UNTOLD ARSENAL » 2008 » December » 16
So today is the day – Eduardo is back. The Croatian media have block booked the press box, and there could be a larger than normal crowd… at Barnet. Yup, its reserve football time – and it is live on Arsenal TV.
The Lord Wenger says Eduardo has been brilliant in recovery and could come back even faster than before, and with all the skills that made him so special. But he also said he still needs another six weeks to put him at the top again. Hopefully those six weeks will include some cameo appearances for the first team.
Meanwhile The Tiny Fantasists did what they do best – made utter fools of themselves. At their AGM everyone was saying how wonderful the plan for the new 60,000 stadium is (ignoring the fact that they have double-counted the number of fans that they have waiting for tickets, as we discussed a few weeks back).
It was all slap-each-other-on-the-back time until bubbling over with bon homie and enthusiasm Mr Leavy asked Mr Red Napp to give a quick run down on how the team was doing.
The manager said, if you are asking if this team could get into the top four, the answer is nothing like. It’s relegation material.
Of course everyone knew that – but Mr Leavy had actually said just a few minutes before that there was no money to buy new players in the January transfer window.
Bit of a problem then.
Still, Eduardo at Barnet. That’s more like it. Bischoff on the wing, a run out perhaps for Wilshere, Merida playing at being Cesc in the middle… Looking like quite a team
