Morning all,
Many apologies for the lack of posts, been stuck at Heathrow for a day before my flight left! But after a nice(ish) thirteen hour flight, I'm in Singapore and ready to carry on...
So... First off something to create a bit of Christmas cheer. Mario Balotelli won the Golden Boy trophy and in his acceptance speech claimed he didn't know who Jack Wilshere was. Balotelli claims he is the bast footballer on the planet except for Lionel Messi. Judging on Mario's performances for City recently if he really is the best young player about world football's going to be very boring and sh*t for the next decade. I mean really now, seriously folks, has anyone seen a more pathetic recipient of a footballing award recently? With the exception of Qatar winning the right to host the 2022 World Cup that is.
Well it'll be interesting to keep tabs on young Jack for next years award. If he continues developing at the pace he has hopefully he'll be able to stuff the World Player award down Mario's throat in a few years.
Chamakh has said he wants to become a club icon for Arsenal, like Drogba for Chelski or Rooney at Manure. With ten goals already this season I think we all share Maroune's hope. Fabregas will eventually go to Barca at some point in the future and with RVP never able to play more than fifteen games a season we need someone to become an icon for us! He's settling in well now, having hired some Moroccan chefs to cook for him and also the fact that he's a Muslim means that at least we should never have to suffer the embarrassment of seeing the lad stumbling out of a London nightclub drunk as a skunk, a la Ledley King at Sp*rs or Rooney at Manure.
Vermaelen is out for at least another month according to Wenger. We miss TV5 so much in the centre of our defence it now has to be a certainty that Arsene will look to bring in another defender come January. The problem is though Arsene will most probably look to bring in another 17 year old French boy with West African heritage... Please Wenger! All we want for Christmas is one start defender!
On better news Gibbs will apparently be back within a couple of weeks. With Clichy now never looking like he will become the world-class left back we all had hoped for, hopefully Gibbs return will put more pressure on Gael to perform.
The fat Russian (well technically he's an Uzbekistanian...) Uzmanov, is looking to take his share holdings up to the 29.9% limit. Whilst I would hate to see the Arsenal fall into his hands at least I would be able to keep flogging that old joke from Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking barrels, so all is not lost if he does take us over.
At least Arsene has admitted now that he may bring in a new face or two in January. Like I've said before, we desperately need more cover at centreback. Arsene said:
"...the problem is people want me to develop young players. They want me to develop Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs, Theo Walcott and to also buy players. But the two do not go well together."
Arsene, old son, your missing the point here. YES we want you to develop players, but none of those you have mentioned is a central defender or goalkeeper. Develop all you want with the rest of the squad but for f*cks sake GET SOMEONE TO HELP US OUT IN DEFENCE. 'Nuff said.
Well I'll leave it there for now as jet-lag is rapidly turning my ability to type to mush. Remeber people (to rip off Special 1 TV), Be Champions!
The Afterthought
