Cesc may well start on Monday & Taking chances key to season’s ending

Cesc has been saying on Twitter that he is doing his best to make it for Monday. It is not as if we are rushing him back early, he is currently on schedule but my issue would be his match fitness rather than a reoccurrence of his hammy. If he isn't ready then he will not be risked.
I would start the Tomas Rosicky of Aston Villa and keep Cesc on the bench but then again I wouldn't start the Rosicky of Fulham where he was woeful. It is difficult to tell which players will turn up and which

Can’t Evra be loaned out for three years instead of Wellington?

The footballing gods have really got it in for me haven't they? I have been rather excited like a little boy on Christmas day about the arrival of Wellington da Silva in January, once he is granted his work permit. You know, the one that they promised him. FIFA being FIFA decided against it and refused. It seems like our appeal for a special talent visa was also turned down, so we will not be seeing him in an Arsenal shirt for a number of years now as he will have to go out on loan to a Spanish team to become

Partizan Belgrade (h) Post Match Thoughts: Qualification achieved but improvements necessary

Ilove the Nasri finish because it is often a position where we attempt one pass too many, instead of working the keeper and perhaps Nasri of last season may have tried a return to Song but with his form sky high, the goals are

Partizan Belgrade (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Only a Belgrade A performance will do

He has been bright over the last few games and he seems to enjoy European nights at the Emirates so hopefully in the possible absence of Samir Nasri and or Rosicky he can step up and cause the opposition

Koscielny recovery, Djourou crash & Nasri deal

With these new rules in place that allows players to leave for a bag of soap after only being at a club for 15 minutes. (perhaps a slight exaggeration somewhere in that sentence) It seems like we are continuously handing out new contracts to keep our players at the club. What is vitally important is that we keep our group together, we have lost key players in previous squads in the past and it is a

Why Song should go and not stay & Converting chances must improve

What that actually means is 'we have only watched them on highlights and only know where they have come from and haven't the foggiest about their strengths and weaknesses. This is the problem really, many pundits are often talking from a season behind reality. Fabianski to them is the keeper who came in cold, low on confidence and made blunder after blunder. Hopefully by next season he will be the actual keeper that we see today. I find it hilarious that we actually get so much more knowledge from blogs from in fact Joe Blogs who write down their views in their spare time rather than x player who is being paid a shed load of cash to

Your Vision – The magic called Samir Nasri

The talk surrounding Samir Nasri at his club Marseille, prior to joining Arsenal was that he would be the next Zidane, considering similarities of Algerian descent, technical  skills and vision, dribbling skills and playmaking abilities on the football pitch with the great “Zizou”.

Fulham (h) Post Match Thoughts: Super Samir adds new dimension to top Gunners

Samir Nasri has always been technically brilliant but he was a blunt 21 year old. He could turn his man inside and out and then play a square pass to a team mate. He used to trick his way past the right back cut back inside and lay it back to Clichy. We are now watching the direct 23 year old version. That was his tenth of the season, already better than his Arsenal best so far and that is with missing a

Fulham (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Van Persie & Arshavin can heat up cold Emirates afternoon

I have probably been harder on Arshavin than any other of our players so far this season, his statistics have been impressive but I have often had the feeling that he could have done much more. I was absolutely delighted after his performance last weekend, we saw the Arshavin that

Formations, Line ups & Rival squads

Imagine we had bloody Bebe in our squad, getting games. Wenger would be absolutely crucified for buying him for £7 million, especially when someone like Van der Vaart would have done the world of good for them at almost the same price. For those who were screaming for Wenger to be sacked last week, I would genuinely like to know your thoughts on the quality of our rivals when they have lost badly. Like the Mancs on Tuesday and Chelsea losing 3-0 to Sunderland at home. Is this just a blip
