Lazy Sunday 8 June, 2008

I can’t remember the last Sunday where I was completely free from any sort of work and had the day to do whatever I want. So I’m going to go and play football seeing as the sun’s out for once.

Thought I’d better do a quick update though. There’s not a great deal going on today. I suppose the big news Arsenal-wise at the moment is that Aaron Ramsey has now met with Arsene Wenger. He flew out to Switzerland to meet with Le Boss this weekend after being with Man United this week. We will really see the kind of character this guy has by which club he chooses to go to this summer.

If it’s Everton, he proves that it’s not all about the money. If it’s Arsenal, then it shows he has ambition and belief to get into a top side where a position is available if he fights for it. Or if it’s Man United, it proves that he’s an utter cunt and shall rot in hell for his sins. It’s a big choice.

Here’s what Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale had to say after speaking to Aaron on Friday:

He told me he’d had a great day at United and was on his way to see Arsene. After that, the final decision is up to the boy. Aaron spoke to Sir Alex Ferguson before visiting United. He’s a sensible lad and will listen to what Arsene has to say.

To me, that sounds like he favours United, but this was before he met Arsene. As everyone knows, the decision is totally up to him. Hopefully we’ll find out something next week.

As I said, Arsene is currently in Switzerland, at Euro 2008, but he’s still been talking Arsenal and saying that he might only be at the club for another 3 years. His contract expires in 2011 and he says he has no idea what he’ll do after that. I remember when it was his 10th anniversary at Arsenal, he said he doubts that he’ll do another 10 years. That’s fair enough but it is worrying.

Everybody* loves Arsene and nobody* wants him to go but I think we all know that he won’t be around forever. He has still got 3 years left, at least. So lets see what happens in three years time, yeah? Ok.

Arsene’s been talking about Cesc.

And that’s about it. Have a good Sunday. I’ll leave you with this video I’ve been given, about William Gallas. Thanks for reading.

* There are some fans that dislike Wenger. They are a minority though and I really believe they should have a long think about what he’s done for this club.
