Nobody thought of getting Henry back? At least better than allowing him to join Man City. Quality is still there, good back up. He can act like the old Bergkamp. A perfect role model for the youngster

Is sad to see Vieira gonna wear Man City jersey, but life goes on. They have to fight for them self.I think Mancini will pursue Henry next. By that time, really heart break we played against them

Song from Cameroon la

Lucky the devils drew the game. Is still positive to us. Cheers. 83 points. Wenger I trust

The midfield looks dull without Fab and Song. Ramsey wasn't capable to play first team yet. Denilson does not look good either. Diaby looks kinda isolated and he tend to dribble the ball up than building up the attack. I kind of worry with Bolton now. Their morale had changed. We have to fix it

ARSENE WENGER has told his Arsenal players they have 18 months to convince him to stay on as manager for the rest of his life.

The Frenchman's current contract runs out at the end of next season.

And Wenger, 60, has admitted he is taking his time before making a decision on his future.

The Gunners have not won any silverware since lifting the FA Cup in 2005.

But Wenger, who took over in September 1996, insisted trophies will not help make his mind up.

His main concern is the club remains in good hands.

He told French TV if he signs a new contract it will be for the long-term and he would not look to work elsewhere.

Wenger added: "I am giving myself a bit of time to think.

"What is important is that the club is in good hands, whether they are mine or someone else's.

"Whether I personally leave on a positive or negative note is a little bit less important."

Arsenal are still in the title hunt despite a frustrating 2-2 draw with Everton in blizzard conditions.

They closed the gap on Chelsea to just three points, having played the same number of games as the Premier League leaders.

But the Gunners are sweating over midfielder Denilson.

The Brazilian was carried off after collapsing in the second half and will have an X-ray to determine whether it is linked to the back injury which has troubled him this season.

Wenger said: "Denilson is a little bit mysterious at the moment.

"It's an intercostal problem. We will have to have X-rays.

"He can walk quite normally - we have to see if it is a broken rib or a deeper problem with his lung. I don't know yet if it's related to his back problem. It could be."

After Denilson fell to the ground, Everton almost went 3-1 ahead when Tim Cahill released James Vaughan only for keeper Manuel Almunia to deny him.

While home fans may have wanted Cahill to put the ball into touch, Wenger insisted he was not bothered Everton played on.

He added: "No, I wasn't upset. I said to Denilson afterwards 'If that happens to you, you have to commit a handball.' You cannot ask Everton to stop their counter-attack and not to score."

With Cameroon ace Alex Song away on African Nations Cup duty and Denilson an injury worry, Wenger admitted he may go after a midfielder. The Arsenal boss said: "I'm looking.

"I said many times I have an open eye on the market and, if the right opportunities come up, we will do something. But, at the moment, I must say I'm still only looking."

Wenger also revealed his concerns about losing starlet Fran Merida.

The Spanish midfielder, 19, will be out of contract at the end of the season and can talk to other clubs about a free transfer in the summer.

A host of Spanish clubs are watching Merida with Atletico Madrid leading the chase.

Wenger admitted: "We've not progressed there. I am concerned, yes."

How serious is this? Tactic or for real

not a bad suggestion. I think resign Flamini will be better if AW really want to play Sol. Current squad is just nice. If can resign Flamini. that will be good to cover Song.

I disagree. I was kinda impressed with Eastmond's performance. Never expect he will start. For a 17 year old kid playing away from home, I must say this is good performance dude

We always bounce back against Bolton. Team is good but I don't see Eduardo's form is coming back but Rosicky's form had been superb over the past few games. The team at need to gain points from the home matches. I predict we might lose some games. Wenger's team cannot really deal with pressure effectively. Remember the 3 continous Liverpool games past few season and the 2 straight Chelsea game back to Pires Henry era. The team must minimize the lost.

What happen to this thread? Suddenly everybody came out to bash the team asking Wenger to be replaced. Wenger cannot be replaced. I still think Arsene is better than SAF despite SAF have lots of trophies to prove he is the best.

Comment from the previous match,
I do not see Campbell is that weak. He was doing a decent job. Why bash him? It was Senderos, Fabianski and Silvestre made mistakes. I am now lost confident in Fabianski. Sorry bro.

We need a DM. We missed Song. It also proves that Denilson is not capable of playing in Song's place effectively.

Why feel sad when we are not getting trophies in the recent years? Failure to win trophies means the young squad is growing, not there yet but their performance is improving a lot in every season. Is just that our time is not here yet,

Is another youngster vs experienced Premier League team. Experienced says it all.

Delap is the hand of the God but I still think is the GK error.

I can see that every first team player include Cesc is playing in his Energy-Saving mode to prepare for the big run.

I think getting Smalling is a good move. Who else can we consider? Hangeland? It is very obvious that we need backup as Djourou and Senderos are not around. Silvestre, I gave up on him since his time in Man Utd but I still believe he still can be a decent defender and same goes to Campbell as we cannot put high hopes to him.

We need an energetic and an always fit youngster. It is still best that we don't rely too heavy in Silvestre and Campbell as backup

I was expecting a lost. If you ask me why, I will tell you that the team wanted to be underdogs. It happen especially before big matches like Man Utd. I got the feeling of beating them this week

I still have confident on Campbell. He is still decent player to me. If he stays back and doesn't attack, it will be more than enough to stop Rooney. I got the feeling Wenger will play TV this weekend. Anyway, it used to be my dream partner defender, Gallas and Campbell. Their partnership should bond quickly. Campbell is TV like defender

I agree with you bro. He is like Diaby. He has everything a striker needs.He just need to improve a lil, he can be a monster

Keown on Rooney
Lehman once said after he left Arsenal that the striker he most feared is Rooney after playing so many seasons in EPL.
Keown reckons that only Campbell can stop Rooney-at his best. I think due to Campbell playing style, with the help of Gallas. It will be fine plus Song's cover. The team need to mark their wings as well. Nani and Valencia. One skillful another very physical

Why predict our team lost? I am pretty sure that we will come out with a positive result. Worse case Draw. No doubt that the injuries had weaken the team and made the playing style and formation more obvious so that they can mark.
Don't forget where are we playing. Our own homeground not OT. I think the team have more than enough support and fitness to win over Man Utd. Don't forget we are underdog and Man Utd is having a tough schedule too

I disargee with you. They relied on Rooney but by marking Rooney hisself is not enough. Their are still our concern

Isolate Rooney is like leaving a hungry tiger on a plain field. Will bite you anytime

I think teh only way to conquer Man Utd is to pawn their midfield just like what they did last season. Is the battle of midfield. Fletcher and Carrick are pawned. I can say we are already half way to the victory. Denislon and Song must do the job. 1mistake from them and we are doom. Just liek Diaby's own goal
