Flamini to Juve, Hleb slapped with ban and Fab to start…

April 23, 2008

Yes folks we’re bringing you this exclusive ground breaking story that midfield maestro Mathieu Flamini has gone and put pen to paper and signed up for I-ti giants Juventus. OK this isn’t a title to pull in even more hits on the Allgoonerdup site or upset Gooners and we might have jumped the gun but given the silence coming from Mathieu Flamini, the noise coming from Juventus and the statements raised by The Arsenal chairman and Eton old duffer ‘Sir ‘Peter Hill-Wood saying “We have made what we think is a pretty generous offer and we are waiting to hear whether he will accept or not,” So to me I think it’s a done deal. I could be putting two and two together and getting a peanut butter sandwich but I think we have seen the last of The Flamster. It doesn’t make good reading or isn’t a great indication when someone at the club and the chairman at that doesn’t know what a player is thinking. I would love to be proved wrong or in the words of former afro sporting Kevin Keegan – “I would love it, just love it” but I don’t think I will be. That’s your cue Flamini by the way. 

So it seems after four seasons trying to get the midfield berth he so craved and not only making it his own but being a key figure in The Arsenal squad Flamini is set to ride into the sunset with The Old Lady. Given the calculations he still has about eight days to remain at The Arsenal, however the silence coming from the Frenchman is speaking volumes.

Hleb charged: Three words you wouldn’t normally associate with each other Hleb and violent conduct. But now you can as the ice cream loving Alex Hleb has been hit (excuse the pun) with a violent conduct order by The F.A. Hleb was ‘alleged’ to have hit Reading player Graeme Murty and sees his season end early with a three game ban. The media seem to be instigating a move away from Ashburton Grove for Hleb by naming any big European giant interested in him which is what we probably come to expect with any ’star’ Arsenal player nowadays. All I would say on the incident is that he shouldn’t be banned for the ’slap’ but the manner of the slap – he slapped like a netball playing girl. Joe Calzaghe should give Hleb lessons, if you’re going to smack someone – smack them, don’t tickle them. Not that I am condoning violence ont he football pitch of course readers. So given the mass exodus predicted by the media of Arsenal players this summer, we all might of seen the last of the Belorussian non-shooting midfield man in an Arsenal shirt…

Fab to play: So that’s just great we’ll start next season in another ‘transitional phase’ as The Arsenal will be without two key men (in the word case scenario) in midfield, that’s just bloody great that it! Anyhoo some sorely missed good news is that we do have a player staying and that’s Polish keeper Lukasz Fabianski who will play the remaining games this season
