want him to leave.
Bobby also reveals that he will sit down during the January
Sales to discuss his future before doing 'that' horsey
mouthy thing... Oh Fernando : Atletico
Madrid super star Fernando Torres has said he flattered
to be linked to The Arsenal. That comes days after the
club stated he wasn't for sale. There will of course be
a next installment when his agent will throw in his 2 pence
worth in just to make sure a couple more million goes on
the price tag in this game of cat and mouse... Midfielder
linkage: The Arsenal are 'allegedly' after St
Etienne's £10 million-rated midfielder Didier
Zokora. The midfield general is also wanted by northern
monkeys Manchester United... Tel
us something we don't know: Arsenal Kingpin and
all round Mr Nice Guy Thierry Henry has revealed that he
wont sit down to discuss his contract until the summer.
According to SlySports it's an exclusive, but as Big Tel
has said all season he wont discuss his future until the
end of the season, it isn't really news is it? Just SlySports
being a bit naughty and playing with your football emotions...
that's it for now... au reviour mon amis... Keep it locked.
