Interlulyaaaaaaaaawn

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwn.....boring times these are.....living in a cricketing nation with no live football to watch......boring times these are....

        So we go into a rather loong interlull knowing that quite a few of our players have packed their bags to go play for their countries,14 to be exact.For some of the players on this list it will be some very much needed playing time so they can get back into the groove for the final lap of the league.For others,it will be a bit too much football for the season.For example,Wilshere has featured for a hell lot of games for the club this season.The only games he missed were the one he got suspended from.So a rest would do him good.....but i don't think Capello is planning on resting him.

The injured players left back will have a good rest and will be ready for the remaining of the season,that list includes Alex Song,Theo Walcott and Cesc Fabregas.These are some pretty big names and they will have to be firing in all cylinders if we are to win the league this season.

Talking about injuries,we have some positive news.Johan Djourou had an exploratory surgery and it has been found that no further experiments need to be conducted on him,and that he will be out for a minimum of four weeks.And in the case of Wojciech,the keeper is set for a scan on April 5th(that far off???don't ask me,i don't know why).He is still working in the training ground.He says "I work in the gym everyday, working on my lower body and my distribution as well which will be very good for me. I’m not getting bored, I can still do a lot of stuff." 


Back to what he does best


While we are on the topic of keepers,over the week there have been a lot of talk about getting Almunia dropped,but when you come to think of it,do we actually want a 41 year old retiree to be the one between our sticks?I know he is/was a great keeper,but the best option would be to wait it out and hope that by the time Wojciech is back,we haven't dropped any/many points.Maybe it is the return of Jens that was the problem,instead of keeping Almunia on his toes,he must have scared the shit out of him into making those mistakes on Saturday.Well,we'll never know(or maybe we will).


In other news,Russian billionare Alisher Usmanov has increased his stakes in the club to over 27% closing in on the 29.99% mark which prompts a takeover bid.His group,Red and White Holdings have been steadily acquiring shares since 2010 and maybe a change of scenery can be expected.


Our very own Cash Pit
We have a relatively easier run-in to the end of the season compared to the others,so there are hopes that United might tire out and so on.....but anything can happen.So here's to a great end to the premier league and let me get back to my sleeping.I shall leave you all with a video of an interview with Wojciech. You can follow me on twitter or facebook,your choice.Have a great day folks..
