Super-kids do the business again

The whole world is falling over themselves as they try to get to the front of the queue in giving the latest accolades to the young Arsenal juggernaut. So sometimes I wonder what I could say that is different from everyone else... Top of the league, through to the next round, good start in... got this, got that. There is a sense of belief in this young side that is a bit scary. You can see it in their eyes. They want to dominate, they love winning and they treat opposition teams like prey. They are smashing goals from way out... If Ghandi aka Henry was around they would be passing those but they are firing them in from way out now.

Last night Sevilla side fancied for some unfathomable reason as being Champions' league contenders in spite of thjis being their debut, the Arsenal youngsters put together the perfect show. I dont think I will mention any particular player by name but the wh...

I found it laughable that people were even suggesting that wily Frenchman was on his way out. I saw him buy players last year for the long mid to long-term and I am not even sure it is newsworthy to mention the contract that will be signed in a minute. Of course for the gooners it is brilliant that we have it on paper that he will be with our lot for the next three years and the madrids and whoever else fancied him can just fog off into the whatever... And that's that. International break now so a good reason not to care about football especially with the Rugby world cup starting this weeknd...
