Apparently the Celtic chief exec Peter Lawwell has turned us down but at the same time he hasn’t so who knows...bloody paper talk. We will hopefully bag someone soon.

Kroenke is going to join the board and get more involved in the get rid of the Usmanov idea. The Usmanov has no charisma! We want some safety not a flash in the pan dodgy ex-con! Mike Ashley anyone?

Ade has said he is going to be dynamite in the CL this season. Let’s hope so because he was rubbish last season.

Bobby Pires is playing Man U tonight. Villarreal are my second team (Arsenal connection). They are forever in my heart for giving us £2m for Pascal, what a man, do you miss him? (Pascal not Pires).

Just a note for everyone, the way the CL TV rights are paid it is by country then by club each round so if there was only one English club in the knockouts taking say £20m if all 4 are there it’s down to £5m. I thought I would tell people this because it is an added excuse not to support Chavski and Man U. It may be good for British football having 4 teams in the knockout stages but its not so good for the Arsenal bank balance!

Cheers.
