Fulham Win, Leave Cesc Alone, Where is Eduardo?

Hello everyone,

I am finally fit again to play football, its been like 3 month since I last played a football match, getting back on the field is some feeling, even though it does not mean anything. May be thats the reason my body is paining today after such a long gap, well enough of me.

Great win against Fulham I should say, not only because it was very difficult and we were outplayed most of the time but for me a win is a win, no matter how ugly it is, this win show that our lads are learning to grind out result. I cannot imagine people saying that we did not deserve to win, we scored the goal and they did not(thanks to our no. 3 GK).

Good thing about the Fulham game was offcourse Vito Manonne Superman saves and one moment of brilliance from Cesc and RVP, that is what sets them apart from ordinary footballer's and that is why they are special.

I would request all the Arse fan to get of the back of Cesc Fabregas, with all the bull shit they been talking about him, the reason why Cesc look disjointed is because he is being marked by not one but 2 players at time, every team know that Cesc is the man who is the focal point of Arsenal attack and he is supported by Diaby, and everyone know that Diaby will never create chances for anyone except for himself, if he manages to get pass 4 or 5 defenders which usually is not possible. Once Denilson, Nasri and Tomas is fully fit I cannot see Diaby making the starting eleven and then Cesc alone would not have the resposibility of creating something because Nasri and Tomas are very much capable of creating something out of nothing, If we can remember Nasri was the man who took Cesc place when he was injured and did the job nicely.

Now, Arshavin was tired and not fully fit we could see that, so I cannot say much about him.

Clichy ! What happened to him? All the opposition attack are coming from the left hand side of Arsenal defence, its like everyone is targeting him as the weak link in the Arsenal defence, whatever it is, I think Arsene should look at it. I could blame Arshavin and Diaby for not giving him enough protection, specially Diaby because it is his job to be helping his LB to be true, when Denilson was fit he helped Clichy very well in this new formation. If we can remember the game against Citeh as soon as Denilson was subtituted and Diaby was asked to play in his position, he never helped Clichy and from that position alone Citeh scored three goals, Diaby is only interested in going forward I cannot see him helping the team defensively.

Olympiacos next I don't know much about them, but I can see Theo making the bench and yes where is Eduardo? I almost forgot he was not even on the bench against Fulham. Well see what Arsene has to say about his Absence in todays press conference. I hope it's not an injury to DUDU.

Let me know if you like the post through your comments and suggestion.

Goal Highlight

Van Persie goal

Heya! I am Back.

Hello everyone,

I am extremely sorry for not posting for couple of days as I was on a road trip with my friends, I was relying on my mobile internet to keep me updated but where we were, mobile network was the problem, but I am back now with some good news and bad news.

Good news is Arshavin is back and the bad news is we will face Liverpool in the carling cup for the fourth round, this is some test for our kids. But anyways about today match, I really expect Arsenal to win by couple of goals.

Team news, I have got a feeling that Tomas will start in place of Diaby with Cesc and Song in the midfield, we can expect the same back four, you know who?, the interesting is the front three, who will partner RVP, is it going to be Arshavin and Nikki B or is it Nikki B and Eduardo.

So let me know what will be your team and prediction for todays game.

Arsenal 2 W.B.A 0

Mexican youngster Carlos Vela came off the bench to inspire Arsene Wenger's young Gunners to a 2-0 Carling Cup victory over 10-man West Brom at the Emirates Stadium.

The 20-year-old marked his return from an ankle injury when his shot set up Sanchez Watt for the opener in the 68th minute and then added a tap-in after Mark Randall's clever chip came back off the crossbar.

After a positive start the Coca-Cola Championship leaders were up against it after former Gunner Jerome Thomas - who twice won the FA Youth Cup while at Arsenal - was sent off after 37 minutes for a needless slap on Jack Wilshere.

Wenger had once again given youth a chance, his team with an average age of just over 20, while also bringing in experienced defender Philippe Senderos - starting for the first time since May 2008 after a loan spell at AC Milan - and veteran Mikael Silvestre captained the side.

