I do not want to go into those silly, disrespectful remarks. I never spoke about him in my press conference, and I will not start now. The only thing I know is it is more embarrassing for Chelsea than for me. I am embarrassed for him. Honestly. I am more disappointed for Chelsea than for me. I am not interested in the subject at all. If you are interested, and you have nothing better to do in your life, you are free to do it. I love football. What is interesting for me is what happens on the pitch.
Now, whether Arsène actually spoke about Mourinho or only alluded to him is beside the point.
The whole affair reminds me of the back-and-forth reminds of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, in which Pee-Wee, the dapper but nerdy kid with a shiny red-and-white bike, faces Frances Buxton, an oily, wealthy, smarmy rival who can buy anything he wants, especially Pee-wee’s bike. In one face-off, the exchange goes like this:
Francis: Then you’re crazy!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You’re a nerd!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You’re an idiot!
Pee-wee: Sh! I’m listening to reason.
Classic, classic stuff. Much as I hate to cast Arsène as Pee-wee, the Mourinho-Buxton pairing is straight out of central casting. There you have it.
Right. Well, last I checked, we have an actual match to prepare for with Bayern coming to town on Wednesday. Chelsea have to travel to Galatasaray, where I hope Eboué can again endear himself to the Gooner faithful.
‘Til next time, thanks for stopping by.
The scum play the following week.Hopefully drogba will give it to them LARGE,As he was disappointed that moaningHOdidn't bring him back to Chelsea.
This one might fall flat, I don't know how many people in the UK will remember a 1985 American movie. Too bad.
Did you see the rumours of Arsenal going to the States this summer are gathering pace.
I did! I posted on it at our Chicago Gooners site (still a work in progress):http://chicagogooners.com/2014/01/13/arsenal-looks-into-a-us-summer-tour-can-we-get-them-to-visit-chicago/
