More blah, blah, blah….
Startling developments at Arsenal where Shawn Carter - Mr. Jay-Z to you and me - has been linked with buying shares in the club, and that he and missus Beyonce want to be involved in the decision-making at board level. Blimey. Expect the Gunners to fix their goalkeeping problems by signing Soulja Boy in the January Window. Altogether now : I got 99 problems but Manny Almunia ain’t one.
Gordon Strachan has turned to an unlikely source to rally his ailing troops - punk legend John Lydon. The Boro manager recently caught Lydon’s Public Image Ltd at a festival has been quoting their “Anger is an Energy” lyric to his team to gee them up. ”We are angry with ourselves – there is no one else to blame” he says. Could be worse, Boro fans. Strax could have gone with the lyrics to the Sex Pistols Friggin in the Riggin. Which would spice up a January away game at Doncaster, admittedly.
In the weirdest injury since Perry Groves knocked himself out in the dugout whilst jumping up to celebrate a goal, Colchester United’s Lee Beevers has been ruled out for up to four weeks after injuring his hand in a pram. The 26-year-old suffered a dislocated metacarpal after tripping down stairs while carrying his child’s pushchair.He’s been making his name as a “holding” midfielder too. (See what I did there? Comedy gold folks!) Still Beevers must take some consolation in the fact that that he has best surname in League One….
Man City’s Mario Balotelli has apparently been dumped live on TV by his supposed girlfriend, Melissa Castagnoli after she saw video footage of another woman at his luxury apartment broadcast on an Italian gossip show. Castagnoli phoned into the program and told presenters that her romance with Balotelli was over. Balotelli has countered saying that he hasn’t been dumped because the 2 were never dating in the first place. Yea, I can see where the confusion may have lay Mario. Fair play.
