We have exactly 9 days to go before some proper football is back. I can hardly wait. The annoying part is that international break has come so soon after the scrumptious win over Newcastle. Its like when you were little and your mum would bake a lovely cake with you, complete with chocolate icing and a cherry on top and then she'd tell you that it was to be given away to some charity bake sale or something. You'd go AHHHH F***! Then those giant tears start welling up in your eyes making you decide that you'd run away from home that very instant and you'd make a great big fortune and all the best chef's in the world would bake you all the cakes you could possibly eat and everyone would be sorry but then you'd realize that its getting dark outside and its best you save your running away plans for tommorow. In short, it sucks big time (what I wouldn't do to get rid of these international breaks)
There's not a lot going on in the world of Arsenal at the moment as all the players are busy with international duties. There is however a Q&A with Arsene Wenger, which you can read here. It is a good read, he answers all sorts of questions asked by fans and answers questions ranging from letting Vieira & Henry go, to the media & Sepp Blatter and all things football.
This interview is just light banter by le boss but reading between the lines makes you realize what a remarkably level-headed & intelligent individual Arsene Wenger is and just how truly lucky we are to have in him, a manager who has single handedly transformed Arsenal into the biggest clubs in the world.
Whilst on the subject, there's another interview from the ex-King of Arsenal (we all know who the new king is), which you can read here.
There is still more Arsene as he reveals the decision on the new Chief Executive will be made very very soon. I wonder what sort of an effect that will have on the club on as a whole.
Samir Nasri is again in the news as he talks about life with Arsenal. He talks about how pleased he is to have settled in so quickly, regained his position with the French side and is looking forward to a bright future with the club. He says:
"I am very happy. (so are we Samir) I have been able to regain my place in the national side, there is a good atmosphere at the club, and we have a very young squad that shares my excitement, I do not feel that I am in a foreign country - with all the French speakers around I am not in an unknown territory. I have settled in very well."
Talking about the very obvious comparison with Robert Pires, he said:
"The comparison is flattering. But I need to adapt to the style of play and to acclimatise over here. I would love to have the same sort of career he had for the club."
Right, thats the lot then.
Cheers!!
