no worries, we will make it to the next round

i think for CL games,koci is more suitable than djorou as CL doesn't require strength much.plus,he needs more match confidence after the red card and his foul that leads to spurs' third goal.

with denilson there,wilshere can take cesc's job and stay up instead of doing defensive job.this game can be consider as an indicator whether we're ready for life without cesc or not.and nasri needs a rest too after having series of good game.

Added on November 23, 2010, 12:02 pmactually im not worried about whether we can make it to the next round or not.i wrote it like that because those guys have been underperforming so far.give them a rest during mid-week makes me anticipating on the weekend's match.

Agreed with one point of sickx.
Our players need rest. Our last match is on saturday and I don't think our players can regain full fitness on tomorrow match.
We can't possibly start with our strongest starting 11 in all matches in all competitions.
Players are not robots.

understrength team slightly and i hope it doesn't backfire or overconfident after the 6-0 win

I'm fine with rotation of key players, especially when playing away.

Players like Fabregas and Arshavin should be rested. I am surprised that AW does not rest Song; considering Wilshere and Denilson are there.

Arsenal Complete Signing of “New Cristiano Ronaldo”



Arsenal have completed the signing of Ryo Miyaichi, a 17-year-old Japanese wonderkid touted as being the “new Cristiano Ronaldo”.

The signing will go through in December 2010, though the youngster will not be able to make the switch until he is granted a work permit to compete in the English Premier League.

The paperwork for his work permit is reportedly completed and submitted, with Arsenal simply waiting on confirmation before bringing the player to North London.

If his work permit cannot be granted with immediate effect, Arsenal are set to agree a deal with Salamanca, whereby the player would play for the Spanish side until he fulfilled the criteria that made him eligible to compete in the Premier League.

I rather that the media does not dub him as anyone else. Just let him be himself and play.

nice one.. his pace are incredible

Now can offload Diaby. Hopefully Diaby & N52 leaves the club by Jan.

fan story on the podcast:

"...I got to my stop, and some Sp*rs fan started singing the "Van der Faart" song. I asked how old he was, and he said, "48." I said, "I'm 18, I've already seen Arsenal win the League 3 times." He had no response."

Here's some info i got from OptaJoe:

"Arsenal have now gone 14 Champions League away games without a clean sheet. Vulnerable."

Let's hope we'll be able to beat braga and start keeping clean sheets as well....

Yeah, we shoul start again by keeping clean sheet as well, hopefully will improve starting on tonight match,


latest news from the emirates, Clichy, RVP, Arshavin, will rule out for the match tonight, clichy have a problems due to his back bone injury, together with Vermaelen and others who was already in the injury lists. Btw, RVP wasnt so fit and Arshavin has been given some rest, hopefully we can perform without this key players tonight.

My fellow Gooners!
