Jonas diplomatically calling Arca shite.

 

 

Taken from Sky Sports.

Gutierrez - Arca call-up unlikely

 

Jonas Gutierrez has stoked up the Tees-Tyne derby fires after stating Julio Arca is unlikely to join him in the Argentina squad anytime soon.

 

Newcastle travel to Middlesbrough on Saturday for the clash, which will see Gutierrez face Arca.

 

But while Gutierrez is a regular in the national set-up - Arca has been overlooked ever since moving to England in 2000.

 

"I know Julio, although I haven't talked to him for a few weeks now," said Gutierrez.

 

"He is a player I know fairly well because of his time in Argentina, and he's someone I've kept a little bit of an eye on since I've been in England.

 

"He has been linked with the Argentina international team over here, but that isn't really something that has been happening back in Argentina. It is very difficult to play in the national team for Argentina, especially if you are a midfielder.

 

"There are a lot of very high-quality players in the squad and Julio will have to work very, very hard if he wants to break into that team. He will have to prove he is better than one of the squad players that are already there, and that is going to be very difficult for him to do."

There seems to have been a fair few 2-2s in this fixture over the years. Plus considering its our current favourite scoreline this season might tempt me to stick a quid or two on.

Hope to see Viduka playing in some part of the match. But even if that doesnt happen, I think we should be good enough to see Boro off 2-1 with Owen and Martins scoring a goal each.
