THE CROW By CATHERINE ETOE & RICHARD OSLEY

Chelsea push aside Bayern who, erm, pushed aside Arsenal
|
I
SEE Arsene Wenger has finally come up with a way of challenging
Chelsea to the league title. Keep on playing until August.
Apparently, Arsenal have hit such a fantastic vein of form, their
manager wants the season to run and run. Now, while Id love
to watch my stylish Spurs for a few months more, Im not
sure its the brightest idea the professor has come up with.
Especially given that for most fans, going to Middlesbrough v
Arsenal at the weekend was about as much fun as a Saturday afternoon
shopping spree with Waynes Coleen in Oxford Street, and
almost as expensive.
Youd
have thought hed be glad to see the back of the season anyway
I know a good few Gooners who are.
And who can blame them? The dimwits have not only had to put up
with watching the west-London moneybags pinch their title, theyve
also seen them shove aside a team theirs couldnt beat to
progress further than theirs ever have in the Champions League.
Bit like coming home and finding the bloke next door has not only
stolen your wife, hes wearing your underpants and taking
your dog out for a walk too. Not to worry though, you Gooners
can have a bash at wearing the trousers next season.
Just a shame youll be wearing claret coloured Chelski shirts
too.
YOU
wont believe it. Spurs fans are refusing to sign this columns
Tottenham for Intertoto petition, the high-profile
campaign to get the team into this summers tournament.
Instead, misguided Tottenham supporters I have bumped into say
the team can qualify for Europe on their own.
Ridiculous! If Spurs do make it and its a major if
given they cant remember what Wales looks like, let alone
the rest of Europe it wont be down to them.
It
will be down to Arsenal getting to the FA Cup final with Moan
United.
As the Gunners and Sir Taggarts team are heading for the
Champions League, the cup place would go to a lower-placed league
team possibly Tottenham.
It all means we are left with the ridiculous but amusing situation
where Spurs would benefit from Arsenal beating Blackburn Rovers
in the semi-finals in Cardiff on Saturday.
I can see it now. Half of north London disappears down to Wales
for a weekend beano a nice day out, a few beers and a win
against the Rovers, and yet another Cup Final date in the calendar.
The other half stays at home in their silly skin-tight Spurs shirts
listening to Motson and praying for an Arsenal win. Wouldnt
it have been more dignified to have just signed the petition?
There is still time for Tottenham Intertoto glory.
