Tuesday Round-up
Add comment March 24th, 2009
Good morning, folks. Today is Tuesday. And you know what that means:
Â
Â
Absolutely nothing at all.
Bit of a rush this morning, as has been the case all too often of late. I apologise for that – in a week or so I will have the opportunity to dedicate the time to the blog you all deserve. For now, let’s rattle through what news there is and then I’ll be on my way:
Robin Van Persie has declared that he won’t walk out on his current contract. Right. Nothing about whether he’ll stay beyond it though. One can’t help but worry that Mathieu Flamini’s actions at the end of last year might’ve given his mates a few ideas…
One man who seems intent on stick around for a while is Andrey Arshavin. It’s nice to hear, even this early on. Let’s just hope Ivan Gazidis has buried Dennis Lachter somewhere beneath the new Highbury Square development.
Abou Diaby, supposed towering tough-tackling midfielder, reveals his idol to be dwarfish number 10, Gianfranco Zola. Frankly, that explains a lot.
The Togolese Football Federation have called up Emmanuel Adebayor, despite the striker being injured. Perhaps he’s going to cut up the half-time oranges. I have no idea.
I’ll leave you with this charming piece about Robert Pires. What a reception he’ll get back at the Emirates. Top man, top player. Till tomorrow.
