It should be easier to find some bit of consolation in the following tidbit, but following the epic 2-week collapse that is Arsenal’s recent run of league form (or lack thereof), we can barely muster a chuckle.
Anyway, some Italian putz is going to be masked. Meanwhile, in case you missed it over the weekend, RvP’s injury goes from being of the 4-5 week variety to that of the 4-5 month ilk.

Horse placenta had the opposite effect that half the Liverpool’s squad’s had then? Damn those faulty horse placentas.
RvP was unfortunately given Barbaro placenta. Hence the worsening of the injury.
The amazing thing about Chiellini’s broken nose was that the referee let him stay on the pitch, didn’t even make him go off to change jerseys, in spite of his shirt being bloody, and bloody on his chin and face. It was a disgraceful job by the referee. Chiellini at one point was sitting there arguing with him in that state, and the referee just went about his business.
