Wednesday stuff… 14 May, 2008

Hello there, sorry I didn’t write anything yesterday, I literally had no time at all. There’s been no big news, don’t worry; just little bits and pieces. However, last night I went to the filming of The Cesc Fabregas Show in Wembley along with my two competition winners. It was basically a show about Cesc’ career and where he started etc. There was also a great interview with Wenger about the boy and appearances from Nicklas Bendtner, Mickey Thomas, Paul Merson, Phillippe Senderos, Chris Kamara and Paul Kaye. There were some mini-games too, A touch test with an amatuer footballer, an XBox match verses a lucky crowd member (Cesc won 3-0 wheyyyy) and a game at the end where Cesc had to head a ball between the guests and then head it through a hole. If he managed it, the crowd would all get next seasons shirt as the prize. Fabregas did it and was mobbed by the crowd, was pretty funny actually but they said they didn’t catch it on film! But yeah, I’ve got next season’s shirt in the post apparantly.

It was a really good night, and nice to be so close to such legends in such a relaxed atmosphere. It took fucking ages to record though and we were standing up the whole time. It was very uncomfortable and tiring, so much so that a lot of the crowd left before the end. I’ve never been to anything like that before and I really enjoyed it, it actually looks like it’s going to be a good show so I reccommend you tuning in next week. My two competition winners had a good time too, thanks to Gill and Adam for coming.

Right, on to the news. Wenger has been saying that this young team will be much better come August compared to the beginning of last season. A lot of our young players have a made a great improvment this season, especially Walcott and Bendtner, and remember Fabregas and Clichy etc are still young, despite them being one of our best players they are still improving. Wenger also aims for van Persie and Rosicky to control their injuries next term. He’s also been talking about how he believes ‘World Class’ Robin can have an injury-free season.

Le Boss has also updated us on Eduardo’s injury situation. He believes that physically, he’ll have no problem coming back as expected, but it’s the mental side of things Da Silva will have to concentrate on. How will Eddy feel the first time someone comes flying in with a tackle? Will he have the mental strenth to get on with it? Or, is he going to be a completely different player once he sees someone coming in for a tackle? Only time will tell.

That’s about it really for today, Almunia’s been telling us that all ‘keepers have to be a bit crazy and Arsene’s looking forward to our next cruical game, the Champions League Qualifier.

Right, I have to go get ready for job no.2. It not too bad though, at least I’ll get to watch the football there. Thanks for reading.
