What you missed while spending all day playing the WikiGame…

- Harry Redknapp has pretty much blamed Tottenham’s bad performance and the injuries to Luka Modric and Jermaine Defoe on the Stade de Suisse’s artificial turf. If I were less mature, I might say that Tottenham got Wankdorfed.
- For their part, UEFA doesn’t see anything wrong with the turf at the Stade de Suisse and doesn’t have any real reason to investigate it.
- Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri will miss a month after undergoing knee surgery following a meniscal injury he suffered against Liverpool Sunday.

Great! Just what Arsenal needed; another freaking injury. If we ever get all our first-choice players fit at the same time this year, I will actually eat my hat. I’m starting to wish Wenger hadn’t signed an extension just so we could be rid of the injury snakebite and 4 more years of “it’s a young team” that can win but shouldn’t be expected to. I wonder if the club changed the physio staff this summer; clearly the current staff and perhaps the training regimen are setting players up for injury. Aaargh!
You SOB, like I needed something like the WikiGame to further distract me at work.
That game is insanely addictive.
