With that, I will leave you to share around your Podolski fixes Basically what I am trying to say is that I believe that Darren Dein has told Mancini or someone at Manchester City that Robin van Persie would like to stay at Arsenal and that he will The game against Tottenham was a perfect example. at 0-2 down, the world was close to ending. I felt dizzy thinking about watching those lot celebrate in our stadium, having to read text messages from several Tottenham supporting friends of

The Lukas Podolski rumours do not appear to be slowing down any time soon with our good old Per Mertesacker talking about his late night chats with Podolski. There might not be any mention of those chats being late night but it just sounds better. Mertesacker has been selling how good life is at Arsenal but I do not know about the context. Mertesacker and Podolski could be best of friends and Mertesacker could have been asked a loaded question. Either way, it is probably best if those types of answers were avoided

This time they faced the real Arsenal, the whirlwind that blew Tottenham out of the better half of North London. I would say though that AC Milan have a right to complain to the powers that be. They must have stepped onto that lush, green, slick pitch and gulped because the playing field had been levelled so to speak. It was now based on footballing ability and not

Wilshere, Diaby, Benayoun, Coquelin and Ramsey all miss out though injury or illness which is quite amazing. Even Tomas Rosicky is a doubt but I think he will have to be patched up and wheeled out because we really do have no more options, at least from our first team squad. We ended the game at Liverpool with our young prodigy Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the advanced attacking midfield role and I suspect that is the position where he will start the game tonight. That is what I think

Arsenal players go down holding body parts after 'tackles' I a not talking Eboue type of going down, I am talking about warriors like Bacary Sagna and Thomas Vermaelen who do not go down unless they are properly hurt. It is no surprise when you think about the manager they have in charge. A dinosaur who still plays 1980s football. One big man up front, two wingers. Get stuck in, get in their faces and hurt those fancy Dan Arsenal boys, they don't like it. Our players really need to sort that

The axe finally fell over the neck of Andre Villas-Boas, a young manager who got many tongues wagging due to his impressive record at Porto. Many were wishing that he would replace Arsene Wenger as the manager but it just goes to show that rebuilding a team and get instant results is not as simple as some like to make out, even when you have huge funds available to spend let alone if you have to

I think I've never been excited about an Arsenal game as much as I am about this one, simply because every big game is accompanied by the  usual dread, hope, fear, increase in heart rate and the occasional heart ache. Tuesday's game has none of those bad feelings but might end with unparalleled euphoric joy. We really have nothing to lose whatsoever but

We were finding it very difficult to create any chances as Liverpool were quicker and sharper to the ball and getting into their half in numbers was proving very difficult, especially in the center of the pitch. The man who scores when he likes found his way to goal after a wonderfully inch perfect cross from Bacary Sagna found the head of van Persie to glance in past Reina

Arsenal dressing room but I think my excuses were a little obvious and they stopped me from leaving. Not sure how that ended, we probably stuffed them 5-2 or something. That type of score line today is improbable, I can see a very tight and defensive game from the home side and if they stop us playing then I am not sure how much football will be played, that of course will all change if we can score an early goal and the early goal will depend on how we start the match. I have watched a few Liverpool v Manchester United games at

The Arsenal guy hasn't been able to achieve consistency because he finds himself continuously trying to build up to match fitness and also match sharpness. Without a run of games where you are totally free from injury, that is very difficult. The last stretch of games he had was a few season's ago when he played alongside Alex Song, I think it was Arsene's first adaptation of the 4-3-3. Previously it was just Alex Song sitting with two advanced midfielders but during that season Wenger asked Diaby to drop deeper alongside Song. During
