Wenger and Clichy Talk and Almunia is Out

Hello all, bit of a brief one today as there isn't all that much news ahead of the match against Man City tomorrow.

First off, Gael Clichy spoke about getting his first call up to the France national team. As I wrote yesterday, his play definitely warranted his first call up and hopefully he gets into one of the two games France will play. Evra and Abidal both also got called up so it'll be a fight but if Domenech has any brains at all he'll play him ahead of those cunts.

"Of course it is a big surprise, even if for some time I heard about it," he said.

"I was paying more and more attention to the last calls.

"I knew after the training session when I had a message from my sister. It was a mix of joy, emotion and pride."

Then he went on to thank Arsene Wenger and to say that he's ready to play for France and hopes he gets to kick the shite out of Fernando Torres when they play Spain.

Arsene Wenger spoke about how he almost signed Cristiano Ronaldo before he joined ManUre. Now wouldn't that have been something? Would we still hate him as much if he played for Arsenal? My head says no but my heart says yes because he is such a whiny twat.

"I knew about him, yes. We were very close," Wenger said.

"One day I will tell you more about that story and you will be surprised.

"You will have to ask him how close it was."

Wenger added: "He was here much earlier - he could tell you that if he wants."

Bit of mystery there from Arsene...doubt that prick Ronaldo will ever say anything about it though. What a sack of shite.

As for news for the match it looks like Djourou, RvP, Rosicky, Gilberto and Manuel Almunia are out for the match. I guess it'll be Mad Jens in goal then. Let's see how he handles it. We also of course have Song, Toure, and Eboue out at the African Cup of Nations, so quite a depleted squad for this one. Senderos has done well though and Diaby looked good last game so hopefully they can keep it up.

Here's to three points and a Man U loss.
