Well there's not been a huge amount of news today, which isn't too surprising really, as its a Saturday so all the papers and bloggers have been concentrating more on today's games than on anything really Arsenal-related. As per usual, all the big 4 are playing tomorrow, so I'm not too concerned about today's results, but hopefully Spurs lose again!
One of the main stories I've found today is Dunga (the Brazil manager) being a bit of a twat. Apparently he has told Gilberto to leave the club, saying: "I think he is ready for an experience in Italian football and for Juventus." Of course, despite the poor way he was treated over the captaincy, there is no way Gilberto will be leaving the club. He is far too important to the side and there is no time to replace him before the transfer window shuts, so as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing to worry about. I'll just add Dunga's name to the long list of footballing twats.
We've been linked with Morten Gamst Pedersen and Luka Modric again, but both are from tribal football, so it makes me even less inclined to believe them that I would have been anyway.
Wenger has been telling the world that he believes “we are mature enough to be title winners,” but well, I don't think we have much of a chance of the title this year. I hope and expect us to stay in contention until at least late-March, but I think it is asking too much of us to win it - maybe next year! He's also spoke about how the youngsters are growing up and getting tough this season, but it seems there's hardly a day when one of the squad isn't telling us this. Finally he talked about his new contract, that he expects to sign "very, very soon", which is good news, though I imagine most of us have been expecting him to sign up for a while now.
Rosicky and Eboue have joined the injury list that already included Adebayor, Diaby and Gilberto, which is very irritating, as it was only the other day that Tomas was telling us how he plans to stay fit more this season. Hope fully Eduardo gets a start tomorrow, as I am really looking forward to seeing him in an Arsenal shirt.
Anyway, here's to a Derby victory, and no more injuries until tomorrow!
