Ahead of the United game on Saturday Sylvester has been talking. Now, I have to say I have about as much interest in what Sylvester thinks about Arsenal as I do in Phil Collins talking about how many takes it took to do the 'du-dum, du-dum, du-dum du-dum dum dum' bit in In the Air Tonight.

If there's one thing Sylvester brings you it's the chance of conceding more goals than an amputees Sunday league team made up of lads with table legs and cinder blocks for feet. He's looking for this game on Saturday to be the kick-start for next season, saying:

It is a good chance to prove to ourselves that we have got what it takes to fight and be on top of the league for next season. Players have to fight for their spots and show the boss they deserve to be there and have the will to defend Arsenal's colours

Now, Arsene has made some dodgy signings down the years. Stefan Malz, Kaba Diawara, Francis Jeffers, and many more, but if he signed a a half ton of knacker's turd, moulded it into the shape of Carlton Palmer and played it at centre-half it wouldn't be as bad as Sylvester.

The idea that he's going to play for us next season makes me want to weep tears of my own spinal fluid. Then inject them straight back into my spine with a rusty, eight inch syringe. Plus the fact he actually used the word 'defend' when he's clearly never heard it before or has any concept what it actually means is downright insulting. Be off with you, foul beast.
