The worst headline I have ever seen
Add comment June 14th, 2010
Every morning I click on Newsnow and have a glance through the Arsenal-related headlines. There are usually a few featuring quotes from Laporta, Xavi, or another Barca cronie, and several saying that Joe Cole will sign for someone someday. Today, however, Fanhouse UK took the biscuit with this quite extraordinary piece of bollocks:
Excuse me while I vomit all over my keyboard. I don’t know who you are, Mike McGrath, but I do know that you know nothing at all about football.
Speaking of Cesc, Arsene has denied talking to the Spain midfielder about his future during his time in South Africa. I suspect he’s telling the truth – it seems that nothing will happen with this deal during the World Cup – whoever the Barcelona President is.
What was Arsenal target Mark Schwarzer thinking last night? You’re in your late thirties, and a Champions League club is interested in you for probably the first and certainly the last time in your career. All you have to do is look vaguely solid at the World Cup, and Ivan Gazidis will come knocking with his jangling purse of pennies. And then you do this. Dear dear. I’ve championed Schwarzer as a potential signing, so I’m not going to turn 180 degrees on him on the back of one mistake, but it was most certainly a rick worthy of an Arsenal goalkeeper.
Quite a few Arsenal players in action today, though Alex Song is rumoured to have been dropped by Cameroon, which seems very odd. He must be among their best players.
