Almunia breaks finger, Wenger wants Kiely

THE PHONE rings at 12.30 pm while we are watching Bill Clinton addressing college students at the Centre for American Progress.

This is a C-Span programme on the BBC Parliament channel.

“Wenger wants Dean Kiely because Almunia broke his finger in training. He needs a keeper for the first two European games cos Lehmann is suspended”

“Good”, I said. “I thought he should have signed Kiely four years ago. He’s far better than Richard Wright.”

Then I went back to watching Bill.
