Carpe Diem / Squad News

It's been a while, went on holiday at the start of the month and then kind of lost interest in the blog, no real input from the readers and not much discussion but I have decided to give it another go.

Since my last post we have got through to the Semi final of the Champions League and hold a 1-0 win to take to El Madrigal tomorrow night. We have also gained ground on Sp*urs but not managed to overhaul them. Now we are reliant on Bolton or West Ham doing us a favour, or winning the European Cup ourselves.

Saturday's events would just make it so sweet if we did the latter. But that isn't the right motivation for winning it.

As for yesterday the facts are simple, Jol did see it, he told Carrick to play on when we hesitated and then lied about it to Wenger's face, which is what Arsene didn't like. As I always say:

What goes around comes around

I can't really be bothered to talk about it. That twat from Arsenal wtf the says Arsene should apologise. What for? Accusing someone of lying when they were? Jol said to his face I didn't see it and Arsene knows he did, that's why he was so irate.

Arsene just needs to concentrate on tomorrow. It will be a long time before any Tott*nham manager finds themselves in a European Cup semi final and have the dilemma of whether they can afford to rest players for a big Premiership game.

If we get through tomorrow then Arsene is fully justified in doing just that.

Henry, Fabregas, Hleb, Ljungberg and Eboue should all start and by resting them on Saturday we have given ourselves the best possible chance.

Let's live for the moment, forget about what happened Saturday. We have the biggest game in the club's history on the horizon, I say;

ROLL ON TOMORROW
