Well, it’s almost end of July already; in a few days we’ll bid farewell to July and hello to August instead (what, already??)
And Sol Campbell bade Arsenal farewell to become a Magpie. I’m getting nervous now because it’s only two weeks from this weekend that the new Premier League season kicks off and we still are short of a defender and a new goalie. Scratch that, I’m actually getting desperate. Mertesacker? Marchetti? Bring them on!
Still on Arsenal, here and here are more training pictures. In their last pre-season match on Tuesday, Arsenal beat SC Neusiedl 4-0 with goals from Theo, JET, Chamakh (won and converted a penalty) and Vela. Manonne saved a penalty to keep Arsenal’s clean sheet. The new Arsenal boy Chamakh is in the August issue of the Arsenal magazine, go here, here, here and here for the article.
Daniel Taylor of the Guardian credits Arsenal for handling the Cesc affair with dignity/determination and refusing to be bullied. Cheers mate. Hey, we are classy after all, we just live with the worse-than-vuvuzela noise travelling on the airwaves from the Nou Camp – unpleasant as it may be - not at all like the loser Barcelona who are not only tasteless and classless but also morally bankrupt and financially penniless or Euro-less (and yet think they can afford Cesc? Dream on. OK, I know posting losses doesn’t mean they are bankrupt but continue doing so and they’ll be in big trouble).
Nothing much on the non-Arsenal front for me except that I’m hooked to the Korean drama My Fair Lady on TV8. Heh.
Have a good hot summer and long sunny afternoons everyone (at Highbury or not)!
