Badly-coiffed defender sows seeds of doubt in Gunners’ minds
Each summer, everyone besides Steven Gerrard tries to figure out whether it’s Manchester United or Chelsea’s turn to win the Premier League. Gerrard, meanwhile, usually decides to humour the Kop faithful by announcing that it could be Liverpool’s year, only to sheepishly wave the white flag a few months into the season.
It looked like Arsenal were in danger of falling into the same trap when last month when Arsene Wenger announced that they would win everything in sight, but Bacary Sagna has urged caution by admitting in The Sun that the Gunners could be out of the title race by March:
“There is no point in planning ahead for next March because we cannot be certain that we will still be in the hunt for the title by then.
“Obviously, we all have regrets about last season and are hoping to improve on third place.
“But we need to learn from those lessons and that is why I don’t think it is a good idea to set ourselves a definite target for the new season.”
Are Arsenal going to struggle, or is Sagna slyly trying to lower expectations in the hope that they will mirror last season’s strong start? Let us know with a vote and comment below…
Is the world’s favourite supporting lady worthy of her title?
The Spoiler’s most popular post rankings pay testament to the fact that Nereida Gallardo is currently the world’s most popular WAG. According to official made up statistics, her name is the most searched-for term in interweb history, four out of five Spanish men have admitted they say her name in their sleep and thirteen separate ships named ‘Nereida’ will be launched in 2008.
Are the critics being harsh on her unique ‘part silicone/ part tattoo/ part fierceness’ composition, or should Ms Gallardo be placed right up in the higher echelons of WAG hierarchy with Abbey Clancy and her ilk.
Frankly, The Spoiler office is torn on the subject, so settle it once and for all by voting and commenting below.
