The international break continues to crawl along at an excruciating rate, but with the news that Robert Pires is currently training with Arsene Wenger and Co in London, it’s now crawling along in a rather ducky manner. Pires, part of The Invincibles and one of my all-time favourite players, is currently out of contract after […]
