The Return; Denilson Love; Lonely Hleb

Fear not! Darzinho has returned from a few weeks of bluffing in exams; all in a desperate attempt to cover up his lack of knowledge.

Unfortunately the season has ended, so I may have to transfer my bluffing skills to this website in order to give you people something half-decent to read!

Anyway, after a year's hiatus from work in which I studied the fields of Journalism and Media Studies, I have to give a serious thumbs down to the Sun newspaper for this headline- supposedly from the words of double-winning Arsenal captain, Frank McLintock:

"I fear Thierry will walk away" the headline screams! And yet, - as pointed out by Arseblogger- not once does this, ahem, 'journal of choice' attribute the quotation to Mr McLintock.

Feel free to tar and feather the writer of said piece - Gavin Glicksman.

"I fear Glicksman will get fired": How's that for a headline?

Annual Members Magazine
I received a copy of the annual members magazine and after a quick flick through it, a couple of things struck me:

Two of Arsenal's midfielders are spending far too much time together. Denilson is quoted in the magazine as saying:

"Sometimes when I'm in bed going to sleep I wonder how this has all happened. I'm here with this bloke, who is from my country, who in 2002 won the World Cup, who now is a huge success at Arsenal."

I suggest that all Arsenal fans write a letter to the club, suggesting that they shell out for a room with two beds; or better still, two rooms for the Brazilian men on away trips in future.

Also, if you turn to page 42, you'll see a picture of the "Players relax[ing] in the Player's Lounge." You'll notice a sad looking Alex Hleb sitting at a table on his own.

Trust me Alex, if I was your team-mate, I wouldn't want to sit with you either after the season you've just had.
