The nerve of some of these prima donna dipsticks is amazing.

In Xavi's defense, it's hard to know what Fabregas told his Catalan
teammates during the World Cup. If he whinged and moaned about Arsenal
fettering him, then you can't really blame the Barca players. And yet,
he'd best be careful. I wouldn't be TOO surprised if both Arsenal and
Barca were both second in their respective leagues come January.

What exactly is getting your goat? He obviously wants to be at
Barcelona but Wenger is desperate to keep him for one last shot at a
title. He'll be in Catalunya by this time next year, at the latest.

Although it strikes me that the boy can't make up his mind. If he
really wanted to be at Barca right now I think he would have been,
despite Wenger's prostestations.

Arsenal are unwilling to sell, understandably for barring any serious
injury he'd still fetch a fair price next season as well, and that's
the only reason he's staying.
