My left foot
As every Gooner knows, unless they've been staying in
Wales or living in a Buddhist compound in the Tibetan mountains,
we have have no left backs available. Real Madrid bound
(depending on which paper/site you subscribe to) Ashley
Cole is out until December and just as he was set to get
a run in the team Gael Clichy has gone and handed in a
sick note as well. The young Frenchman ironically sustained
the injury during France's U21 World Cup qualifier game
against England.
It still isn't known how bad the injury is, however a
fractured foot seems to be the general consensus. It hasn't
been revealed as yet how wily Frenchman Arsène
Wenger will tinker with his squad,
although there are nearly as many permutations as Roman
has billions. This includes moving 'Ralph' Lauren or Kolo
Touré to the
left or even having Highbury folk hero Pascal Cygan fill
the void, perish the thought. Or just to throw another
name into the mix, the possibility of using Seb Larsson.
The young Swede has played at left back and out of position
into the bargain for the reserves could possibly get a
look in, anyhoo your guess is as good as ours.
Reyes in ' Thierry stay shocker'
With not much news worthy stories doing the rounds, again
the media pick up on the fact that Thierry Henry doesn't
want to discuss his future until the summer. The Arsenal
captain and all round Mr Nice Guy, although that could
change to judas if he decides to 'do one' recently repeated
his decision not to sign or discuss his future until the
season is over.
Young Spanish international José Antonio Reyes has revealed
there is concern in the Highbury dressing room that the
'Va va voom one' hasn't committed his future to the club.
He revealed in this exclusively gleaned report: "It's
not just me - the entire team is encouraging him to sign
a new deal with the club. We'd like him to stay. He's a
massively important player for us. But no one can do anything
about it - it's his decision."
The fleet footed gypsy revealed that playing
alongside King Henry was a major factor in his extending
his contract: "I've
signed until 2011, six more years. That's
a very, very important commitment for me and for the club.
Playing alongside a great player was a big factor in my
decision to stick with Arsenal."
With this saga possibly having another eight months to
run be sure to see many other Arsenal players adding their
little sound bite.
Even Ruud boy has his say
Not only Arsenal players are having they say about Barcelona
bound goal king Thierry Henry. The former most expensive
player in the world, Alan Shearer dropping and ex dreadlock
guitar rocking Dutch leg-end Ruud Gullit has also added
his two pence worth. We're Not quite sure why the ex AC
Milan player has got a sound bite or why his comments have
been made 'news worthy' - slow week is our guess. The 1988
Dutch tight shorts wearing European Championship winning
captain is quoted, again in this exclusively gleaned report:
"I don't know, maybe he is going abroad. It's just a feeling
[maybe] he wants to see as a player, travel around, see
what it is to play in another league."
If you have an opinion
or want to share your comments on the Barcelona bound
player and you don't want Ruud Gullit to hug the 'headlines'
please click this link: I
reckon Thierry Henry will... Remember to leave your
name and remember there's no prizes, it's just for fun.
Is it on? Oh yes it is - oh no it's not
Pantomime season has come early, oh yes it has. Hot on
the trail of The Arsenal coach Saint Wenger saying the
Premiership race is still on after The Bank of Chelsea's
famous loss to Our Friends in the North, that would be
Manchester United folks (fetch that soap and wash your
mouth our now) José Mourinho has spoken (again!). The Portugeezer,
megalomaniac and collector of newspaper clippings José
Money has said no the race is definitely over.
The nauseating
motor mouth, no class having and voyeur calling coach has
said: "There
is no shame in defeat because we were champions last season,
we are league leaders at the moment and we will be champions
again for the second year running. I am with my players.
I am not afraid of the future. We have more money than
you underlings, we will buy our way to success, muhahahahaha"*

Ging gang Ghaly: Feyenoord's Egyptian
star Hossam Ghaly has revealed two big London clubs are
after his services. It's no secret that Saint Wenger
is in the hunt for him, however stories linking Tottenham
with him are wide of the mark as we all know those N17
boys aren't even close to being a big club... that's it
for now... au reviour mon amis... Keep it locked.
