It’s planes, trains and automobiles for Arsenal’s squad of international players this morning as those called up for their respective countries return to London following a mixed-bag of results in pointless interlull kickabouts across the globe.
Carl Jenkinson became the 62nd Arsenal player to represent England when he came on as a late substitute and watched Zlatan Ibrahimovic overnose kick Sweden to a 4-2 victory. Jack Wilshere also made his first appearance in 18 months for the Three Lions picking up a booking in his 30-minute cameo at the Friends Arena in Stockholm.
Despite the hype surrounding Santi Cazorla’s jaunt to Panama the little midfielder was left on the bench by manager Vicente del Bosque as Spain beat their hosts 5-1. Presumably, given he didn’t play, he’s not picked up an injury so the only worry ahead of Saturday’s game with Spurs is fatigue from the travelling. Let’s hope he at least bought himself a nice hat and chatted with a tailor.
Fresh from his brace against Fulham, our Handsome French Bloke led the line for France in Italy. Giroud didn’t score in the 63 minutes he was on the pitch but he was pleased Didier Deschamps side won 2-1 to consolidate their burgeoning credentials following the draw in Spain last time out.
“We will now focus on our own clubs and come back with even more confidence in February,” reflected the striker.
Laurent Koscielny also played the full 90 minutes at Parma’s Stadio Ennio Tardini and also appears to have escaped unscathed.
Thomas Vermaelen was a late withdrawal from the Belgian squad, but both Johan Djourou and Per Mertesacker did play full games for Switzerland and Germany respectively.
The Swiss beat Tunisia 2-1 in injury-time in front of a capacity crowd of 1,500 (oh the glamour of international football) while our Big Fucking German helped Jogi Low’s Mannschaft keep a clean sheet in a dour 0-0 draw with Holland. Lukas Podolski earned his 106th cap as a sub to move up to fourth in the all-time appearances list for his country. Only Jurgen Klinsmann (spit), Miroslav Klose and Lothar Matthaus have played more.
In other news Benik Afobe scored a penalty for the England under-21s (possibly his debut at that level) while Nicklas Bendtner might have played for Denmark, but we haven’t checked. Arseblog News suspects you don’t give a fish’s tit about that though.
Let the build up to the NLD begin…
Remind me again why it was necessary for santi to go with Spain across the world when we have a really truly massive game this weekend. Sigh at least there’s no injuries and it can’t be as bad flying first class (I assume) as it was flying scum class like the rest of us normally have to lol
Was funny to see Wilshere give Zlatan some stick and got proper stuck in lol
But remember “Zlatan does not do auditions…”
I just dont understand wenger when he releases d players 4 national duty knowing of d risk of injuries.d coaches do find a way to refuse allowin d player to go 4 national duty.for instance,rooney and van persie didnt go 4 d national friendliess,they both withdrew wit news dat they were injuried.just watch on saturday if both dont play.To me cazorla and others shouldnt have been allowed to go 4 Unnessary friendly.
Sir sir!!!! Kunle’s using text speak!!!!!
grass
Didn’t read a word after “d” first sentence. Write properly fucks sake
For those who do give a Fish’s tit – I believe TGSTEL scored for Denmark.
Zlatan who?
Get this feeling that Giroud will score for sure this saturday
a hat-trick for OG and a smash to our lanky old friend’s nuts look on the card
. . . and an OG or two for GB !!!!
About 6 minutes after coming on the pitch, Shawcross fucked up to let Ibrahimovic score… And then England conceded two more. Not only is he a vile legsnapping, rugby playing cunt, he’s also shit at defending. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the England team.
Well said.
not only that but Shawcross’ attempt at a goal line clearance for the “best goal ever” was feeble. Stephen Hawking would have done better. Even if you nicked the battery out his chair first.
agreed. cunt.
Halfway around the world to play fuck all, well atleast he’s not injured but still….
Well fucking done del bosque, fuck you and also thank you!!!
Now do Arteta a favor and cap him one of these days.
I’m still ejaculating over ibras goal
ummm thanks?, Wasnt that hard really my gigantic nose provided the perfect stretch to angle that ball. Also hart helped.
Half a yard, positionally inept, allows ibra in…..goooooaaaaaal!!!
(Welcome to international football shawcross)
Next game the opponents should wear pads on their chins. Shawcross gonna get ya!
lets see the consequences of the interlull to mid-table teams like Arsenal.Manchester utd all the way.and then they will call me a cunt!
You’re a cunt for life, mate, no matter what happens to Arsenal.
CUNT!
Don’t feed the troll.
now Arsenal have a new set of fans who are frogs.how they can type is a like trophy to them!
Kill yourself
No u not a just a CUNT, RVP, u are one fucking spoof laden smelly rotten CUNT…CUNT!
hmm would be nice addition for my champions league winning squad. hahahaha(in Italian)
Any news on Tommy? Despite all the flack he is getting I hope he isnt injured!
Btw does torres make a huge case against the saying “class is permanent”.
Heh. Yes.
Nope, he proves form is temporary.

We should have signed Ibra in 2001. We would only have sold him for a huge profit to Barca in 2005 but still… I kid I kid. And TGSTEL scored a penalty against Turkey. He has the talent, look at his overall record for Arsenal. He just needs to get his head out of his arse.
TGSTEL has shot his bolt at Arsenal. There´s no coming back from where he´s at.
I think a better bet might be Joel Campbell (who scored for Costa Rica in a 1-1 draw against Bolivia), a lively speedster with an eye for goal:
