Nasri interview in L'Equipe..he needs a cook apparently!

I must admit to being more interested in today's Time Trial at the Tour de France than any of the, admittedly very lame, boring non-rumours relating to football or Arsenal this morning. For those of you not up to speed on Le Tour, today sees a 53km individual time trial with the favourite (Cadel Evans) a mere 1 minute 34 seconds behind the leader (Carlos Sastre). Evans is widely regarded as the better time triallist and so should make up that time difference but the power of pulling on the yellow jersey may just help Sastre.

L'Equipe has a short interview (online anyway - the full interview is in the paper) with Samir Nasri on his move to Arsenal, his view of Domemech and his life in England (such that it has been). Nothing earth shattering as you would expect from the modern footballer (even a French one). Apparently he watched a lot of Arsenal and admires greatly their style of play. It seems he will switch from right to left wide midfield as the game develops and not be rigidly on one side or the other. He's also living on his own for the first time and is seeking to live independently, though he has asked the club to provide someone to cook for him! So any gooner chefs out there could help him out.

Also in L'Equipe it seems that PSG can't stop buying and are now after Mateja Kezman.

As I know many of you are now keen Swiss football followers (!!!) especially those in East London after the transfer of the Swiss "David Beckham", Valon Behrami, to West Ham. This weekend is round 3 of the swiss league (though Grasshoppers don't play due to Intertoto Cup) and the three teams with 100% records all play.
