The Germans Are Back!

First, there’s some ridiculous news that Roma are eyeing Gael Clichy. Utter bollocks. First, every club in the world must be eyeing Clichy, so who cares. Second, and I’m putting my neck on the line here, if there’s one player I’m really confident in his loyalty, it’s Clichy. Third, no way in hell is Le Boss going to let him go for all the gold in the world. Stupid idiots reporting this should just kill themselves.

Besides the talk that the Samir Nasri saga is coming to an end (ie he’s going through his medicals today), there’s some new(er) stuff about us and Andrei Arshavin. Now, I actually think Arshavin isn’t really new news, since that has been bandied about before. Suppose the only reason it’s suddenly becoming news is because of his performance against the useless Swedes. But I must say 10 million quid is not a bad buy at all.

But for suggestions that he could be replacement for Ade. Er, I don’t think so.

Not much else newsworthy on the Arse front, so it’s more on the German win over Portugal. Heh heh. That was sweet. It’s funny how the news on that is that the Germans have “upset” the tournament favourites. Well, that’s not quite good is it? First, after the Germans’ walk in the park against the Poles, everyone was raving. Then, the Germans had a bad bad game against the Croats, and everyone was all doom and gloom.

Similarly, everyone was ALL HAIL the Portugese following their first two wins. But if you asked me, that stupid loss against the Swiss was basically writing on the wall stuff. I couldn’t be happier. Bloody cocky Portugese, most of all Ronaldo, and so too that twit Scolari who went about announcing his Chelski deal after the first two wins. Serves you right, you bunch of a-holes.

So the Germans are back in favour. And the way this works, I won’t bet against them making the final. To meet them there? The Italians, possibly. That would be a laugh, and would mean another spectacular fall from grace from the Spaniards – which would pain me more than the Portugese collapse.

Tonight’s quarter is probably going to be least interesting of them all. It’s a toss up I tell you. Wouldn’t mind the Turks, just for the romance of an underdog. What I’m most looking forward to is the Dutch game against the Russians. The Dutch to win a cracker is my bet. The key diff between the Dutch and Portugese is that the Dutch rested their dead rubber, but still won comfortably. Scolari was a twit and lost momentum. I’d like to see more of this underachieving at Stamford Bridge, please.
