Did anyone watch the Arsenal press conference this morning? Wenger did his absolute best to avoid talking about transfers and changed the subject as quickly as possible. It was loving embarrassing but he raised some good points too.

Ex-Bulgarian Prime Minister Signs For Second Division Club, Instantly Becomes Oldest Player In Domestic League

Those bemoaning Arsenal’s wafer-thin transfer dalliances might want to spare a thought for fans of Bulgarian second tier side FC Vitosha Bistritsa, whose only signing so far has been a 54-year-old striker with a history of corruption, alleged mafia links and high blood pressure.

That’s right, Vitosha’s big money acquisition in the window is none other than former prime minister of Bulgaria, Boyko Borisov, who has signed professional papers with the club thus making him eligible to play in the “B Football Group” (i.e, the Bulgarian second tier) next season and thus becoming – rather unsurprisingly – the oldest player currently registered in the Bulgarian league system.

It also means that Borisov will also break the record for the oldest professional player in the history of Bulgarian football should he play but one single competitive minute for the Vitosha first-team between now and the end of the season.

Strangely enough, Borisov, who claims to be a striker, has actually played for Vitosha before on several occasions before, though mostly in charity and exhibition games, it must be said. However he did once pip Dimitar Berbatov in a fans’ poll to crown the 2011 Bulgarian Player of the Year.

Unfortunately Borisov subsequently anulled the vote as he was worried that fans may have voted for him in protest over the abysmal state of the national game and not his unquestionable footballing prowess…

And an article from 1996

Not sure there's more to it than that.

Stevie Bacon (official West Ham matchday photographer for 30-odd years) has a story in his book about Paolo di Canio having a very selective fear of flying, sometimes being fine and other times literally crying like a baby and once even demanding to be let off the plane as it was taxiing to takeoff.

It's a pretty good book if you like laddish reminiscences and bitching about Alan Pardew, by the way - disappointingly little actual photography in it, though.

Anyway I was hoping to find one of the old "The Adventures Of Clicker Bacon" cartoon from fanzine Fortunes Always Hiding, written and drawn by Phill Jupitus, but unfortunately the old FAH site seems to have gone all corporate, so instead have this pic taken by the man himself, which makes me feel staggeringly old.

A while back someone on here was talking about Borini's freekicks and I'd not noticed how good his technique is to be honest.

It was me, he scored a quality one for Swansea against us during the promotion run in, I reckon he learned that side foot free kick technique from Drogba when they were at Chelsea.

I mentioned this when there were rumors about Liverpool picking him up.

He's always had great reflexes but had some holes in his game. He had huge guts and self awareness to realize he was never going to improve getting a big paycheck in Mexico so he went to France and joined a newly promoted team where he knew he was going to have to play well. He has grown so much in his two years at Ajaccio, he rushes out now, clears balls far more decisively and his distribution is way better and his reflexes and reactions haven't dulled. He put in a similarly impressive performance last year against PSG and won constant praise from the french press.

Corona is good but his omission from the NT is just another sign of how incredibly retarded Chepo is. (Id also quite like Arsenal to buy him)

If you have a favorite Belgian in the Prem, why not learn their chant: http://www.nieuwsblad.be/sportwereld/cnt/dmf20130819_044 (note: Chadli and De Bruyne do NOT have a chant yet, sorry Nacer and Kevin fans)

Most of them are just drunking guys mumbling. I thought the Mignolet song was the song from the Lion King by the way?
And only a matter of time before Chadli and De Bruyne get a song.

Fake edit: my favorite Belgina in the Prem is all of them.
