Firstly, I was on poor form last weekend and forgot to write my column. Well, when I say poor form, what I actually mean is that I had drank my bodyweight in alcohol whilst watching the England vs Italy game and spent my Sunday flirting with the possibility of chucking it all up again. As it turns out, I may as well have saved my money.
1. Arsenal want Balotelli
My favourite news story of this week is that Mario Balotelli could be on his way to Arsenal, although I’m taking the reports with a pinch of salt. These types of reports have happened before. Remember how close we were to signing Gonzalo Higuain? There is one main difference though and that is that Balotelli’s agent has come out and praised Arsenal, saying that we are a fantastic club and that anything is possible regarding a transfer. It would be a risk to sign him because simply put, he is a nutter. I can’t remember any other player in my lifetime attracting so much attention, for both right and wrong reasons. If he did come to Arsenal though, he would be our nutter, and if he’s scoring 20+ goals a season in the league, we’ll be happy. Use the page numbers below to see the other top news stories from last week.Â
