International weeks give Arsenal fans more time to worry.
But I don’t think Fulham is a game we should stress about too much.
The Premier League’s opening weekend was interesting because there was only one draw, between Man United and Newcastle.
Arsenal and Liverpool won 1-0. Portsmouth were really feeble and lost 4-0 at Chelsea, who looked very good. I said Deco is not finished.
Marvellous for Paul Ince to win his first game as Blackburn manager by 3-2 at Everton, who obviously need some new players.
Since nine teams won, nine teams have three points.
Hull City are one of those, having beaten Fulham 2-1
Nine teams have nil points, as they say in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Keegan and Sir Alex have a point each.
Agbonlahor is a striker I’ve been keeping an eye on for two years. Should he play in Capello’s England team? Is he ready to play in a friendly against Czech Republic?
The second Premier League game is coming up soon, and September will be interesting. I can’t wait for September. And I can’t wait for the end of this dismal “transfer window”, which has now been inexplicably extended till midnight on September 1st.
With Arsenal winning, and Fulham losing, and new striker Andy Johnson doubtful for Saturday at Craven Cottage, that looks like a game Arsenal can win, although the team’s performances often dip after midweek internationals.
On Adebayor’s new contract, you don’t really need me to comment further. Every Arsenal fan has his own views on Adebayor. I’ve merely said that the club needs Ade to keep them in the Top Four.
However, I can fully understand why some fans booed him during the West Brom game. As Bob Dylan once said, there’s a little bit of boo in all of us.
I get boo emails every day, so I know what it’s like.
