Park was in inspiring form for South Korea and notched up a goal in their win. Since his arrival at Arsenal, I've seen him notch up goals every time he has gone away to play for South Korea but he has struggled to stake a claim as a first team product, largely because of the world class form RVP is in. One thing we can all agree with is Park has moved ahead of
Ju Park and the already much loved Ryo Miyaichi are two Asian players who are currently on our books. Junichi Inamoto was another Asian who came to Arsenal on loan from Japan but never quite
He got his chance in the first two Carling cup games sandwiched by a Champions league tie against Olympiacos, all at the Emirates. In two of the three games he was fantastic, scoring two very good goals. In recent games, Chamberlain has been pulled back out of the spotlight and has often failed
I am loving all things Arsenal right now. From Mikel Arteta's quality to Carl Jenkinson's interviews. He is sounding very mature and confident these days. Listening to Jenkinson is like listening to a
Our talismanic captain Robin van Persie has been in fine form and is currently leading the goal scorers log with 11 goals. His hat-trick against Chelsea is still fresh in my mind and I really can't help thinking the level he would have been at, had he stayed injury free 2 years back. He is currently on 29 goals in 28 games in the league this calendar year(2011), a feat only bettered by Ronaldo of

Well, on paper that was who were tasked with defending. As it transpired, the first half saw them doing very little of that as the lads spent much of the opening 45 running around in weird directions like they were
Brek Shea has been dubbed the new Fernando Torres by some which is a tad harsh on the lad. He is only 21 and there is no need to ridicule the poor lad. I guess his upright running style and blonde hair may have something to do with the comparison more than the lack of goals and heavy price tag.
As is the case with most young players, it has taken him a bit of time to settle into the way of playing at Arsenal which is a massive jump from playing for Charlton. He has huge heart and never leaves anything behind on the pitch. Trying to push ahead of Bacary Sagna is the impossible task but as
Rumours were floating around that Park had started to look impressive in training and when it came to the next round of the Carling cup against Bolton, Park showed his quality with some neat touches and
People tend to remember bad things for longer than good things since negative events continue to provoke a strong emotional response long after they’re finished. Today, the happiness you feel remembering the Invincible season will likely seem less strong than the sadness you feel about losing the Champion’s League final. Indeed, you may even find that remembering the Invincible season makes
