The top news today is all Cesc Fabregas related. This after some fresh quotes that have appeared in The Sun (you can see where this is going already can’t you) saying he is angry with Arsenal and we are ‘impotent’. It’s all been mistranslated to make it seem like he wants away from Arsenal. He said he is angry in the same way that we are ‘angry’ at not winning any trophies. It doesn’t mean he’s in a strop or anything he just saying he wants us to win stuff. And with the impotence thing, another poorly mistranslated sentence.

It really pisses me off all this shit about Cesc leaving every summer. After going through it summer after summer with all our top players I have learned just to ignore it because it’s all bollocks anyway. These Fabregas to Spain stories have been cropping up this summer too but I have just chosen not to report most of them on here.

Every so often the captain has to come out and release an ‘official statement’ declaring he’s staying. This must get so repetitive and frustrating to do and is pisses me off equally as much as it must do to Cesc Fabregas.

It’s happened again this afternoon, that Sun story spread and now there’s an official statement on Arsenal.com from Cesc saying he’s staying. It’s got all the usual stuff we’ve seen time and time again but this time with a bit more emphasis:

“I’m not sure how many times I need to talk directly about my commitment to Arsenal as I continue to say the same thing over and over again, but it appears that every time I have spoken to the Spanish media recently, my words have bounced back to England, leaving question marks about my future.

So, for anyone who is unclear or may have misunderstood what my position is, let me make myself absolutely crystal clear. I am wholeheartedly committed to Arsenal and my future lies with this great Club.”

What that says to me is – Stop talking to the Spanish press then! That’s a bit harsh though, it’s the English press that pick up a bit of Spanish transcript and translate it whatever way they want. Not saying the papers in Spain are all good and innocent, they do try to get things to slip out. In another part of that interview The Sun picked up on they asked the question if Cesc’s family would support him if he wanted to move to Real Madrid. Cesc gave the usual stuff any son of a proud family would give about ‘my family will support any decision I make etc.’ So the papers have taken that and that means Cesc’s off to Real apparently.

He was in action last night with Spain as they got knocked out of the Confederations Cup by USA. It was a massive shock and Spain’s incredible winning streak has been broken by the complete underdogs. So Cesc is still out in South Africa at the moment, whether those quotes on Arsenal.com were done by Cesc on the other side of the world or they were ghost written I don’t know but the message is the same.

I need to change the subject now, it’s pissing me off. I’m just ranting, I don’t really know where I’m going with this. Hopefully that is that for one summer but would it surprise you that once this is forgotten about it all starts up again? I bet for players they must sometimes think ‘oh for fucks sake I bloody will move then so you just shut up.’

AC Milan have said they are looking for a striker but their main target is Dzeko, if they can’t get him then they’ll go for Adebayor. Haha, how does it feel to be 2nd best? Not so big now are you, maybe if you put some effort in you might be their no.1 target.

The Felipe Melo story has been cooled today, his spokesman has said how happy he is in Italy and has no desire to move. Doesn’t sound very good if we are actually interested in signing him.

I’m going to go now, writing this has somehow made me angry! The new away kit came out today, I was going to go down the shops and try it on but… I dunno, I didn’t. I think it’s alright but I know a lot of people hate it, I’ll have a look at some point this weekend.
Right then, I’m off to vent my rage somewhere. Thanks for reading.
