Silly Billy?


Internationals. Yawn. England. Yawn. Sack Crap Mac. Yawn. Everybody hates International football. It's boring and painful to watch our overrated, overpaid pathetic nation being embarrassed. This week and half seems like six months and I can't wait until Saturday, to watch some decent footy on the box. The slim piece of news coming out of Arsenal regards Kolo Toure's new partner in crime, William Gallas.



It is believed that the French defender has been criticising his new team. Now if this is true then perhaps it is something to worry about. Billy left Chelsea with a reputation after reportedly threatening to score an own goal. But the press (unreliable thankfully) report that he has been disappointed with his new surroundings. He criticised the medical staff for not dealing with his injuries well, but this story is unlikely to be true as there are few, if any, better staff than at Arsenal. It is also believed he has been slating his teammates for their sloppiness in recent games. One victim that has been highlighted is Alex Hleb, who gave away the cheap freekick against PSV which led to a goal, knocking us out of Europe. But perhaps this is a good thing. Maybe this young team need a wake-up call judging by our recent results. I believe this is a sign of a determined leader and it is good to have three experienced players with different attitudes. Gallas with his aggression and determination, Gilberto with his quiet, gentle leadership and Henry with a bit of both. I credit Billy and hope he willl stick around to play in the future Arsenal team that will dominate the world.
