Nothing today? Really?

A quiet day ahead of an inconsequential one for us tomorrow. It looks like Le Boss will give the young ‘uns a run out. Well and good. Sunderland will be out for a little meaningless amble in the park too, so it looks like we’re in for a thrilling final day. If need be, I suppose there are the other more important games going on at the top and bottom.

Looks like Ade has rubbished the rubbish going on about him. Good one. Now let’s get on with it. It’s interesting though…with all the talk of people leaving, an exodus, the collapse of the team, blah blah blah, what’s actually missing from the usual summer nonsense is talk of Wenger leaving. We seemed to have that every other season since 2004, so it’s nice and refreshing to see him flexing his muscles and squeezing Hleb’s b*lls for a change. I suppose it’s also proof that the media can’t really concentrate on too many hot issues at the same time.

Jermaine (I-love-my-vibrating-cell-phone) Jenas seems to be suffering from the effects of over-exposure to cell phone radiation:

"We can definitely overtake Arsenal next year. We always want to climb and get as high as we can in the table, so hopefully if we can keep progressing we can top them.

“If you look at the players that we’ve got we know full well that we’ve under-achieved in the league this season."

Alright now, let’s get this straight. Spurs have under-achieved, will under-achieve, and will forever under-achieve. I suppose with their new manager, the levels of under-achievement will be slightly less shocking to most, but they’ll still under-achieve. (The Carling Cup being evidence of Ramos’ contributions). With the players they have, there’s no way in hell they should fall short of teams like Pompey, Blackburn, West Ham…but they have, and probably will next season as well.

Looks like poor Rosicky (and I suppose it really should be pronounced Ro-SICK-y) will miss EURO 2008. About time he goes for his major body transplant, so let’s hope he comes back next season about half a foot taller, faster, and with massive bull legs.

Finally, there’s a smattering of news just filtering in that we’ve signed Hatem Ben Arfa for £16 million. Let’s see what happens over the next day. We know how these things work, and it could be little more than some idiot farting the words Hatem and Arsenal at the same time, only to be heard and quoted by goal.com.
