Henry and oh Danny boy

So having spent the whole season prancing about and sulking like a two-year old who has just been told that Santa doesnt exist and that the boogie man was really just his dad, our dearly beloved narcissist and top goal scorer of all time took some time away from admiring himself in the mirror to talk about his love for... Arsene. Yes Thierry Henry came out and said he would be staying at the Emirates (Superdome if Kroenke gets his way) until Arsene decides he would like to spend more time gardening with David Dein or join up with Sarkozy deciding the future of the french. And Swiss knife wielding Arsenal big shot Daneil Fiszman(Fish to his mates) has said he has absolutely no interest in selling his shares and those russians he was hanging about with under the cover of darkness the other day were just mates from the old world. At least he didnt go the Condie Rice way and call them soviets. As for Jose Mo, the Chavski bloke, he just upset a little schoolgirl the other day by calling PF...

David Dein affair and other issues

I am not a shareholder in Arsenal Holdings PLC so it doesnt really bother me. I do recognise his contribution to the club if his PR is anything to go by and since it is the general opinion then it must be credible. But does it really matter? If the board has messed about in sending him off then it is their loss isnt it? But if there was a fractured relationship with the rest of the board then the working relationship would have been dead anyway which would have been bad for the team in general. But I dont really care do I? I mean I am sitting in Zimbabwe where inflation is about errr... 369999% and I am more concerned about dealing with that than that some American is making eyes at the team and hoping to get in there and make a beat. It's like me being interested in the fact that Jeniffer Aniston has been warned off Jake Gylenhaal by Reese Witherspoon. That doesn' t really matter does it? I mean that is just petty issues. It's not as if what the one says to the other matt...

Arsenal season rating

It's easy to sit in the back and scream all manner of obscenities at the boys for a season in which we did not do as well as we have come to expect from an Arsenal side from season to season. But I put it to most Arsenal fans that we have done very well actually. The Arsenal team at the moment is not yet version 3. Not quite there. We have a lot of new players, age aside. A lot of fans are calling for Baptista's head. After less than a season. That isnt fair is it? I mean sure he has been a tad bit disappointing but let's face it, most of the team has been, especially in front of goal. Robin van Persie aside noone has had that cutting edge that is needed from teams at this level. And he has the benefit of seasons in the premiership under his belt. Last season we punched above our weight to be honest, in getting to the champions' league final. And this season, no fan can say that Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester, certainly in terms experience and the current continuity...
