The first result on a Google Image search for "slippery pitch" is the Emirates... Pic via Flickr.
- So, the answer to the "What will Arsene Wenger blame the loss on that isn't the players?" game we played outside of the bar after Monday's match is "the pitch," which we did notice was fairly poor. I had thought United were wearing special boots specifically to handle the grease they added to the pitch before the match. But also, seriously, that doesn't explain why they didn't know what to do with the ball in the final third. [BBC, Guardian, Daily Telegraph]
- A snood-wearing Frenchman thinks Arsenal plays too flashy sometimes. [Sky Sports, Daily Telegraph]
- That same snood-wearer was named France's Player of the Year. Bear in mind that everyone that was with that team in South Africa was probably disqualified. [Sky Sports]
- Wojciech Szczesny is determined to make the fact that I learned how to spell his name months ago worthwhile by staying in the side. Yes, I tripled checked that sentence to avoid ironic typos. [Guardian]
- Speaking of goalkeepers, Arsenal and Manchester City are apparently keen on Blackpool keeper Matthew Gilks, who wants out of the seaside. Doesn't City have like eight goalkeepers? [Daily Mail]
- Surprise! Arsenal might be interested in a French center back! I am flabbergasted at that news. The man in question is Mamadou Sakho, who plays for PSG. But, apparently Barcelona are interested too. Shouldn't they, you know, finally pay us for Henry first?[Daily Mail]
- Stoke City fancies their chances at picking up a win at the Emirates on Saturday, since Newcastle and West Brom have done it this year. Well, obviously they would say that. The headline should read "Stoke Thinks They Can Win, Says Stoke Player." [The Sun]
- FA Youth Cup: Arsenal thrashed Darlington 6-1 yesterday, setting up a next round match with either Sunderland or Chelsea. Chuks Aneke had a hat trick. Benik Afobe had a brace. Defender Daniel Boateng scored a rare goal for Arsenal's sixth. [Arsenal.com]
