I love it when Sepp Blatter gives interviews because every time he opens his mouth he proves beyond
a reasonable doubt that he is a complete twat. This week (so far, he could still have a few things
up his sleeves!) he made the shocking observation that football teams in England try to make money.
Whoa [.

Those of you who are using an RSS feed to read my posts should go ahead and point your
newsreaders to 7amkickoff.com because on July 1, I'm switching to my own domain. You can go over
there now and look at it if you want, some CSS bits are still being manipulated and then I have to
export and import all my content (no small feat in a two year old WordPress account) and then I can
start whoring myself out to advertisers!
Emmanuel Adebayor has come under the spotlight in recent times, since he has been publicly
acknowledged as a probable reinforcement to Italian giants AC Milan. The club from the peninsula
has been chasing a host of forwards in order to boost their strike force, and players like Luis
Fabiano, Peter Crouch, as well as Klaas [.
Bit of a different format today, owing to the deluge of news that always happens on a Friday so
let's get stuck in, shall we?
Injury Update
Eduardo and Silvestre are both out for Saturday. Dudu is being rumored to be out for the rest of
the season with his groin strain while Silvestre will be a late test for Tuesday.
David Villa, Worth More than Ronaldo?
It's probably the most ridiculous release clause of any contract, ever: David Villa's £130m
release clause would make him worth two Ronaldos. A goal poacher, worth two Ronaldos? A goal
poacher, worth an entire Newcastle United?
7amkickoff Exclusive!
I can exclusively report that Arsenal have confirmed a friendly against
Hannover Fist on July 29th. This means that we are less than two months away from the return of
real football!
7amkickoff two-xclusive!
7am kickoff has heard from a reliable source that Zlatan Ibrahimovich is a cunt!
Have you heard any good jokes lately? No? How about this one? "Arsenal Set To Make £40m Franck
Ribery Bid Reports."
LOL
Yeah, ok, let's just assume that Arsenal are going to bid £40m, which, according to Bayern
manager Uli Hoeness, is £60m short of his valuation and would get us just a leg.
First off, I hope this morning's 3rd place Vuvuzela consolation cup match finds you well. It
doesn't find Cesc Fabregas well, or maybe it does find him well and he's just not playing because
his international manager is mad at him. I dunno, either way, there isn't much to say about this
game since there aren't any Arsenal players on the pitch.
As I've said before, I'd be shocked if Fabregas doesn't get a ban for his part in Phil Brown's
spittergate. After all, Cesc is a member of Al Queda and we can give those fellers no quarter or
they will be spitting on our children's corpses: IT WAS THAT BAD.
There's also very little news: Adebayor is going to Chelsea (OH GOD PLEASE YES), ManU is ready
to win the title IN OUR FACES, Xabi Alonso is the first of a long summer of "not signing for
Arsenal" stories, some Argentinian kid is in North London for a trial at Arsenal and funny enough,
he thought he was getting a trial at Arsenal di Sarandi!
Badge kisser.
Back in August, during a meaningless Arsenal v. Real Madrid match, following on the heels of a
summer of seemingly schizophrenic interviews by Arsenal's then 30 goal scoring target man, Adebayor
scored a meaningless goal and promptly ran over to the fans and kissed the badge.
