Touched by the hand of God

Well well well. News coming from Brazil, where I suppose the water must be treated with miracle additives as well as fluoride, is that Eduardo could be back for the start of the season. Earlier prognoses had been that he could be out till around September or even a year, but this is incredible. Even if he does start playing in July, methinks he'll probably take a couple of months to get back in premiership shape. But regardless, it's still way ahead of schedule. Which reminds me of other miraculous recoveries from injuries - Captain Fantastic sound familiar? In the case of Eduardo, there's at least photographic evidence of how horrific the injuries were. In Cap's case, it was more cases of manic media going on about extents of his injuries, followed by revelations of incredible recoveries. haha! Shit, looks like Eduardo takes as long to recover from his broken leg and ankle than RVP does from a runny nose.

Other cock news (or should I say coque) on a slow series of days has Le Boss being linked with an eventual move to PSG. Using a rather tenuous and spurious series of unfortunate events, Arsene has been touted to leave Arse in 2011 to be President at PSG. I really don't see the point in such stories. If he hasn't signed a new contract by December 2010, then I'd start worrying. In the meantime, we should stop speculating about random events like Le Boss going to a strip joint in the 14th arrondisement. Journalists must really be sitting on their thumbs, if they're writing detective novels on Arsene's future.

In any case, he won't not be manager forever, and us Arse fans better start getting used to it, as improbable as that may sound. In this day and age, he's already given us more than our fair share. And who knows, with Bergkamp shaping up his managerial credentials, we're in for more exciting times, I'm sure.

A few RVP-related snippets: first van Basten's a little peeved that Le Boss rushed RVP back from injury. FO I say. He would have done the same, as would have every other frustrated manager, facing a frustrated team, and a frustrated player. It's not our fault he got inured playing for Holland in the first place! Sanctimonious hypocrite. RVP has also revealed that he's been sharing secrets with Beckham. (You gotta love the photo of Cesc in this story!) Ooooh. Beware everyone. Maybe he's also been sharing a few too many injury tips. But in all seriousness, right now, RVP's left at free kicks is nearly as good as Beckham's right. Let's see how it develops, if his leg doesn't drop off from a thigh injury first.
