I believe in miracles, you Cescy thing 29 March, 2009

I’m so sorry, couldn’t resist.

Cesc Fabregas has been talking to the media at the opening of his soccer school in Barcelona and he’s said he is still hoping we can win the league:

“I believe in miracles. It has happened before in football so why not this year? But it is going to be difficult. Right now we have to think about catching Chelsea and then we will think about the others.

But what we have to think about is winning the eight games we have remaining.”

I guess he’s not wrong. We’re currently 10 points behind Man Utd but Aston Villa has shown us recently how quickly a lead can be lost if confidence is lacking. United have just lost two on the bounce – a humiliating defeat to main rivals Liverpool and a shock 2-0 loss to Fulham. Next up they face Villa who aren’t in great form themselves but have shown they are a good side. So who knows? Miracles can happen and if we do everything we can to put the pressure on, you never know.

Cesc has also been praising new signing Arshavin. What a combination that’s going to be – Cesc Fabregas and Andrei Arshavin. Mouthwatering.

The News of the World has been trying to stir things up this weekend and there’s really nothing more to be said than this. Load of shit story not even worth me linking it to you. End of that.

Some of our stars were in action this weekend for their countries, Adebayor and van Persie both netted for their nations. Nicklas Bendtner was also involved but there’s bad news as he went off with a knee injury. It’s a shame because he’s had a decent run of games recently but with Adebayor now back I guess it’ll be a straight swap for the weekend. Arshavin played 90 minutes or Russia, as did Gallas and Sagna for France. There’s no more big news from our other players in action but if anything comes up I’ll fill you in.

Mark Randall has said he might have to leave Arsenal in order to gain first team football. He’s said that he would prefer a loan but I have a feeling with all the players we have at the moment Mark will have to wait a very long time before he becomes a regular in the Premier League or Champions League. We’ll have to wait see what happens to our reserve team captain, I would be surprised to see him not go on loan or move on completely next season.

Well that’s it for tonight. I’m back in London now for a couple of weeks and I’m already itching to see Arsenal next weekend. We’ll start to get some sort of idea on team news in the week.

See ya.
