Creative writing can take time

The FA have granted Hull more time to compile their dossier on ‘spitting-gate’.  God only knows why they need more time.  If I was at school say, and went to the teacher accusing a bigger boy of spitting at me, and Sir then said “Ok son, well what happened?”, I’m not sure how he’d take to me turning around and saying “Well, I’m going to need twelve days to tell you”.  Perhaps that is just how long it takes the cretinous Phil Brown to put together a paragraph on the issue.

Nevertheless, Peter Hill-Wood says he “wasn’t impressed” with the pictures that appeared of the incident.  I can only assume he means he thinks Cesc should’ve nutted Horton.

I’m sorry, I’m just a little wound up by this.  The world and his wife can see that Phil Brown is man under a huge amount of stress, and beginning to crack up at the edges.  And yet his claims are not only being given the time of day by the FA, but the time of twelve days.  Absurd.

Sixteen Arsenal players have headed off on senior International duty, and when they get back they’ll be greeted by the still somewhat unfamiliar face of Mikael Silvestre, who after picking up a “three week” injury, has followed the time-honoured Arsenal tradition of being out for two months.  It’s good to see him trying to fit in.

Amazing to think that at one stage this season Silvestre was our first-choice centre-back, based purely on the fact that he was the only one of our defenders not making a horrendous mistake in every game.  Now he returns to the squad behind Toure, Gallas and Djourou in the pecking order, which is hopefully indicative of the turn-around we’ve made in recent weeks.

Silvestre was in the line-up in our worst performance of the season – the 3-0 defeat at the City of Manchester stadium.  Silvestre’s return coincides with the reverse of that fixture, and hopefully we’ll be able to use it to demonstrate our improvement and keep up our momentum.

Should find out today if I’ve got tickets for the away leg at Villareal.  Crossing all digits.
