Let's talk about Cesc, baby...

The BBC have today named this chant as the second best of 2006-2007.

To the tune of Salt n Pepa's "Let's Talk About Sex"... Let's talk about Cesc baby, lets talk about Flam-in-i, let's talk about Theo Walcott, Freddie Ljungberg and Henry, let's talk about Cesc.

Brilliant.

In other news William Gallas has been named captain of Arsenal Football Club. This seems to have very much divided opinion amongst Gooners. I have to declare interests and say that I am quite pleased with this. I feel Gilberto is a little too timid to lead and that Kolo Toure and certainly Jens Lehmann much too jumpy to be captain. Also, Gilberto's record as captain is not near as good as people believe it to be while Toure showed in the Carling Cup fianl a mad Jens style moment of lunacy that surely removed his chance of being made captain this year.

Gallas on the other hand has declared that only 1st will do.... and has this summer won the two trophies available to the club as captain... leading a young Arsenal to beat the Ajax in very trying circumstances.

Compare this to Thierry Henry and that embrace of Teddy Sheringham after the histrionics of Marlon Harewood's late goal against us.

More soon. As irony would have it I am today completing a paper looking at modern leadership... which is so pressing that it will not today allow more of my thoughts about Gallas' captaincy .

Is this the same William Gallas who, if your recent poll is to be believed, is regarded as a 'complete tosser'?

Also, are you suggesting Henry was never quite captain material?

oh dear... another anoymous loudmouth... the value of comments can be understood by one's own willingness to stand by them...

Gallas had himself misquoted from his website... a seriously edited version appeared in the papers which I mentioned at the time http://arsenalrumours.blogspot.com/2007/07/william-gallas-chronicles.html

Also, if moronic supporters were the basis for club decisions the owners of Manchester United would be lynched... Sven would manage the red side of Manchester... and people would have "Torres" AIG names on backs... rather than take the morons seriously... one should simply laugh...

At Arsenal FC one can gauge success only on trophies... the Henry era while exciting with two finals won nil... it was an experiment that did not work... we moved on.... when Roy Keane stopped winning trophies he decided to leave and go win in Scotland... same idea

Great chant!

Let's talk about Cesc baby, lets talk about Flam-in-i, let's talk about Theo Walcott, Freddie Ljungberg and Henry, let's talk about Cesc.

Hmmm . . . we'll need some new lyrics here.
How about:
Let's talk about Cesc baby, lets talk about Flam-in-i, let's talk about Theo Walcott, Kolo Toure and van Persie, let's talk about Cesc.

That's my effort anyway.
