So, boring Interlull news: Theirry Henry is now captain for New York Red Bulls as they kick off the season with a win. News on the UEFA charge against Wenger and Nasri as well, the club are still debating whether or not to appeal. I do wonder just how many times UEFA rescind a punishment, admitting they're wrong. Not very often I bet.
Aaron Ramsey has been talking about how it was tough to sit on the sidelines, not being able to play football. As Arsene Wenger said, it's hard mentally for an injured footballer; they feel like they are useless, especially if like Rambo they're out for nine months. The signs so far look promising, hopefully a good performance for Wales this weekend will keep his comeback on the rails.
Robin Van Persie has been saying, rightly so, that the title is in our hands. Obviously this is true, win all our matches and bang; silverware. I have no doubt that the first XI are raring to take on the big boys, but what about the second-string? Our weakness this season has been when fringe players come in and just coast.
As Benik Afobe's time at Huddersfield Town is drawing to a close with the end of the season, he's been looking ahead to the future following his impressive loan spell to a career wearing the red and white of the Arsenal. He's also been speaking about how his loan spell has helped him in terms of learning from experienced pros. Let's hope he kicks on from here, with either a cup run next season or a loan spell in a higher division.
Also, another video courtesy of CescyFabGooner; this time an interview with Wojcech Szczesny talking about quite a few things, such as the frustration of having to watch on from the sidelines and also the return of Jens Lehmann. It's been revealed that despite his injury, the young Pole is still training and trying to improve his distribution. What a legend.
Finally a piece in the Mail about Gael Clichy. They reckon he's set to leave in the summer with Emilio Izaguirre set to come in from Celtic. I'm told he was close to leaving last season, and with contract talks on hold until the summer there's talk of restlessness. It could happen, although I'm not sure about whether Gibbs is really ready. He has the potential to be good, but he still has slip-ups every now and then. I wouldn't be surprised if Clichy were to get a new contract in the summer, that's what the club are looking for, it all depends on what Clichy wants I suppose.
