International nonsense is over for a bit, hurrah!

There were a number of Arsenal players involved in international duty last night, with many giving a very good account of themselves.

Thierry scored in France's 3-1 win over World Champions Italy, RvP banged in two and set up another as the Netherlands beat Alexander Hleb and Belrus 3-0, Theo scored a nice goal and Djourou got injured as England U-21s beat Switzerland 3-2, Freddie missed a penalty but Sweden still won 3-1 against Lichtenstein, Mad Mad Jens kept a clean sheet as Germany walloped San Marino 13-0, and Cesc came off the bench to see Spain lose 3-2 to Northern Ireland.

Good to see so many of the boys doing so well on international duty, but back to the matter at hand, and three points up for grabs on Saturday, and that's where the lads need to put their focus. The injury to Djourou means that Gallas is certain to start in the centre of defence, but I'll talk more about line ups tomorrow.

In Chelsea news, looks like they're going to continue their cuntiness by tapping up Nicklas Bendtner, our young Danish striker who's kicking copious amounts of arse in the Championship. They can well and truly fuck off.

Gallas refused to be drawn on the Chelsea issue last night, and instead talked about how excited he is about making his debut at Arsenal. Good man.

Peter Hill-Wood has also said he's not interested in making the newest Chelsea farce run any longer. That's how a football club should be run.

Til tomorrow.
