Anyway, Ms Arsewiping friend reasons that it's just the damn Spanish media - not the Barca players, they'd said nothing. Mmmm...well, looks like God has since spoken:
"Cesc has a place for Arsenal in his heart, but he has Barcelona in his blood. He will want to win the biggest prizes in football, and I expect him to do that at Barcelona."
"I don't exactly know when that will be, but I expect him to be my Barcelona team-mate again at some point. When you grow up at a club, it is more than just a club. The coaches, the players, the people in the club will be like family."
"But Barcelona is his city and it is the club of him and his family. There are only a few players in the world who can improve this squad we have, but Cesc is one of them."
Well, I suppose given the praise and worship that have been showered on (I won't mention his name) in the past couple of weeks, who am I to disagree? God forbid I disagree with or defame the words of God. Arse in the beart, Barca in the blood, kidneys, liver, bladder, bowels...
Since we're talking God and all, methinks a certain reckoning will one day come. Not now, maybe not soon, but some time, the reckoning will no doubt come.
For good and bad, Wenger has uncharacteristically also come out and spoken about the whole thing as well. I ain't gonna repeat what was said, so you can go find it just about everywhere on the net.
It just kills me. This whole mythical Barcelona shit. Mythical place, mythical team, mythical players, mythical every-damn-thing. The deity with no name speaks of it like's he from the same damn Garden of Eden, when he's Argentinian. Anyways, I'll hold my tongue for now and wait for the reckoning. It may just come as early as June, in South Africa.
As for the real issue at hand - whether Cesc will leave - I've said this before - let's take it as a given. Fine. He's key to Arsenal, he's been great for Arsenal, and if he has to heed the calling, then fine. Whatever he has been, or will be, he is not Arsenal. And we will get by very well, thank you very much. And if he has to go, might as well be this summer. I don't think I could take anymore of this shit.
[UPDATE: Peter Hill-Wood has now reportedly said that Bartha have given us their assurances that they will not be targetting Cesc...this summer. Well, pardon my Latin, but thank you very much, you bunch of #$&!^%$'s. The ultimate in demeaning. So now we're supposed to be grateful? That they have deigned to refrain this summer? As I'd said, they want him that bad, let's just do it. Now. And at the most obscene price conceivable. It's unfortunate that despite the fact that Cesc has made his intentions clear in the past, what's really needed now too is a word or two. From our captain of all people.]
This summer will be house-cleaning time anyways. Central defence will be cleaned out with the likes of Gallas and Silvestre moving on. Goalkeepers should move too. About time we get rid of Eduardo asd well. Must as well overhaul the entire thing while we're at it with Cesc thrown in. Get Wilshere back, make RVP captain, get us a couple of central defenders, a good goalie, Marouane Chamakh in place of Ed, and we should be fine.
There're more important matters at hand today of course. Not the lofty talk of midweek Champions League games, but the little matter of a crucial North London derby. I would normally hesistate to overly hype any one game, but this has to be it. Anything less than 3 points, and we'd be handing the thing to Chelski. What a game to have to win.
