Арсенал-подкаст №91
2012
С энфилдским скаузером Антоном Тищенко (lfc_jugo)
Жеребьевка ЛЧ дала в соперники лондонскому Арсеналу клуб из Каталонии. Да-да, Барселону, и на первую игру гунеры поедут в гости, 26 сентября.
Well, when the backlash starts – as it certainly now will – against football, with all its bling, bust-ups and bloated self-importance, don’t let’s lose sight of what happened three months ago. There are some tired old disputes to re-engage with now that the Olympics have gone – Roberto Mancini still wants more players, Robin van Persie still wants another club, John Terry still wants to be in the clear – but nobody was complaining when Sergio Aguero was running around the Etihad Stadium on 13 May whirling his shirt around his head like a demon, after that finale. It is an incredibly fine sport.
The new season is almost upon us and, at the time of writing, RvP looks likely to join United (Ed’s note – obviously this was submitted earlier in the week) and the ever-gracious Barça squad are openly tapping up Song through whichever Spanish sports hack happens to be hanging around the Nou Camp shower-room on any given day. I suspect that the former will go, and the latter will stay. How I wish it were the other way around. Such is our lot as Arsenal fans I suppose. We managed to offload Hleb to Barça few years back, so we would be very lucky to pull off the same scam again with Song. Why they want him is a mystery to me. He would fit into their tikka-takka system about as well as a hippo with a glandular disorder would fit into Mo Farah’s running shorts.
