WAJUK.

Apologies for the title, but this interlull has left me entirely bereft of inspiration. First things first; no I do not have an injury update following the interlull. Hopefully I will be able to give you one after the second round of games, at the moment I know of no serious injuries; Conor Henderson took a knock last week, but he seems to be fine now.

Onto random news then, Jens Lehmann thinks that his 'psychological warfare' with Arsene Wenger pushed him to achieve. Psychological warfare? Really? Also, Brazil beat Scotland 2-0 yesterday in a match at the Emirates, highly rated youngster Neymar grabbing a brace. Pedro Bothelo scored a decent goal for Cartegena which can be seen here. It's the second one.

Reserves and youth and stuff then, Steve Bould has been saying that poor results doesn't mean there's no potential in the side. As I've said before these U-18s are very young for their age group (i.e. U-17s) and that plays a major part in youth matches. Daniel Boateng reckons that even though we were knocked out of the FA Youth Cup by Chelsea, a Reserve league win would make up for the disappointment. Finally, the Reserves are in action tomorrow afternoon as they travel to Wigan. Their last match was a 2-1 win over Liverpool in which Luke Freeman scored a brace and you can be sure to check out a match compilation here thanks to CWDGunnereserves.

The Cesc Fabergas saga is kicking off early this year. Barcelona look set to miss out on the captain as they can't afford him, leaving him set to stay at the club next season. It's still early doors and I wouldn't trust those arrogant oafs who show such a large lack of humility that they could well compete with John Terry in the 'UEFA lack of humility awards'. 'Our relationship with Arsenal is not good at the moment'; that's what usually happens when you try and buy a clubs captain with underhand slimy tactics and you can't even afford him anyway. Imbeciles.

The good old fashioned club vs. country row has kicked off again, it turns out that the FA want to do a 'Theo' and take a member of the senior England starting XI and play him in the U-21s. A step down? I think so. This means that Jack won't have a proper summer to relax until 2013? He's naturally expressed his desire to play this summer, as you would expect. Apart from the fact that he would always play football given the chance, especially for his country; he can't really say no can he?

Finally, both Arsene Wenger and Samir Nasri are not appealing their bans from UEFA and will get one match bans, with Wenger being fined 10000 euros for expressing his opinion. No big loss really, as I said in an earlier post, you wouldn't expect UEFA to admit to a mistake.

That's all for now, more later on in the week.
