It looks like we’ve missed out

In recent weeks, I’d decided I definitely wanted Chelsea to win the title. Not only were Manchester United the old enemy – it’s far more important than that. It’s because for the past two years, I’ve accepted Chelsea’s dominance, on the condition that we did everything we could to be the first side to beat them to the title. Manchester United, at least two years ahead of us in terms of the development of their team, look to have beaten us to the punch after a quite amazing 90 minutes. Words don’t do it justice. All I can say is that Phil Neville’s “defending” was more than suspicious.
There is so much news from yesterday it’s hard to sum up. I think it may be time for bullet points:
- Jens Lehmann is staying
- Justin Hoyte is staying (contain yourselves)
- Tomas Rosicky and Freddie Ljungberg are injured. I am not sure that this qualifies as “news”.
- Arsene won’t be telling Julio Baptista’s agents that they represent the clumsiest man in football until next week
- Arsenal will appoint a “Director of Football” (or something similar) in the “close season”. I imagine that we’ll pinpoint the man perfect for the job, then be gazumped by Real Madrid or Chelsea.
- Peter Hill-wood has sent a letter to shareholders, asking them to boycott all American produce for the forseeable future. Or something similar.
