TV Dates Decided

Thanks Willy! Gallas today piled more pressure on Arsenal. These are not the healthy vibes you’d hope would come from your senior players. His comments will fuel speculation that he may leave Arsenal. I find one comment particularly distasteful, he said several players are questioning the club’s future, his comments will not sit well with any Arsenal fan especially after a distinctly average season he has last term. William must raise his own game first before criticising others.

It seems Liverpool have entered the race for Ryan Babel at the last minute. Babel has said he wants to play for Arsenal and may have to retract those comments if The Scousers are his only serious option. Tribalfootball are linking Freddie with a move to Fiorentina and they also link Juve with a bid for Rosicky. As if we didn’t need a winger already??

Great news for Young Gun Matthew Connolly, arsenal.com today revealed he has secured a season long loan at Colchester. A full season in The Championship could really make the young centre back.

Finally it seems Setanta Sport and Sky have got together and sorted out the TV dates so we can now all book our travel to the early season games. Arsenals’ first game has already been moved because of transport problems on the Victoria line and so our season will now kick off on 12th August @ 12pm. Our first match on TV will be Live on Sky at home to Pompey on Sunday 2nd September @ 1.30pm.

I’m sure we’ll have plenty more games moved for TV but it is refreshing to only have these few moved after the run from boxing day until March having every game on TV!! That was annoying. What will Gallas come up with tomorrow? We wait with baited breath.
