Same old, same old.

Basically, nothing of great interest has happened today. The most interesting that I have come across is a piece about reported Arsenal target Clement Chantome by Gunnerblog, who watched PSG play Lyon in the French Cup final yesterday. From the sounds of it, he'd be a decent squad player, but nothing more.

Other than that, we have Wenger confirming on French TV that he thinks Nasri will be signed before the Euros begin. I think we can safely say we saw that one coming, though it's good news nonetheless, and hopefully it will stop some of the moaning that has been coming from some quarters. There is a nice article about Nasri on Footballing World, that I enjoyed reading.

In other news....

Sadly, my six-a-side team, the Heartbreak Kids lost today, which makes it virtually impossible for us to qualify for the knock-out stages of the competition. And this time, we didn't even have the excuse of being incredibly hungover...

We have been linked again to Mario Gomez, of Stuttgart. This just doesn't make any sense to me, and I sincerely doubt there is anything in it, as we have more strikers than we need at the moment. The same article also links us to Blaise Matuidi and Mouhamadou Dabo of St Etienne. These are two names that have been floating around for a while, but I suspect that they've just been picked from the promising young French midfielders bracket and linked with us for no more reason that that.

And finally, more proof that, as we all already knew, Lassana Diarra is a twat. Who is he to talk to Wenger like that? A player who couldn't make the grade at Arsenal or Chelsea, so had to settle for Portsmouth. Twat.

Let's just hope for more exciting news tomorrow.
