Breaking News!!

Just about everyone's getting really excited about what Cesc is supposed to have said: that we're out of running for the league. Case in point is here. It's remarkable how it's worthy news. If you consider what he actually said...

"It's not realistic to look at the league title now. You can never say never but we would not be intelligent to be looking right to the top of the league."

...you'd see that he's saying you'd be "not intelligent", i.e. stupid to be thinking of winning the league. Which is as self-evident as anything I've seen in a long time. So yes, let's just focus on just overhauling Aston Villa, which is such a depressing thought.

Some more amusing news is the excitement also over some comments made by Salomon Kalou. These are his supposed words:

''Wenger said he thought of signing me? That's an honour for me, an honour.''

''He is a very great coach and I know that every single player in the world dreams of playing for him. I have a lot of respect for him, he is one of the best coaches in the world so why not?"

''I am still under contract with Chelsea but of course I have plenty of friends who play for Arsenal in Kolo, Eboue (???) and Ade. They are achieving huge things at Arsenal and watching them play is just beautiful.''

So again, this is being seen as something to get Chelski all worried, but let's get real. This has come out of the blue, months from the summer, so who cares. Absolutely rubbish.

The news from the treatment room is that Diaby the Man of Glass is injured yet again. This is getting to comical proportions. So comical it's not even funny - even unfunnier given that this just means more of Denilson and Song this weekend. Speaking of Denilson and Song, not sure what Cesc has been watching, but he kinda fancies the pairing:

"I’ve played with both of them, of course, and I can say they work really hard, they always give their best and are very honest players."

"At Arsenal there's a lot of pressure because we are a big club but from my perspective, and from outside, I think they are doing well."

Some people are better at reading between the lines than others, so let me translate this:

"work really hard", "give their best", "honest" = nice guys but really quite crap, especially the Song half.

Nothing much else happening, so we'll just to have till Saturday.
