William Gallas gets the armband

Well, I didn’t think it would happen, but it did. And, not just because of all the crap that’s been issuing forth from old Wills’ pie hole of late either. Although, he seems to have changed his tune a bit as of yesterday, I just didn’t think he’d get the nod. Yeah, there’s the seniority and experience, I suppose. But, Gilberto was doing a fine job. Why alter that? And Kolo would have been a great choice too. In fact, there’s several players (who’ve at least played at Highbury in Gunners strip) who are still around and would suit just fine. But, it’s Gallas. I just hope his latest statements are an indication of how he’s going to behave going forward. Because if we have to listen to him bitch and moan after each loss… well, that would suck.

After hearing this, I needed something to cheer me up. So, I went ahead and put the brand spankin’ new EPL ’07/08 table up on the right column there. Ooooh, look at it. All pristine and festooned with zeros, just waiting to drip with statistical goodness as we get underway. I like being alphabetically first in the Prem. Let’s hope that Points column can keep us up there. None of that early season slide to 17th shit this year, please. Thanks :shock:
