My mind has been anywhere but thinking about football for the past three days as I've been suffering from the flu virus hitting Switzerland at the moment. Although I'm just about okay to write this today (and apologies for my two days off) I still feel groggy as though I've been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.
However, from my vantage point of the sofa (under the duvet) today I've just witnessed the first half of the Stoke v Manchester City game and you can understand the way Stoke lay given their resources but as for Man City, well!! Stoke down to 10 men deserved their goal. It just goes to show that despite the current criticism of Arsene Wenger, some of which is perfectly justifiable, having loads of money splashed around doesn't necessarily work either.
Of course most Arsenal bloggers are probably holding off on their writing hoping to be the first to say Arshavin has been signed, or not! It's probably a no win situation now as if we don't get him some fans will be complaining it's because we don't open the purse strings and if he does, he'll probably flop as he's got so little time to get integrated into the team and the Premier League.
Meanwhile some good news (for the future anyway) as our Youth team won 4-0 away at Sunderland in the FA Youth Cup so perhaps we'll win one bit of Silverware this year.
