Ok. ... Getting sleepy in the press conference. This isn't good. ... Maybe if I just cross my

this is working. I look perfectly normal like this. ... Oh no.

I wrote the following before I got the news that "Van Persie has torn his anterior inferior
tibiofibular ligament, and his anterior talofibular ligament has unfortunately snapped- hes out for
the rest of the season." No club confirmation yet, so let's hope this is just some little
journalist jumping the gun.

straight out of the club's prescribed dictionary: try harder, work harder, need a bit of luck, the
team fully backs the [.

Well, no-one saw this coming: Ebbsfleet United, the "world's first web community owned club",

This from football's best journalist Mike Cockerill:
'There are some suggestions that Moore could be looking for a way out following the coaching change
- possibly considering a return to Europe sooner rather than later.
Moore, 33, is one of only two A-League players in the Socceroos squad, and has been told by
coach Pim Verbeek he needs to keep playing until May to remain in his World Cup plans.

It's been a rough week for Silvio Berlusconi. He again tried to joke about the Obamas being
"tanned," he told a journalist he thought was a Milan fan that the club are "a disaster," and then
they proved him right by losing to Zurich in the Champions League. And now, Sky Sports Italia's
Gnok Calcio Show has video of Jose Mourinho looking like he wants to gargle drain cleaner
after having a pleasant backroom chat with the Milan owner the day of last month's derby (which
Jose's side won 4-0).

At the start of today's match, Vito Mannone was Arsenal's third-choice goalkeeper, and speculation
was rife that he might soon be relegated to fourth choice. His man-of-the-match performance against
Fulham might have changed that.
I wouldn't be at all surprised now to see Mannone have a run in the side as first-choice keeper.

Manchester United were more or less written off when we sold Cristiano Ronaldo, given the great
contribution he made to our team over the past few years. Similar things were said after Ruud van
Nistelrooy was sold, when David Beckham joined Real Madrid, when Eric Cantona hung up his boots
etc. It seems as though the media and rival fans just don't learn.

Hello people hope you all are having good days without any Arsenal news because it has been very
boring for a few days on the Arsenal front, due to the international breaks no doubt. But before I
go into that there is some positive news regarding Walcott:
The official website has said he is due to back after this weeks international break versus
Croatia but in my opinion I doubt he will figure against Man City, seeming the importance of the
game and risking him would not be worth it.

I thought I would leave todays post a little later. There have been two main responses to our
lack of action in the transfer market yesterday, the 'OH MY GOD WE ARE SCREWED' reaction, and the
'oh well there is nothing we can do about it now' reaction.
Mine is of the latter, the only player I think we needed was cover for Alex Song for if he got
injured and when he is on ACN duty with Cameroon.

decade. In their favour they do have Oliver Holt.
