bring your boots
After the nil nil shenanigans at the Happy Hammers on
Saturday, The Arsenal have suffered another injury, this
time it's the Arsenal brazilian play maker Gilberto that
has a sick note. There's not a lot to write about regarding
the 'performance' against West Ham & in truth
The Arsenal were very lucky to come away with a point &
have Bobby Zamora to thank for that after he missed a complete
sitter with only minutes left on the clock.
Gilberto now joins a whole host of stars on the 'Darren'
(that's short for Darren Anderton as in treatment table).
The Invisible Wall will now miss the Euro tour to Amsterdam
in the Champions League game against Ajax. He joins Lord
Robin van Persie, mentalist Jens Lehmann (both banned),
Thierry Henry (groin) and Philippe Senderos (back) who
are definitely out. Possible comebacks are Dennis Bergkamp
and Bobby Pires but I wouldn't hold your breaths. It looks
like those traveling to Amsterdam might as well pack some
boots because with the amount of players with sick notes
you may get a game.
Double D in Henry love-in
Arsenal money man David Dein has said something we all
know and labeled Arsenal captain and all round Mr Nice
Guy Thierry Henry as 'priceless. The sun tanned one also
remains 'quietly confident that the jet heeled Frenchman
will remain at the club. In this exclusively gleaned report
Double said "Everyone would like a Thierry Henry in
their team. We've got him and intend to keep him. He is
a world-class player. We will do everything we can to make
sure he stays here until the end of his career. I
am quietly confident he will remain here."
Captain Titi who in just about every red top tabloid is
expected to leave The Arsenal has been linked to Barcelona
all season long (ok only six games in but what the hell).
However recently every other club and their dogg have been
reported to possibly making bids or in some cases not
(?) making bids for the Mr Nice Guy including Inter, Real
Madrid, Juventus, Hibs and TNS.
Fat Frank eyeing more than pies
Fat Frankie Lampard has got more to him than we give him
credit for, The Captain of The Bank of Chelsea has been
eyeing The Arsenal's 49 Premiership games unbeaten record
and we thought it was just pies the Fat One was eyeing
up. "If that record comes then
it'll be fantastic but there's a lot of hard games to come
between now and then. We'll just keep going and see how
we go," said Fatty whilst chewing on a steak and lard
pie in one hand and holding a Diet Coke in the other.
Don't Panic - Saint Wenger With The Arsenal lying seventh after six
games in the Premiership Arsene Wenger is refusing to panic
and has boldly told anyone who was a touch worried that
he will not commit suicide. The Boss said in this statement "Just
not having lost will help us in the next game. I
am not worried because I feel we will come back - if I
commit suicide, it will not change a lot. I feel that the
team at the moment has a great spirit and needs support.
There is quality in there. I know people will be harder
with us than we deserve, and that is why I am positive,
because I believe in this team."
Walking in an Arsenal Wunderland
 It's
win a t-shirt time again. After the last competition we
thought it would be rude not to give you boys and girls
the chance to win this gem.
Harderthansatan the uber cool t-shirt boys have produced
this new t-shirt in homage to Highbury. All you need to
do is answer this simple question. The new stadium is of
course named The Emirates Stadium, but if it was up to
you - what would you call it? Remember the funnier the
better.
Email us the usual address, you'll find it in 'contact

Competition ends 7 October.

Mickey Mouse Cup Draw, The Arsenal drew
northern monkeys Sunderland in the Mickey Mouse Cup in
the round when all the big boys are entered. The match
will be played at The Stadium of Light. Our North London
rivals, Barnet FC are are already out, as are
that Tottenham who will be at home watching Eastenders
over a nice cup of tea... Now there's
a Idea, Saint Wenger
wants a change in the way you get points in the league.
With most teams adopting The Bank of Chelsea's approach
by boring the opposition to sleep the Frenchman has an
idea "What could work is awarding points on the basis
of the difference between the goals you score and the goals
you concede, you could get an extra point if there is a
difference of three, like 3-0 or 5-2. That might encourage
teams to keep on attacking when they have the lead. There
would be an incentive." However Saint Wenger added "In
France some years ago we had a system where a team that
scored three got an extra point and it didn't really work,
it was wrong that you could lose a game 5-3 but get the
same reward as a 3-3 draw. The experiment was dropped..." So
that's that then...
....that's it for now, au reviour
mon amis... Keep it locked |