Senderos - who could have joined Everton during the transfer window - had an early chance when he headed over at the near post following a corner from the left.

With Watt and French teenager Gilles Sunu Arsenal certainly had plenty of pace in attack, while Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey - both with plenty of first-team experience already - provided the trademark quick passing through the midfield.

Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, 19, made the first meaningful contribution on his debut when punching a corner clear at the near post and he was stretching in the 15th minute as Robert Koren's angled 20-yard drive flew just wide.

Watt came within inches of opening his Arsenal account when he stabbed Wilshere's cutback goalwards, only for the ball to bounce agonisingly off the inside of the post and into Dean Kiely's grateful arms.

The match had suddenly sparked into life, West Brom midfielder Simon Cox the next to test Szczesny with a low drive.

The Pole produced another fine stop to turn Koren's shot behind, which was creeping in.

The youngsters were rattled - and Kerrea Gilbert hacked the ball off the line after a corner caused panic in the Arsenal six-yard box.

Arsenal responded well, with Wilshere again driving at the Baggies rearguard.

On 31 minutes, Wilshere again made space for himself with another positive run, and his 20-yard shot was just off-target.

West Brom swung a free-kick into the area which Szczesny dropped under pressure at the far post from Leon Barnett, but fortunately Kieran Gibbs - who had played in the Champions League semi-final defeat to Manchester United last season - was on hand to clear.

West Brom continued to look dangerous on the break, with Thomas' run down the left forcing Szczesny to make an important block.

However, the 26-year-old was shown a straight red card in the 37th minute after he clashed with Wilshere, before then slapping the midfielder in the face while he was on the floor.

Cox also went into referee Lee Mason's book for his protests.

Cox headed over for the first real chance of the second half when well placed in the six-yard box before Wenger made a change in the 58th minute.

Mexican striker Vela and Randall came on, replacing Sunu and Francis Coquelin.

The game continued to be scrappy, as the visitors closed down the space quickly.

It took a moment of Premier League quality from Vela to finally help break the deadlock.

The 19-year-old showed great close control to create space for a shot from the edge of the penalty area, which Kiely palmed wide, and Watt followed up to smash in his first senior Arsenal goal.

The Mexican then got the goal he deserved after 75 minutes.

Randall's 20-yard chip came back off the underside of the bar - and Vela was alert enough to get in between Barnett and Kiely before knocking the ball over the line.

The Baggies missed the chance to pull a goal back with 10 minutes to go when substitute Chris Wood fired wide at the far post - which just about summed up their night.

Fun Time At Arsenal.

Well, the Carling Cup is back and we all know what to expect from it, young guns of Arsenal FC will again show the what an excellent future the club have. And all the fans get to see some great confidence from these young players and the way they all play is fantastic, they all now how to play football Wenger Style. I cannot really figure out how to praise these group of players but anyways, all I can say is prepare yourself for a great match today.

Good news is Carlos Vela is back from his injury and offcourse Ramsey, Wilshere and Gibbs will play with a CB pairing of Big Phil and Silvestre, Oh wait the squad has just been announced

My Prediction - 3-0 to the Young guns.

Finally! A Clean Sheet

Great Performance from Arsenal against Wigan, We all knew we will win the game, but , the real question was with how many goals and whether we will keep a clean sheet.

Yes we scored four goals and yes we finally kept a clean sheet, great performance from Everyone, but two player were a standout performer for me first is Vermaelen Offcourse who scored two brilliant goal, and the next is Eboue,Its funny how things change in a year?, this was the same fixture where he was mercilessly booed by few section of home fans(I am still disgusted by that booing) and last night he put in a great performance, only his finishing was not good enough(as always), remaining two goals scored scored by Eduardo(I know its Eboue's) by some good work from Clichy and and the next by our captain who looked to have picked up a knock before scoring, thank god he have a whole week to recover from this, if he got a knock.All in all a good performance from Arsenal.

My Man of the match : Vermaelen (I think 100% people will vote for him)

In other news, British media is trying hard to create another cheating row against Eboue for his delibarate handball. But I cannot see them succeeding this time.

