‘Tis The Season To Be Jolly

... or in the case of Arsenal, it seems like it is The Season To Be Injured instead (apparently for ManUre too but what do I care about them). Let’s hope I’m not jinxing anyone else by listing those currently walking wounded. OK, here goes (deep breath): Djourou, Bendtner, Diaby, Clichy, RvP, Gibbs, Walcott, Dudú and Rosický. Gallas, Eboue, Traore and even Shava suffered knocks in the Stoke match but should hopefully be back in the shorter term. Our physio, Colin Lewin, certainly is earning his keep and is kept busy, busy, busy.

There didn’t look to be much rejoicing or jolliness as the lads went for the post-Stoke match Christmas party.













And we have
Tom Cruise landing a breakthrough role and being part of the 18-man Top Gun-ners in the Champions League match against Olympiakos this evening – and no, I’m not kidding - in what would be a Mission: Impossible match. For Arsène, there’s only one Tom Cruise and he plays for Arsenal.

Hmm, I wonder if perhaps Arsene should sign
Roman Pavlyuchenko instead.

‘Tis also the season to be packing and going on holidays! Yes, baby, it’s that time of the year again. The Europeans will be either heading for ski resorts, tropical islands or soaking up the sun in the new
hot destinations for 2010 (Malaysia included!!). Maybe I will share some tips on packing/travelling in style soon.
