Another Volume of Unreconstructed Rubbish

There's so little going on today that I contemplated actually going out and getting some (very) fresh air. But then I thought, no I am a blogger and so I must blog.

Mikael Silvestre has been talking about our kids... experience.. learn from mistakes etc. I think that sums it up quite well. I have some words for Mikael though, along the lines of "We're conceding goals every time you're on the pitch!" I think he's done alright for us, to be fair. But he hasn't proved to be the answer to anyone's prayers, least of all Arsène's I imagine.

Meanwhile, with Senderos and Flamini already there, Italian UEFA Cup entrants Milan seem to be trying to recreate a third wing of Arsenal Football Club- the second one being in the capital of Cataluña of course. Speaking of Cataluña, it's the little catalan captain they're after. With two of Cesc's best mates already at the club (albeit on one of them on loan) they probably fancy their chances. But I think the captain would not be the captain if he wasn't planning on being around at least a couple of years longer. Not that the armband stopped Thierry, I know... Anyway, whilst Barcelona makes most sense as a probable destination for Cesc, how funny would it be if when he does go (as he surely will one day) he rejects the allure of his boyhood club, and the expectant arms of Alex Hleb, and heads to Milan instead?

No, you're right, it wouldn't be funny at all, what was I thinking?

Er, what else is there... oh yeah, this should make you laugh. Or perhaps not, perhaps it's just an indication what a weird month November was. Robin van Persie is Arsenal.com's player of the month. Yes the same Robin van Persie that got a straight red card at Stoke in our first game of the month, therefore missed three domestic games including the 2-1 win at home to Manyoo, didn't score in either of the Champions League matches he played in and in fact didn't score any goals until he got two goals at Stamford Bridge on the very last day of the month! It's understandable, I suppose, being the best result we've had against Chelsea for some time, since 2004 in fact, but player of the month? Really?

I leave you with the news that our old friend, Roy Keane, seems to have fallen on his sword at Sunderland. He was in charge for 100 matches and that time seems to have turned the snarling menace into an introspective philosopher. I almost feel sorry for him.

Almost.

PS Don't you just hate gloating Manyoo fans that can't understand the difference between having Carlos Tevez and Nicklas Bendtner up front?