Henry has criticised Ade THE LYING CUNT for his antics and rightly so.

Next up Carling Cup, will get to see Jack Wilshere play this time, and to be true I cannot see WBA winning this match.

Guess Who's Back? Back Again...

Yes you all guessed it right, We are back at the Emirates, I was wondering for how long will be playing away fixtures back to back. Anyways, In the news,

Fab showed the gash on his ankle to The Sun and he thanked Adebayor and Song says "Kolo is talking bullshit" on telegraph, and Finally Eboue "I am happy with Ade ban". Look like all our African player's have decided that their friendship is all done and dusted with Ade THE LYING CUNT. All of the them have a similar reason, "dis-respect".

Well let's not talk about that bitch otherwise this post will take couple of days to end. Good news is Arsenal is back to the Grove after few difficult weeks away.

Next up Wigan, thier manager have the entire team to pick that means no injury trouble at Wigan.

And whats up with Arsenal? huhhhhhhh.

9 first team player's injured, sounds familiar isn't it, Well that's Arsenal.

But the good news is RVP has been past fit to start against Wigan, and the bad news is the remaining 8 players are still out, I wonder what is wrong with Theo Walcott, I heard he started training last week. But where is he?

Any way I want you all to select your starting eleven, which you think will start tomorrow.

Let me give you a hint, one player is definitely going to start tomorrow and his name is Abou Diaby, people I helped you all with one name, predict the remaining players.

My prediction for tomorrow's fixture 3-0 to the gunners.

till then bye bye.

What Is Wrong With Arsenal Fans?

Not a vintage Arsenal Performance by anymeans but a win is a win, I have been reading lot of blogs recently, I do read comments on those blog and to be true I feel its really disgusting how negative we fans have become.

Yes, it was not a great performance somehow we managed a win, is this not enough. When we lose people say that look at Chelski, Manure they get win even though they do not play well and this what Arsenal have to learn to grind out result in difficult situation. This is what our boys did last night and I am very happy with the performance. I saw Chelsea play they were shit but somehow they won against Porto and everyone is praising them, so what's the problem with Arsenal win?, Infact we were the better team in the second half.

So I would sugest we should take positive's from a win no matter how we win it.

Ade-Bye-Whore Banned

Ade- THE LYING CUNT has been banned for 3 match for stamping on RVP and he is expected further ban for his celebration

FA official statement "A Regulatory Commission today considered the charge of violent conduct issued against Manchester City’s Emmanuel Adebayor under the fast-track disciplinary procedure, following an incident with Robin van Persie during their fixture against Arsenal on the 12 September.

Taking into consideration Mr Adebayor’s acceptance of the charge of violent conduct the Regulatory Commission have ordered that he serve a three-match suspension from all football, commencing Thursday 17 September.

A separate charge of improper conduct will be considered at a later date.

Liege 2 Arsenal 3

Arsenal were 2 down inside 5 min thanks to a mistake by Eduardo and then William gallas gave away a Penalty, throughout the first half Arsenal were all over the pitch and then at the stroke of the half time thanks to some good work from Diaby who fed Bendtner, who intern slide the ball through the legs of Liege goalkeeper.

In the second half it was all arsenal, lot of possesion but no pentration, then from a free kick Vermaelen scored in the 79 min but there was a definite handball by Song inside the penalty box and finally in the 81 min Eduardo somehow scored with his knee from a Fabregas corner,

Champions League Preview

Well, my house is set as I am alone tonight called up few freinds, at my place for the opening day match of Arsenal CL fixture against Standard Liege kick off is at 12:15 am here in India. I am really expecting Arsenal to win(as always) tonight with ease, but looking at the difficulty faced by Manure and Chelski to beat their opponent, I am expecting a difficult match, and injury to RVP, Almunia and Denilson does not help either.

But the good news is we are expecting Eduardo(yeah UEFA sucks) and Rosicky to start together in a match after some 20 month, let hope this work out good for both this player, we all saw how good Tomas is even though he is not 100%. Vito Manone is confirmed to start for the first time(lets all pray he do not have to make a save). After the back to back defeat against you know who. Arsene will want to kick start the CL in fantastic way.

