    He was given some extra time off because he was playing for Germany in some tinpot international competition.

    Hmph. And what of Mertesacker? Is his 'injury' just that little gash he received the other day? Surely that's no reason to miss a game? Terry Butcher lost about 4 pints of blood and kept playing.

    Oh, good. It's very nice. I shall be sure recommend the best places, shops, pubs, etc.

    I shall also insist on buying you a pint somewhere.

    He always does this. Gives them extra time off and leaves us short at the start of the season.

    Maybe its worth it, I don't know. ****ing annoying though.

    He also had a baby... Don't know whether he was given some more time off for that or not.

    Well if he'd had a baby, that would be fair enough. However, if it's just his wife having a baby, that's another matter entirely.

    Quite. If it's a choice between Mustafi feeling a bit tight and us not having a functional back line, surely the former is preferable?
