Civil war, Sagna signs on, so does ‘ze’ mentalist and other bits including Freddie biting the bitter pill…

Hello Gooners looks like I was bang on in my assessment that there’s a load of infighting amongst The Arsenal blog’s out there (who shall remain nameless). It all seems to have gone Pete Tong with some of the blog’s out there having a pop at each other. I’m really not sure if this is just their way to get many more ”hit counts’ as there isn’t really a lot of proper news out there. However this looks to go on a bit longer, makes for a bit of a laugh in my opinion though. Anyway I’m sure once the dust has settled and some proper news is made available the boys will stop their playground antics. Well we can hope and have a good laugh in the process. 

One bit of news doing the rounds is that contender for Arsenal Player of the Year Bacari Sagna has signed up for another two years for The Arsenal, taking his contract up to 2014. Now that is how contracts should be sorted out, Sagna has only been here a year, it has been recognised that he is a prized asset, so The Arsenal tie him down for longer. Well done the board, hopefully this might be the way forward, you know, not letting players leave on a freebie! I know Sagna’s contract isn’t up until 2014 but you catch my drift. Extending The Blonde Bombshell’s contract I suppose is a means to keep Sagna out of the clutches of the vultures that are the Spanish and Italian big boys. It is doubtful something like a player being under contract will discourage those big boys though. 

‘Ze German’ Mentalist Jens Lehmann has signed up for Bundesliga outfit VfB Stuttgart, you know that quiet, farming, tranquil, serene village Alex Hleb swapped for the bright lights, parties and noise of London. Jens you might be as mad as a bunch of drunken ferrets down a fat Yorkshireman’s pants but being part of the Invincible’s 2004 squad you are an Arsenal legend make no mistake. I wish you well you mad old bstad!

Seems like former Arsenal darling Freddie Ljungberg has got ‘David Bentley Disease’ i.e. bad mouthing The Arsenal when you play for a lesser team. Freddie is spouting off about Wenger, the military run camps, injuries, Ikea furniture and West End musical’s. Not really, he’s only spouting off about Wenger. It’s a bit of surprise to hear Freddie having a pop but Freddie move on mate, we al still love you, don’t spoil it. 

Lastly, The Allgoonerdup Awards are heading this way on Friday! Hoorah, we’re just putting the finishing touches to the set and that. On a very last note, you Gooners have probably seen it, I kept missing it on Sky TV so I downloaded it to my iPhone (you posh bstad!) what am I on about – The Nikefootball.com sponsored The Cesc Fabregas Show. You seen Cesc’s mum? Yummy Mummy, that’s all I am saying good people. You can catch the show on YouTube, it’s well worth your pocket money.

All time eleven anyone? Keep your All Time Eleven squads pouring in good people. Some people are posting them straight to the Son of Allgoonerdup Blog and some are emailing them. The idea was to email them and then next week I was going to reveal ‘The All Time Arsenal Eleven’. Once I have all the entries I will do some snazzy graphic type thing for you to all look at to ooh and ahh at, or something like that anyway.

Send your All Time Arsenal 11 emails to: alltimeeleven[@]allgoonerdup.com (obviously remove that thing around the ‘at’ sign). 

Apart from that the last thing I need to do is ask the winner of The Allgoonerdup Fantasy League Matthew Nerney to send me his details again as when my computer died the other day his email / details were lost to those pesky Gremlins as well. So Matthew, I’ve got your t-shirt here on my desk, get in touch and I’ll get it over to you.
