Not much about not much

The first big Arse news (yes, really big!) is that our shirt numbers are out for next season. Nothing really earth shattering. Except for Almunia taking over #1, Carlos Vela taking #12 and Ramsey taking #16. Well, he was two shy of #14. But looks like that shirt has been retired. And strangely enough, so has #8 for now. Don't see what the big deal about #8 is though - unless of course, it's being held aside for Samir Nasir, or Andrei Arshavin, or Roque Santa Cruz, or Le Boss when he feels like it.

Speaking of Nasri, the yes, no, yes, no, yes, not yet, yes soon affair continues. His agent has now come out to refute what Nasri has supposedly said on his own website - that he has signed. I had a check of his website just to see. It's funny he has it, but it's kinda crap to navigate. And needless to say, I found nothing to suggest him saying, je suis tellement heureux de jouer pour un grand club comme Arsenal!!! For those who have nothing better to do, like me, his site officiel est ici: http://www.samirnasri.fr/

So for lack of anything else better to do, thought it'd be good to go on a little bit more on Cesc's heroics. Some brilliants quotes:

"I haven't taken a penalty in a game since I was 15 – I'm telling the truth. When I walked up
to the ball I just told myself 'You have to prove that you deserve to be here. They have shown confidence in you and now you have to give it back'."

The rest of a nice story is here, but this boy needs a job as someone's spin-meister!

Much as I hate to, I need to say something about the stupid Ade saga. First, we have AC Milan for the umpteenth time coming out and saying that it's Ade or nobody else for them, that much as they would like to, they can't move because Arse are sticking to their guns (no pun intended), etc etc etc. What I also hear between the lines is that Le Boss is making Ade staying against his will, and that so long as the club doesn't want to move, nothing happens. What happened to nothing wil happen if the PLAYER doesn't want to move? It looks to me crystal clear that he wants out.

Which then makes it fabulously odd that the official Arse website is celebrating Adebayor Week. I mean, is that daft or what? I'll reserve judgement on Arsely Hole being number 20-something in our Top 50 players (since it's the voice of the fans), but this...c'mon, is stupid timing. Good thing they shelved their drafts for Flamini week too, otherwise, who knows, we could have it next week.

Enough of that. Y'know, the semis are upon us, and it's Germany - Turkey (borrr-ing) and Spain - Russia (wow!). The Arsewiper thinks: Germany to squeak past 1-0, and Spain-Russia to be level after 90 minutes. Who knows what happens after that.

And then the Germans will win, and everybody will go, "huh??? What happened?"