Looks like Nikki B will be granted with his wish to lead the line in tonights match with DUDU on the left and Tomas on the right with the midfield of Cesc, Song and err Diaby, I am expecting the back four to be same even though Clichy is not in his best of form I cannot see Wenger dropping him, considering Manone is starting the match.

Chelsea was shit last night but still somehow they won, at the end of the day thats what matter's, this is something our boys have to learn, getting the result even in the difficult situation. Hoping for a good match tonight.

UEFA - Accept Defeat In Eduardo Case.

Good News gooners, UEFA has to overturn 2 match ban against Eduardo for Diving against Celtic to win a penalty.

UEFA realeased a statement on Official site ,

“The UEFA Appeals Body today accepted the appeal lodged by Arsenal FC against the two-match suspension handed to striker Eduardo.

“Following examination of all the evidence, notably the declarations of both the referee and the referees' assessor, as well as the various video footage, it was not established to the panel's satisfaction that the referee had been deceived in taking his decision on the penalty.

“Therefore, the decision of the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body of 1 September, in which the player was suspended for two UEFA club competition matches, is annulled.”

Lets hope DUDU forget this incident and do what he does best? score goals. I am so happy for him

King Kolo - Must Be P**ed At Adebayor

Well the image above says it all, that he was certainly not happy with Ade- THE LYING CUNTS behaviour, he was quick to pick him up and he did not celebrate for any goals scored against Arsenal, he will be a legend for me I will always want him to do well against any team(except for Arsenal).

I hate people when they say that Kolo lost it when Sol left Arsenal and he also left for money, hell yeah he left for money no doubt but we have to ask ourselves was he in wenger's plan anymore. NO!, did he ever accused Arsenal or its fan for his departure NO! then why all this criticism for Kolo?

I know he passed his best, even when he was not at his best he gave everything he have, Kolo was know as the most commited person in training, what else can we say about him? no matter what people say about him, for me he will be among the best, along with the like of Henry, Adams, Dennis, if not above them.

We Arsenal fans are so hungry for silverware, so much negativity at Arsenal that we forgot that one of a legend has left us. I don't know what this post means, why I am writing it? does it make sense? I don't care, one thing I always wanted to share, that I was sad when Kolo left but even I was one of the fans who was so involved in failure of couple season that I forgot him. So this one is for you Kolo, always in our heart.

Ade-Bye-Whore Is Set For Punishment

We can all see it clearly that Ade- THE LYING CUNT stamped on RVP face intentionally and who better to tell you than the victim himself.

"I am sad and disappointed by my former team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor's mindless and malicious stamp on me during today's match.

"We are both professional footballers and I know that the game is physical, I too have made hard and sometimes mis-timed challenges but never with the intention of hurting an opponent. He set out to hurt me today.

"I knew he was aiming for a collision because he changed the angle of his body to allow contact to be made. He moved backwards when his natural momentum would have taken him forward. I find that deeply disrespectful. He has shown a real lack of class today, to me and the fans".

This is what Ade has to say about the incident.

“I’m trying to kick the ball," he said. "I feel sorry for him. I said to him at the end of the game, I’m sorry.” Van Persie told the official Arsenal website that no such apology was made. Which again prove's how a f**** lying cunt he is. He says he was trying to kick the ball but the ball was no where near.

FA are set to look into both incident on monday confirmed Ian Watmore, the governing body's cheif executive.

City$ 4 Arsenal 2

Offcourse dis-appointing result, but I cannot say who to be blamed for the result, its not that we played bad.

