Hello all, on a somewhat bizarre note, I was on the Arsenal official website this morning looking at the fixture list for this coming season. Anyways I headed over to the squad list, and Roma’s Daniele De Rossi was listed as a ‘midfielder’ carrying the number 13, that has been free since Alex Hleb’s mid-life crisis. After making sure I didn’t miss anything newsworthy (like Arsenal solving all of their midfield issues at once), I went back to take a screenshot of the gaffe to put it up here, but the error had already been seen too. Either this was an Arsenal.com employee jumping the gun (a man can dream) or a computer savvy supporter remains to be seen, either way, whether you knew it or not, there were a solid 15-30 minutes this morning where all was good, our slight midfield had a backbone; a dirty ballwinner was backing up Cesc and setting up the attack. But alas every dream comes to an end.
