Previously the record for the longest transfer was held by Arsenal for the eventual purchase of Arshavin but it looks like the signing of Laurent Koscielny will top that, Arsenal are doing a deal with Lorient to make the transfer last until September, the trouble is everyone was excited about Arshavin because he is a little Russian genius. Nobody knows a single thing about Koscielny and if we are being brutally honest, no one is particularly excited. He is like the vegetables you have to finish before you get your pudding...


I think the reason it hasn't been confirmed is because Wenger is arsing around in SA getting a bit of extra cash to be able to buy a new Blackberry, or window shop ("The World Cup means that players lose their value"). I have Rangers and Celtic supporters extracting the urine about Arsenal not being able to sign a player quickly and faffing around for weeks. That is how desperate this silly situation has become.


The Injury free season start bubble has burst. Nikki B has still got his groin injury, I have been suffering from one for 4 years and it hurts like hell. Obviously my body isn't under the same strain as his though! Who would like to place a bet for how many players we have missing through injury for the trip to Liverpool? I say 5 especially given that RvP still has 2 games left in the WC!


I saw an article in the Star (so it must be true, even though we let PHW write for them!) That Pep Guardiola has been sniffing around the Spanish squad and speaking to Cesc. If this is true it's just standard behaviour from these classless tossers.


On the other hand if it is true, maybe we should just sack Fabregas off to the reserves? He has behaved terribly and I for one will not be getting Fabregas 4 on the back of my new shirt. Oh and £35m? Barca sold Yaya for £28m which makes Fab worth at least £56 (he is twice the player).
