We're Getting There...Slowly

Yes, I suppose it's two more days to Twente, and then another two to West Brom. God help me, it's seemed soooo long. Thank god there's the Olympics to tide me over these last few days.

Anyway, there really doesn't seem to be much about, except for confirmation that Abou Diaby is as much made of glass as some of Arse's usual suspects. Le Boss has said we're still short in midfield, and I wouldn't disagree with him right now. Diaby's going to be out for a month or so, and even when he comes back, I can't see him slotting in in place of Denilson. The Brazilian boy should grab his Flaminian chance and cast his name in stone on the starting line up. Good thing Samir Nasri's injury's nothing at all, so we can all continue to look forward to his EPL debut on Saturday.

Almunia has said a few things about Theo, and he seems to be absolutely spot on. Basically:

“He is one of the best players in the squad. The only thing he has to improve is an aspect of character. He’s a very lovely guy — maybe too lovely on the pitch. I keep saying to him he has to become more nasty. After this he will be one of the best players in the Premier League.”

How do yoy say: "Stop being a pussy!!" in Spanish? Yeah man. Theo should like grow a beard and start growling at fullbacks.

Away from London, there's all sorts of funny shit going on in Manchester - and I'm not talking about that shitty club in Red that keeps winning irrelevant trophies on penalties. Surprise surprise - but Chiang Mai-TRT United are beginning to see the problems with having a clueless rich man as boss. On one hand, it sure doesn't help with fan confidence to have an owner who's a fugitive. On the other, it also doesn't help to have your star manager threatening to quit even before the start of the season. But I simply have to say: serves you right, all of you. Losers expecting miracles with money deserve to fall into ruin.
