News Roundup 3/16/10 - The Dragon Cake Edition

Seriously? Pic via Daily Mail.
  • Happy 21st birthday to Theo Walcott! Let's turn seriously tabloid here (with the help of the Mail, of course) and all comment on Arsenal's WAGs. And Theo's cake... [Daily Mail]
  • To honor this occasion, there are seriously a ton of articles about Theo around now (okay, I think it's coincidence.) ESPN Soccernet has a "THOE WALCOTT FOCUS" (he must play for Aesenal), and Sky Sports has two articles, one on his past injury frustrations and another on his desire for Champions League revenge against Manchester United.
  • Now on to Sol Campbell, who won his first court battle against Portsmouth yesterday [Times] but has promised not to pursue unpaid wages until after a new owner for Pompey is found. [Guardian]
  • Samir Nasri is concerned about his spot on France's potential World Cup squad because he is being played out of position. [Sky Sports]
  • Sir Alex Ferguson believes Arsenal poses a bigger threat to United's title run than Chelsea... [ESPN Soccernet]
  • ...but that won't stop Paul Scholes from running his mouth. [Daily Mail]
  • Nicklas Bendtner reflects on those two occasions where George Boateng should have been sent off with straight red cards on Saturday. [Guardian]
  • Speaking of Hull City, I guess it's old news now, but Phil "Ooompa Loompa" Brown was "relieved of [his] managerial duties" after Hull's stoppage time loss. He's been placed on "gardening leave," which is a phrase that is so ridiculous to me, I don't even know where to begin. It has something to do with still being paid, or something... [Guardian]
  • And, some transfer notes to close out on, as Arsenal has shown interest in Lazio goalkeeper Fernando Muslera [Sky Sports] and Juventus midfielder and contractual disaster Felipe Melo. [Daily Mail]

  2. Lollerskates. WAGs!!! I love that Eduardo and his gf are wearing matching ripped jeans. And can we even BEGIN to talk about the Diminutive Russian's wife. Uh-mazing. Trust Arsenal to avoid the whole orange-slag (as exhibited by the Tottenham gf) look in favor of something more random.
