I’ve had a mental few days

It’s unusual for me to miss a couple of days worth of blogging. But fortunately my crazy week has coincided with International week: pretty much as dull as it gets in the world of club football. Here’s what we’ve missed:
Jens Lehmann admits he is considering a move back to Germany, or possibly Spain. I’m almost certain he will sign a pre-contract to return home, possibly with Stuttgart. Whatever he does is his decision, and we must respect that: he’s been a world class replacement for David Seaman, and now we need to move for a younger ‘keeper.
Freddie Ljungberg, meanwhile, has elaborated on his decision to stay at Arsenal. The injury to Alex Hleb gives him a real opportunity to prove he still has something to offer, and he is determined to reclaim his place:
“There is a special bond at Arsenal. I just love the way it is and that’s why I have stayed so long.”
Mark Randall has been awarded a professional deal, having been regarded as one of the club’s brightest prospects for some time now. Speaking of youngsters, anyone whose ever questioned why I don’t think Niklas Bendtner will make it with Arsenal should check out the quotes on arseblog.
Finally: Arsene Wenger is obsessed with death, we are on the verge of a partnership with the Colorado Rapids, and Emmanuel Adebayor is a good dancer (as if we didn’t know).
We should get some team news today for Sunday’s tie with Wigan – fortunately no-one picked up a knock in the week. Julio Baptista and Abou Diaby might well be back, and they’re won’t neccessarily be the only ones.