First half

We started better, had all the possession and infact it almost paid, Gallas headed over the bar, instead on 18th minute from a free kick Richards header hits the post and then Almunia's back of the head and goal, unfortunate isn't it but I believe Almunia was slow to react he should have cleared the header, after conceeding the first goal we looked shaky, we were finding it hard to get the ball to Cesc and he was closely marked by Dejong and Barry. and Cesc don't look 100 %, he was looking very tired, so first half eventually passed by Arsenal trailing at the break,

Second half

Again we started with intent, with a point to prove we started to trouble Shay Given, he pulled some very good save's, if not for him we should have got one back early on in the second half, then came Rocisky(Welcome back Tomas) on for Denilson, I believe that is where it all went wrong, I thought Diaby is going to be the one, Denilson was not spectacular in the match but he is more defensive and Rosicky is very much capable of playing on left. we pulled one back thanks to the brilliance of RVP, from then on it was all Arsenal, time and again shay given came to their rescue, and then out of nowhere came the second goal for City when bellamy ran the lenght of the pitch pass it to richards who beat Song and passes to Bellamy, who eventually score's, something similar happened with the third goal and a Cunt scored followed by a stupid celebration and similar fourth goal scored by Wright Philips, the similarity between all these goals were they all came from counter attack, which Arsenal is suppose to do.

First goal was Almunia's fault, second goal is because of Clichy because he gave the ball away and Diaby is the biggest reason we conceeded the second goal, can you believe it he was jogging back when Richards was one on one with Song it was suppose to be Diaby tracking back for Clichy not Song. Third and fourth goal came simply because there was no one standing in the middle of the park except Song, that is the reason why I thought Taking Denilson off was not such a great Idea.

We pulled one back through Rosicky and even after that we should have scored 3 goals only for woodwork and Given to deny Arsenal anything from the Match, City has 5 shots on target and 4 goals to show for it where as Arsenal have some 20 shots and only 2 goals.

Now Ade - THE LYING CUNT kicked Cesc, kicked Song, elbowed Gallas, stamped on RVP, these are all bookable offence and when he was an Arsenal player he use to get booked for such incident, and his celebration was awful running the length of the pitch only to anger the Arsenal fan, to be true I was hoping some fan get on the pitch and kick that Cunt(I don't mean it though) Kolo Toure earned my respect he was angry at Ade - THE LYING CUNT for his Celebration as he quickly came back to stop THE LYING CUNT. I do not care what will happen to him, whether there will be some ban on him but one thing I cannot wait to see that A*****le come to Emirates.

Ade-Bye-Whore

picture courtesy Goonertalk

STFU Ade, I had little respect for him even though he is an A****le, I always tried to leave him alone and respect him for the hard work he did when he actually wanted to play for Arsenal.

Ade said, "Arsenal have a lot of fans who are not fans,

"If you boo your player every weekend, I am very sorry, you are not true fans.

"Arsenal have fans from America and Jamaica. Today they are Arsenal fans, tomorrow they will be Liverpool fans and after tomorrow they will be Manchester United fans."

Well you pathetic, disrespectful moron, let me tell I am from Bombay, 12 years ago I was a gooner and 12 years on I am still a gooner and 12 years later I will still be a gooner. Players come and go but we fan stays for ever. I really wish Vermaelen breaks his teeth today. just like Diaby did to Terry with his foot where he swallowed his tongue, I felt really bad for Terry when that accident happened but trust me this will not be the case if something similar happen to Ade-bye-whore.

And one more thing, he just moved to the no.1 ranking in my most hated list above Ashley and Spuds

Man City v Arsenal - Preview and Prediction

Welcome back Arsenal,

Gosh International week just don't pass easily feels like month, but anyways we are back in business and I am expecting a positive result from our trip to blue side of Manchester. To be true Man CIty are good but just not good enough to resist Arsenal attacking threat, so what if Arshavin is injured, we still have Cesc, RVP, Bendtner and watch out for Bendtner he will have point to prove to Ade-bye-whore. And he scored couple of excellent goal for Denmark, his goal against Portugal was brilliant.

My prediction for this game. Man City 0 Arsenal 2

I know we have injury problem but ManCity will be missing Robinho and Tevez as well.
Considering the way ManCity played their last three games, trust me apart from their goals they were shit. If we look at the number of chances Wolves and Portmouth created but failed to score, We can all imagine what Arsenal can do if given that many chances to score. So an away win looks on the card. And I really want Arsenal to give them a footballing lesson, I still cannot forget that defeat last time around.

