Midweek roundup 19 March, 2008

Hello again. How are we? Marvellous, good to see you. There isn’t any that interesting going on this week but there are quite a few little stories around so I’ll just right into it.

Firstly, a couple o our wide players have been linked with high profile moves away. I bet you all jumped off your seats earlier this week when you saw the headline – Barcelona interested in Eboue. It’s an incredible rumour, on so many levels. If it were to somehow go through then I’d feel quite relieved that he’s gone but at the same time I’d be rather confused as to what Barca are interested in him for…

One more worrying rumour though I saw today was that Hleb has been linked with a move to Inter Milan. The night before the AC Milan game he and his agent left the team hotel and it has been suggested that they went to meet representatives from Inter. Arsene was not happy about this one bit and we’ve been told he’s a bit pissed off about this.

However, they apparently just ‘went for an ice-cream’. You what? That is fucking mental. Some excuse ay? Of all of the things they could’ve said. Heh. Anyway, Inter have denied meeting Hleb and have also said that they’ve received no complaint of ‘tapping-up’ from Arsene. I’m not really too worried by these stories at the moment but if Alex does go to Inter Milan in the summer transfer window then you have to ask…what sort of ice cream was it then?

In other news, Robin van Persie says we have to win something this season. It would be a disaster to come away from this great season with nothing. If that did happen then we would’ve thrown the title away, no question about that. The Champions League is going to take some work but we’ve got a good chance. Robin says that we’ve played such good football that we deserve something. Well maybe if we stopped fucking drawing we could. We’re just going to have to sit back and watch but if we don’t win anything this year it’s going to be one very shit summer.

Gael Clichy’s looking forward to the Liverpool games but admits he would’ve rather had a foreign team in the quarter finals. It does kind of ruin the competition a bit when you draw someone from your own league; maybe the teams should still be seeded at this round? Who knows? However it’s just our fault that the Premier League is so strong these days. In England we have 4 really good teams, in Italy and Spain it’s only really about 2.

Liverpool always seem to play better in the Champions League but because we are English opposition you have to think whether they’ll play just like they do in the Premiership? I think they’ll still play with that Champions League attitude but I’m still not bothered than that. I’ve got no doubt in my mind that we are a better team than Liverpool and we can beat them if we play to our potential.

That’s about it/can be arsed to write tonight. Sorry I haven’t been very active with the updates this week, there are a number of reasons for that but I wont bore you. Tonight Man United are playing their game in hand against Bolton, they’re currently 2-0 up and it’s nearly half time so you have to think they’ll win there, no surprise. Chelsea are also playing Spurs tonight, I think it’s 2-1 to the Blues at the moment. Come on Tottenham you useless fucking twats.

Right I’m off. Going to design you a new header for the blog I think. Yeah why not, check back a bit later to have a look. See ya.
