I wouldn't be surprised to see Silvestre line up alongside Sol Campbell in the midlands come the weekend. If Silvestre isn't out of favour then the only reason why he could be left out would be because of the form of our midfield
The question came up as to which Arsenal player is next to make a similar leap forward in terms of development and one player jumped out at me
Hopefully we will have our own South American wonder kid in a few years time in Wellington Silva. Go on kid, go and do what Messi is doing. No pressure
Abou Diaby will give their midfield something to think about, his driving runs from midfield will force Xavi and Iniesta backwards and hopefully allow Cesc to have more space in the final third to do what he does best
As expected, we should have Alex Song, Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky and Carlos Vela in the squad for Saturday which is nice. We could do with the one out, one in routine changing
There is such a massive contrast between José Mourinho and Arsene Wenger. Two managers with the complete opposite philosophies. Arsene sends his players out onto the pitch with a blank canvas to express their art
It is the same for certain blogs out there who have spent the whole season ridiculing our squad. Apparently we can never play 4-3-3, because we do not have the players to do so. Wenger's French spoilt kids do not have the stomach for a fight
Judging by Wenger's press conference it looks like our injury problem may not be as bad as first feared. I was worried that Cesc, Song, Rosicky and Nasri could be out which would be far from good. Very far from good. But judging by Wenger's tone
This William Gallas 'injury' is a little worrying. I don't wish to jump to conclusions but the fact that he hasn't signed a new contract and the Roma talk continues to do the rounds
Manchester United and Chelsea are NOT head and shoulders above us. They have found a way of playing us that suits them and has caused us problems. They have taken all the points off us this season and we need to address that
