Eboue = comedian, Ribery = greedy, Ade = not s**t and Pires = plonka

Another day, another post.

Off I go then – Pires has been a bit of a wolly, well more than a wolly really. He basically spoke to the Daily Star (why?) and said that Thierry should pack his suitcases and head to Spain.

Bobby said:

I think Thierry Henry would be very happy at Barca. I should not be saying this as Arsenal, their manager and their fans are all very good. But it would be best for him to make a change. Arsenal are at the end of a cycle. They have signed some good new players but they are still very young.

They maybe young but Robert seems to be forgetting that people get older. If anything we are at the beginning of a new cycle and we began that cycle a couple of seasons ago. As much as I love Pires as a player, his comments have made me go off him for the time being.

He did have time to praise our Spanish hero though:

Cesc Fabregas is young but he already knows how to play. He is going to be an absolute star. The quality of his passing is right out of the Barca school of doing things.

Was that another attempt to draw an Arsenal player to Spain or simply a statement about his upbringing? Who knows, but the less we hear from Pires the better.

A story that made me chuckle is the interview with Adebayor in The Daily Mail. He explains how Eboue is a comedian:

Sometimes when he eats he puts food up his nose and when he met the Queen at Buckingham Palace he was on the floor playing with her corgis.

What a surreal image. His favourite moment though is this little gem:

It was at Gilberto’s house. It wasn’t even a fancy dress party, but there was Eboue, dressed as a tiger – with a tail and everything – waiting for me behind the door. When I arrived, he made a big noise like a tiger roaring. For a moment I was in a big panic but then I saw him and I thought, ‘Oh it’s only Eboue…’.

I am pretty speechless on the matter. Certainly entertaining none-the-less.

Breaking news as Ribery has completed his move to Bayern. I would like make it clear that Bayern have been ripped off. An absolutely obscene amount -“an initial £17.6m and an extra £2.7m if Bayern qualify for the Champions League at the end of next season”. Blimey. I would also like to say that Ribery is clearly greedy git. Why move to Germany and to a team who do not have Champions League football. A poor career decision which in my eyes can only be put down to money.

Apparently Barca are heading the chase for Toure’s brother. We don’t need him. Simple as that.

Adebayor has declared that he has improved leaps and bounds since arriving. He says that he is not ‘shit’ in front of goal and how he is improving all the time. I like Ade, he is ace.

That’s your lot you sexy things. See you tomorrow.