Team prediction.

Almunia
Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Clichy

Song

Denilson Cesc

Bendtner RVP Diaby

I would love to see DUDU start but that ain't happening, anyways Diaby is playing well(I know he scored an own goal but overall he played well), this new formation suits his style of play.

And yes!, that all, I expect Tomas to make the bench but not Theo.

Let me know your Team and Prediction.

Boring Boring Internationals

Hello everyone,

Well another international week another player injured in Arsenal camp, this time its our little Russian, What happened to him?, he aggrevated his groin injury and will be out for 3 bloody weeks, that means he will miss the game against money city, Liege and Wigan, Arsene Wenger is furious and rightly so, Arshavin was carrying a groin injury and this kind of injury takes atleast couple of week to heal so he was not 100 percent, We really needed him against ManCity. I know we have sufficient cover for him but we do not have another Arshavin. His quality is unmatched.

Now for the good news, Rosicky and Walcott both are back, I belive they both will start on the bench(surprise me Arsene and start Rosicky). Infact rosicky played some 50+ min in Czech 7-0 thrashing of San Marino.

Finally Eduardo, I watched the game last night between England and Croatia, yes Croatia were not good enough last night, but they way english fan were booing DUDU everytime he touched the ball really made me sick to my stomach, I cannot really understand why? and he was again denied a penalty by the ref which I believe was a clear penalty.

Finally I am posting this video of a legend(DB10), all I can say is "Arsene bring him back". Trust me you will not such an audacious goal every week.

Arsenal Will Win The League...

Tony Adams is one of my favourite Arsenal player, offcourse he was a good footballer, but his passion for the club the desire to play well whenever he pulled of the red and white jersey and his undying loyalty towards the club is unmatched, now a days it is hard to find a player of such quality, but Tony thinks that Arsenal are a bit short to win the league.

"They're very close," Adams told Sky Sports News.

"I think Arsene wants to prove everyone wrong and win the league with this group of players, and I hope he does."Like I say, I hope they prove me wrong as well. I hope the kids come through and win the title this year. I do think they are still short."

So I am a confident that we can win the title because whenever Tony thinks we are short we come up good, take e.g. of Vermaelen, Tony said he is not ready for the premier league but we all know how well he turned up.

In other new's Cesc has been speaking about our team mentality, not like getting bullied by anyone, which is good.

And yes, Theo is fit, I don't know for how long but thats a good news, Nasri should be back by next month and lets hope no one get injured in their respective International, and I wish Rosicky starts and bang in couple of goals, I wish.

Nothing else going on, I have to go to break my fast and as it 's the holy month of Ramadan, I always pray for Arsenal in this holy month.

suggestion and comments are most welcome.

Proof Eduardo is not a diver

This video prove's that DUDU is no cheat, thanks to Football Fancast for this Video

No News !

Good morning Gooners,

News today, nothing!. All the papers are about International matches and the same old Eduardo ban. And yes Chelsea 2 transfer window ban, funny isn't it, considering they will loose some important player's from Africa this January. Let's see how they cope with that, I will not be surprised if this ban is lifted by FIFA. And they resolve the issue with some fine, What am I doing?, talking about Chelsea.

Well, In other news Rooney, ya you all know him, he say he is not a diver and he never cheats, well the less I say about his comment the better it is. Because I seriously don't believe in lengthy blog.

And yes congratulation to Nikki B and Denilson for their new contract, keep playing well you guys all the best and one more thing I really want to watch Rosicky play this weekend, though he is yet to make any appereance for gunners this season, he is still been selected for his national side I don't know why? whatever it is I hope he don't get injured again.

Nothing else to write about, well a long and boring weekend awaits gooners. TC

Arsenal v UEFA - who will win?

Arsenal are determined to take Eduardo case very seiously, they have released a statement, which strongly state that they won't let UEFA get out of this easily.

The club statement says

"The Club is in receipt of Uefa’s reasoned decision in relation to the charge against Eduardo.

We strongly believe that the decision taken is deeply flawed and not based on any forensic review of the video evidence available.

