Arsene is backing Le English to beat the Russians in Moscow on a shitty plastic pitch on Wednesday. Thank God England are in such a piss poor group. England will pick up 6 points in this shambles of a qualifying campaign and end the International week with qualification in their hands. I am glad Sol is back in the fold, the former Gooner deserves it, under Adams at Pompey he has shown he can still hack it at the top.

I’d be pretty confident the French will do the same by getting 6 points over the next few days, Gallas should be back for them, and Lehmann will be back for the Germans. Proving he is fit and giving Wenger a decision to make for Bolton, Khan has been throwing some words of wisdom Jens way. Jens has been warned he needs regular football if he wants to be considered for the Euro 2008 squad. “I know I will play for Arsenal again and think it may well be in our next game. Maybe this break has been good for me. Maybe I needed it. I never like being out of the team, but look what happened last time.” Jens also said the break did him good 3 years ago, he’s bang on there, he was fantastic, but his age is against him this time.

Arsenal have had more TV games announced today, our recent form has picked up the pace of our TV appearances as it did last season. In December we’ll be on Setanta away at Villa on 1^st December 2007, away at Boro on 9^th December, and away at Everton on 29^th December 2007. We’ll be on ordinary Sky on 5^th December away at Newcastle, at home to Chelski on 16^th December, again at home to the scum on 22^nd December, and then again on Boxing Day away to Pompey. December is looking jam packed with games when you add in the home match against Bucharest, and possibly another League Cup quater final, I see a lot of mileage on the clock.
Cesc’s agent is not ruling out a move to Barca. Well he’s not going to, he won’t make any money unless he gets a big move so it will suit him fine whether it helps Cesc or not. His agent says he is unaware of a Barca bid but he went on to say, “If interest arose from Barca then we would listen to it, it is the club that taught him a lot and he would be flattered.” It is worrying that a guy who says this also represents Fran Merida, the next big thing!

What a day we have in store tomorrow, football and a massive egg-chasing match, I can’t say I’ll be sober for many hours!!
