If Luis Figo has seriously been approached, things are a lot worse than I ever imagined. Bear in mind I was imagining quite bad things when Jermaine Pennant's name was being mentioned without a comedy effect chuckle in an I almost had you kind of way.

Figo looks like an old man and has been playing like one for the last couple of years.

At 2:45 today the Portuguese National Team (minus Cristiano Ronaldo) will square off against the Bosnians to defend their 1 goal aggregate advantage over the boys from the shores of the Adriatic. This is an interesting match because everyone on earth expects Portugal to be in the World Cup, but I think the Bosnians have other ideas.

Ben Foster had a nightmare during the derby and sections of the press claimed he was going to be dropped for our next Premiership game.

Ferguson rightly stuck by Foster though and the keeper picked up a clean sheet in our 2-0 victory over Stoke. Foster didn't have a lot to do but looked more composed and confident than the weekend before.

Man United goalkeeper Ben Foster has thanked manager Sir Alex Ferguson for having faith in him. Foster didn't have the best of games in the Manchester derby, he was then rested in the Carling Cup last Wednesday but he was picked for the Stoke match last Saturday.
Foster didn't have much to do in the Stoke match but hopefully keeping a clean sheet will have given Foster some much needed confidence.

Anyone who has tried to email me at info@arsenaltshirts.com might have noticed that the email either bounced back or you just didn't get a response. Given the hugmungous number of hits (so many I thought there must be a glitch with the tracker at first) www.arsenaltshirts.com has received in it's first few days I thought things were a bit quiet on the email front and it turns out there was a glitch with the set up.
