Vermaelen will be the next to leave so i dont love him either

[Syn]

He did. It's on Skysports.com

He said:

"He was fantastic for us in the last year, scored lots of goals and I am disappointed he is going, but we have to focus on the next season with Arsenal," Vermaelen told Sky Sports News.

"We have to fight and I am confident we have a squad to win something.

"We start Saturday and this is all clear now, Robin is leaving and we have to move on."

Can't find that quote any where.

Ollie making shit up?

Hes so often the beacon of truth

The fabric of the sport is tainted, everything about it has become deplorable. It was made even more poignant to me after watching the Olympics, which has an innocence and beauty to it that Football just doesn't have anymore. We're all mugs really for investing so much money and time into this irrational obsession.

the olympics was definitely a wake up call. of course athletes are no angels themselves and the best sprinters have ridiculously large egos pretty much every american - bar tyson gay - and bolt going on and on about being a legend, which defeats the point really. we all know about the ongoing battle against drugs but faith appears to have been restored in the event over the the past few weeks.

but it took me out of the bubble, following yet another great wimbledon and reminded me and probably many others that other sports exist and a vast majority are far more closer to who I am than a footballer. i am completely flat about the start of the season, i don't want to hear a pundit talk or read any god damn transfer 'gossip'.

all of the things we love about football can be found lower down the leagues and whilst the football may not be that great mostly, it is the other elements that make it seem far more attractive right now. i read the 'piece' on rvp in the standard on the way home and was disgusted by the constant talk about success and money.

Watch the video interview he gave to SSN, if you can. He says it there.

Ah, apologies then.

Did it sound like Vermaelen was having a dig or was it just a general 'kthxbai'?
