Anyway the big news on Friday was the release of the 2011/2012 season fixtures. We start our new campaign with a tough month, firstly against Newcastle away. Avoiding a repeat of last years disastrous second half would definitely be handy. This is followed by a Champions League Qualifier and then we entertain Liverpool at home. Then obviously the Champions League Qualifier 2nd leg and then a trip to Old Trafford. Other important dates are October 1st which is the Scum away, the return of that fixture is 25th February, Chelsea away is October 29th and the return of that is April 21st. United come to town on January 21st.
This will obviously be a real test of our teams quality and depth, should it go wrong the season may be a slow started but on the other hand should it go well it will give us a good kick start. It could well depend on who we bring in once the issues with Nasri and Cesc are sorted. Should one of them go Wenger knows he will need to spend to bring in a really top class replacement, especially for Cesc. The same goes for Clichy who has been linked with Liverpool and AS Roma. Gibbs although has shown he can perform, there is a question mark over his head as to whether he can be consistent enough.
A fee has supposedly been agreed for Gervinho but once again its from The Mirror so fuck knows whats going on with that transfer. Renewed speculation that we are interested in Gary Cahill comes from a number of other sources and it all over other blogs and forums, I have no news on this so that's also up in the air. The Mirror the other day posted the story that we were interested in Jermaine Defoe, I mean that useless faggot of a football player would be far from welcome at the Emirates, not a lot of weight in that story though.
That's about it really, should anything else happen I'll keep you posted.
Have a good day.
