Sorry about the headline, I had a Caught Offside moment - you know, one of those frequent lapses of judgment when some dumb blogger writes a ludicrous and unsavoury headline just to attract web hits.

In fact, it appears nothing could be further from the truth as only this afternoon newspapers across the land have leapt into action, quoting Adebayor eulagising on how "football is more important than money". The quotes certainly suggest that the Togolese striker is more than happy to stay at Arsenal for at least another week. You can read said quotes on the Sky Sports website.

In other news, Cesc Fabregas - the star of Euro 2008 (not Andrei Arshavin - the 27 year old Russian who plays for the mighty Zenit St. Petersburg and disappears out of matches quicker than Ashley Cole  from a revolving door) suggests that Barcelona are very naughty for tapping up Arsenal players in public.

Fabregas mentions 7 players have been verbally and psychologically abused thus far, leading me to the conclusion that Barcelona are without doubt the sado-masochists of the footballing world. They "tap" up players, "foister" their history as a phallic incentive, then "grease" palms with lucrative contracts. If that wasn't bad enough, with their targets metaphorically handcuffed and frothing at the mouth for some hot Catalan action, Barca hunt new virgin prey, leaving their previous captors in a state of premature ejaculatory angst.

Ask yourself? Would you like to be tapped, foistered, greased - then dumped on - by a chairman called Joan?

So here we are, in late June. And when all is said and done, only the contract-less Jens Lehmann and Matthieu Flamini have departed Arsenal Football club, whilst the pre-pubescent Aaron Ramsey and approximately half of Samir Nasri have joined. At half time it's Arsenal 1½ Irresponsible Greedy Agents, Players and Lying Websites 2. Come on Arsene, you can do better!
