Monday

I’m still pretty angry about the weekend. Arsene decided to play Vela in front of me on Saturday. At home to Fulham of all teams. I’m far too good to be warming the bench, and I made my feelings clear before kick-off. Carlos was terrible too and got hauled off after 65 mins. I thought I played really well when I came on. The only reason I didn’t score was that the rest of my team “mates” aren’t on the same level as me. I’m in my own world here at Arsenal. The fans go on about Henry and Bergkamp but I’m the true legend. It’s only a matter of time before they realise.

Arsene wanted us all in early this morning to do some shot training. Obviously I don’t need to practice but it’s good to show the young guns how it’s done. I’ve just bought a pair of pink Converse hi-top trainers and I decided to wear them this morning. Everyone knows I’m cool. RVP (Van Persie) is jealous and said that I looked like a gimp, but I know that I’m cool. Me and Ema (Eboue) hang out together. He appreciates how cool I am. He knows I’m doing him a favour by being his mate. We don’t like anyone else in the squad but that suits us fine.

Tonight me and Ema are going to play Fifa round at mine. We’d go to his but he only has a PS2. I won’t let him get a PS3 because he’s not cool enough. I have a PS3 and an Xbox 360 – god I’m cool. I'll go and pick him up in my black BMW M5. He'll have to sit in the back though. I’ll probably get Ema to prank call Toure and Walcott, and I’ll chat to some hot babes on MSN Messenger.

We’ll have a light training session first thing tomorrow and we have a game away at West Brom at night. I’m sure that I’ll be first on the team sheet. No worries.

Peace out. N.
