Season Kicks off.
So we kicked off against Barnet FC. To be honest, without any disrespect to the hosts, it was never going to be tough and so it proved when Arshavin opened the scoring just two minutes into the game. And then came more through Simpson. The good thing was Jack Wilshere was involved in much of the midfield play and was in the mix of things for all the three goals in the first half. The fourth came from Nasri who slotted home when a the defender missed a back-pass. The squad looked nice, but you can’t read much into it, Can you?
Notable Absentees
The major news from the game, was that neither Eduardo nor Almunia were anywhere near the ground. The boss said Almunia was ill and we do not have “A No-1” at the moment. Also, reports in Croatia suggest Eduardo is off to Shakhtar Donetsk for something around €7mill. I feel gutted for him, but till we have cunts like Shawcross/Taylor, such things will keep happening. Good Luck to him
Cesc Stays
The boss categorically stated that Cesc is going nowhere and he was very absolute when he said, we need to tell the world that we do not sell just for the sake that someone wants our players. I hope AW can make Cesc understand that his future is here.
But the cunts from Barcelona are not stopping, they still are trying to get him. Press reports Rosell will be in town on tuesday to make a last ditch effort. I hope he gets the door smashed into his face. In the meanwhile, Pep Guardiola thinks getting Cesc will cost a lot (isn’t that obvious).Anyways I will leave them to ponder.
I still feel that this is not yet over, there may be twists and turns.
Joe Cole to LFC
Today another transfer fire has been tamed with LFC announcing that Joe Cole has signed for them. I never wanted him, unless we were planning to sell Rosicky/Cesc/Arshavin. And I feel we have done a nice thing by not deciding to pay such high wages to a player who has a history of injuries. We don’t want another one, do we?
And the end bit
There are reports Robin Van Persie will wear no 10, as AW confirmed that Gallas and Silvester have left the club.
Also our young lad Tom Cruise scored the winning goal for England U-19 last night.
Up Gunners!