There are obvious errors and inconsistencies in Uefa’s judgment and we intend to appeal".

Now what will happen to this case. I don't know, but surely Arsene is not ready to let go so easily.

Let me know what do you think.

Chealsea Banned For 2 Years

Chelsea banned for two transfer windows. wow now this is amazing news, Chelsea were found guilty of encouraging Lens teenager Gael Kakuta to break hi contract and sign with them.

FIFA said in a statement: "The French club had lodged a claim with FIFA seeking compensation for breach of contract from the player and requesting also sporting sanctions to be imposed on the player and the English club for breach of contract and inducement to breach of contract respectively.

"The DRC found that the player had indeed breached a contract signed with the French club. Equally, the DRC deemed it to be established that the English club induced the player to such breach.

"As a result the player was condemned to pay compensation in the amount of EUR 780,000, for which the club, Chelsea, is jointly and severally liable, and sporting sanctions were imposed on both the player and Chelsea in accordance with art. 17 par. 3 and 4 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.

"A restriction of four months on his eligibility to play in official matches is imposed on the player Gael Kakuta while the club Chelsea is banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for the two next entire and consecutive registration periods following the notification of the present decision.

"Furthermore, Chelsea, has to pay RC Lens training compensation in the amount of EUR 130,000."

This news is interesting since after a year and a half, half of the Chelsea team will be thinking of a retirement.

This is already exciting me.

Let me what do u think about this.

Transfer Window Closes - Arsenal

Well another transfer window closes and we have not bought anyone as usual, Arsene has failed to buy any new player or I should say he did not find a player who is right for the team, even if he does find one the price must be too high. Whatever it is, transfer window is close and we cannot do anything about it, Lets stop moaning about it and move on and support the current team we have , let me tell you this, the current squad is no pushover, they are handful to any club in Europe.

Arsenal have a very good squad, yes couple of defensive signing would have been good, but remember Big Phil is still there and he is way better than Silvertre. And people are worried about the DMF position but I feel Wenger will play Denilson in that position if we can remember, he was the DMF last season until the emergence of Song, So Wenger must be feeling that we have enough cover in that position.

CB and DMF these are the only two position I think we needed to strenghthen just to give Depth to the sqaud otherwise we are good in rest of the department. Since the transfer window is close I will not be writing about the who we should have bought blah blah blah......

Instead I feel we have a decent enough squad to win trophy and Chelsea is the only other team who look better on paper than Arsenal.

UEFA Ban Eduardo - Your Thoughts.

News has just come in that UEFA has banned Eduardo for 2 Champions League Matches for "deceiving the referee" to win a penalty against Celtic in the 2nd leg of the CL play off round which Arsenal eventually won 3-1 and 5-1 on aggregate.

Under Normal Circumstances it would have been a just a yellow card so a 2 match ban sounds illogical.

Arsenal can appeal against the decision in 3 days.

Give me your thoughts on this decision.

"Eduardo should be banned for eight games"

Former Liverpool star Stan Collymore, have a problem with Arsene defence of Eduardo

Writing in his column for The Mirror, Collymore stated:
“Wenger said UEFA’s treatment of Eduardo is a “witch-hunt“ and vowed to protect his player.
“But having seen the footage, I cannot believe Wenger can support Eduardo so strongly.
“I would like to see managers like Wenger acting to protect the integrity of the game and helping to stamp out diving by condemning it.
“As it is, UEFA have decided to get involved and good luck to them.
“But their threat of a two-game European ban for Eduardo is not enough and personally, I’d happily see all cheating players giving an eight-game ban.
“There is no point hitting a millionaire in the pocket by fining him so you have to start looking at other punishments as an effective deterrent.
“If a player can’t play for eight games he would think twice about diving because he would probably lose his place in the team.
“Managers like Wenger who also harbour and protect cheats should get a four-match touchline ban.
“It needs to be done to clean up the game and rid it of cheats.”

Yes he's right may be its should have started against Liverpool and Manchester United , who have history of diver's, Stan should look at his Liverpool captain first before speaking about other team, and his eight match ban comment is just rubbish.
