There Is Only One Sinnacle

Oxlade-Chamberlain may very well become a fine young player for Arsenal but it kills me how Arsenal just have their heads in the sand. They refuse to do anything to make their fans happy.

The Gunners have pushed on with their pursuit of Bolton’s Gary Cahill after Thomas Vermaelen was injured in Saturday’s 2-1 friendly defeat by Benfica. Full story: Daily Mail

I still like seeing this 2-1 score line. I’m sure Arsenal will make a 6 million dollar bid to insult Bolton in the coming days. Arsene Wenger is like the kid on your block who still plays Madden 05 cause he is good at that version of the game.

Tottenham’s Kyle Walker is expected to make his full England debut against the Netherlands on Wednesday at right-back. Full story: the Daily Telegraph

Yet he can’t play for Tottenham. In any other country it’s a mandate that young players from through the system and into the first team. In England where a coach can be fired after three games few coaches trust a talented yet unproven kid with a starting role.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini jokes that Mario Balotelli’s unusual behaviour since joining the club have left the manager needing a psychologist. Full story: Metro

I’m sure Mancini will need a psychologist after yesterday’s game as well. This better serve as a wake up call to City they need to be focused for all 90 minutes against the top teams. You let up you lose.
