We unmask the ‘Stig’ of Arsenal fans

by CARL ELDRIDGE Let’s skirt round the tabloid tale of Jack Wilshere alledgedly camera-snapping the draws of nightclub bimbos to concentrate on football matters this morning shall we? (Let’s face it, we’ve all done it…haven’t we?).

The international break leaves us bereft of any decent Arsenal gubbings (save for news of which players have picked up which injuries while representing their nations) but we do have a scoop for you here at arsenalinsider.com  – our mysterious leader, Le Boss, was interviewed for ATVO during the Emirates Cup weekend recently and the club has sent us a copy of the footage. The interview has aired and the site has attracted a whole new army of visitors.

So, a bit later on you’ll get the chance to catch up with the views of the illusive Le Boss and, much as the Stig has been unmasked, he will be too. Watch this space for the clip.

Interesting to note that Birmingham manager Alex McLeish got a letter of recommendation from AW (and old Red Nose) to help him land Alex Hleb. Because Belarus are positioned outside the top 70 in Fifa’s world rankings he was initially denied a work permit. Not sure I’d do Brum any bleedin’ favours given our recent well-documneted and injurious ecounters with the thugs from St Andrews. Ho hum.

Of course, England face Bulgaria tonight at Wembley and usually I couldn’t be persuaded to swerve six pints and a vindaloo on a Friday after work (call it work) but I’ll make that a takeaway this evening to keep an eye on Theo’s progress. As an Arsenal-first, England-secondish type of fan I would prefer Theo came out and declared that he doesn’t want to be picked for the Three Lions again after the humiliation of being left out by pug-face Capello but, at 21, who can deny him the right to flourish on the international stage? I’m a bit bitter, see.

Right, new term today so I’m off to pack Josh’s Gunnersaurus kitbag with his lunch. Laters. COYG!
