Arsenal’s training ground will received a much needed boost this week as Robin van Persie returns from international duty ahead of schedule. In a rare showing of decency and sense, Bert van Marwijk has allowed the talismanic striker to miss Tuesday’s game with Germany after consultation with Arsene Wenger.
“Arsene asked me if I could please not play Robin in both games,” he said. “I had a good talk with Wenger and we decided that Robin would play only on Friday. After that we would send him back to London. I won’t use Robin against the Germans.”
Arseblog News applauds Mr van Marwijk for his enlightened stance and hopes more international managers follow suit. Meanwhile, this current Interlull has been named as the ‘worst ever’ by Arsenal fans who are missing real football.
“Honestly, this is the most tedious Interlull I can ever remember since the last one”, said Trevor Volcano from Holloway Road. “I’ve been trying to fill the gap with strenuous outdoor activities but I think I might have pulled a muscle in my little toe and I will be seeking compensation from Sepp Blatter for this. You can be assured of that”.
“I agree with Trevor”, agreed Nigel Quimthorn. “We had just built up a nice head of steam and now our steam is gone. When you think about how hard people had to work in the old days to get a bit of steam to power things by steam it seems shocking that we allow steam to go to waste in such a fashion. Are we really an elightened, modern society? I suggest to you, sir, that we are not”.
There are further international games on Tuesday before the Arsenal players regroup for Saturday’s trip to the fabled land of the Nore Witch.
Andrew, you are a nutter. Great news though. Sky Sports are just reporting it this morning while you broke the story on Friday or Saturday.
possibly the best nutter that I’ve ever seen 🙂
great Post!!
I’m so sick of barca…I need to write it somewhere, excuse me.
Is it true that Van Der Fart got injured playing for the Netherlands? If so then ha fucking ha!
Na$ri’s got tendonitis… it might be in poor taste but.. QUIDS IN!
Possibly the best ever interlull for us Irish fans 🙂 Poland is gonna get invaded by the green Army…….. Can’t FUxxEN Wait
This is a massive headf*ck on a sunday morning!
*sings*
ohhh, RVP, you mean the world to me,
I know, I know
I’ve found in you
My endless love
Not the worst ever, Croatia trashed Turkey 3-0 🙂 🙂 🙂
Did Eduardo score?
Nigel Quimthorn!! Brilliant.
Fair play to van Marwijk, I love the thought of him and Arsene discussing the subject in a very laid-back manner at an Amsterdam coffee shop. Imagine trying to have the same conversation with Stuart Pearce…
Is Nigel Quimthorne a reference to something?I don’t get why it’s funny :S
because it’s got the word quim in it.
Ah, I didn’t know what quim meant. Urban dictionary cleared it up for me though 😛
Only a week left for real football, good rest for arteta and Robin back in safe hands, tedious yes but there have been worse interlulls also John Terry looks like a broken man in the picture in the Sun a man who looks like he’s going to be found out for the snivelling little shit cunt he truly is
Is it still not over yet then? Ah for fucks sake.
Fuckin interdull.
Aah, good news! No need for camels’ placentae then. Great!
Trevor and Nigel have a lot more to contribute, I’m sure.
actually it seems to be a growing trend among national managers to save players. For denmark, most of the “bigger” players only play one of the matches.
Gotta find the right balance, these friendlies should be to try new talent only really..
these friendlies are ridiculous….I understand that international managers want to play their best players for the team to gel and try out tactics and what not…but what’s the bloody point when the actual tournament is 7 months from now
Would have been the worst Interlull ever if RVP and Ramsey got crocked tbh
I love international friendlys.
Haha genius! 😀
Please tell me that was sarcasmirony……
I think frog is just a contrarian. Never mind being a purveyor of irony/sarcasm.
Ha frog Some people just don’t get it
Wenger would have got shirty with bertie had robin got hurty by some cunt who is dirty e.g for instance, Reading legend Graham murty.
Six days till we bash Norwich!
To the theme of “What is love”:
Wojciech SZCZ
Arsenal don’t concede, don’t concede, no more
Wojciech SZCZ
Arsenal don’t concede, don’t concede, no more
Whoa whoa Wojciech Szczesny, Whoa-oh Wojciech Szczesny, oooh oooh
Was that tune done by a young fella before he became Sol Campbell, back when he was a Spurs reserve called Haddaway?
Not sure about worst ever as there are no injuries to be heard of as of yet. And verminator didn’t even play. So to me, that’s a great interlull so far..
Arsenal 1 – FIFA 0
Seriously, Arsene is right. European qualifying needs to be gotten under control. Look at Africa , Asia, and CONCACAF. The better teams enter the qualifying rounds later on, meaning they don’t have to waste time playing the shit teams with no chance of qualifying. Meanwhile, in Europe, you have San Marino, Faroe Islands, and Liechenstein entering on equal footing as the big guns. Damn European democratic ideals…
Half of them are fucking tax havens that enable the stupidly wealthy to avoid tax.
Why on earth footballers would give them the time of day I’ve no idea…
oh, wait
i think robin would of love to play in the germany match even if its useless when the dutch match against the germans any dutch would love to play since its national pride to avenge their people who died in WW2.
