International terror; Senderos unharmed

The terror show that is international football raised its head inSwitzerland this afternoon as the Swiss captain was seriously injured.   Fans of club football across Europe were reminded once again of Arsene Wenger’s comment that international managers were like car thieves: they take what you own, wreck it, return it to you and expect you to repair it for next time.

On a parochial level Arsenal supporters can breath a sigh of relief – one match is over and no one yet is injured.  We have been lucky not to have players such as Sagna and Clichy playing.  And on this occasion of the first match only one of the two Arsenal players in the Swiss squad (Senderos) was required to perform.

Let’s hope we remain as lucky for the rest of the terror show.
