essien left out of chelsea squad due to possible loan move. di matteo said so.

I'm feeling very zen. Totally out of character. I'll completely spazz out if we lose to Liverpool, I'm sure.

don't really care that much either tbh. i didn't expect us to sign anyone; far too quiet recently. used up most of my anger when we missed out on sahin. will come back to bite us in the ass...

anyways, let's move on to the next in a long line of mediocre seasons.

Sort of like that as well Asa.
For me it is linked to the difficulty in assessing how strong this Arsenal squad really is. Too many unknowns still!
Will Podolski and Giroud become reliable goal scorers?
Will Gervinho kick on and have a better 2nd season in the PL?
How much will AOC be a factor this season?
Will Coquelin stake a claim for himself in the team?
Will Diaby stay fit? If so - what will he bring to the team?
What can Wilshere contribute with?
Will the positives regarding keeping team shape from the first 2 games continue when we play better teams?
And on, and on, and on...

BBC Radio mentioned something about us being linked with Sjneider

Did you hear this today? I saw that rumour somewhere around July albeit in the caughtoffside website.

Another transfer window of profits for the board. Kroenke must be delighted. Hope you guys give him hell if he ever bothers to show up to a game this season.

The board don't take dividends though.

Money is going to pay off the debt.

I'd rather sign no one than Sneijder. Hate him as a player.

Just heard the Sjneider rumour whilst driving home about 30 mins ago

Yeah right, sneijder would be a dream signing, not happening in a million years.

We probably made an "enquiry" like we have about half the players in Europe.

Sneijders reportedly Inter highest earner. We'd never match his pay never mind improve it enough to interest him in a move.

Chavs 4-0 down with 30 mins to go, something to lol about

My understanding is that Arsenal were offered Essien - and not the other way round. They politely declined but was never on today's agenda

:s

Why would we be offered Essien? Makeweight for Theo?

No but they've all cashed in their shares and made very healthy profit for themselves doing so. While doing everything in their power to make the club look as economically healthy as possible. I somehow don't think these things are all coincidence.

Dempsey at Spuds training ground apparently 🙁
