The rumour mill has been in full effect. Goalkeepers are standing in an orderly queue outside Ashburton Grove with their silver pens ready to sign on the dotted line to be Arsene's new goalkeeper. The latest seems to be Bolton's Al Habsi who is on loan at Wigan and he had a man of the match performance at the Emirates earlier this season. First Ajax's Maarten Stekelenburg threw his hat into the ring, Pepe Reina was supposedly the subject
Cesc, I love you dearly. You have been fantastic for Arsenal and I hope you see out your best years at Arsenal and wait for our very promising youngsters such as Wilshere and Ramsey to be experienced and developed enough to replace you but if you leave then such is life. We are the Arsenal, we will continue and open a new chapter. It is just not worth investing so much emotion in wondering if a player will stay at the club or
Individually each of those players are important but they are all equally as important to each other. Alex Song provides a stable platform for the likes of Cesc to play those all important killer passes. Cesc needs movement from his team mates to play those killer passes and the one player who moves

Aaron Ramsey shouldn't have been picking up Steven Reid, an obvious miss match but without Diaby, Song, Djourou, Bendtner and Chamakh in our line up we were seriously lacking height and dominance
I have pretty much said all that needs to be said about it really. I hope he doesn't play too much but I hope he does get the chance to wave goodbye on the pitch. Preferably with a title winners medal around his neck come last home game of the season against Aston Villa. That would be
If we can somehow get to the Man U game with Theo Van Nasregas in attack then I personally think we will score enough against them to win. Our first choice frontline is the most varied and dangerous in the land when fit and on form but ‘fit’ and ‘on form’ are the key words in the sentence. With that in mind we will need some good performances between now and then and no small amount of luck to
Yesterday's early Swiss FA news and then Arsenal news later on during the day was a bit like being a kid and wanting the latest games console. Begging your parents for it for the last 6 months, which probably felt closer to 6 years at that age. Then your dad comes home with the console box after work and you jump around saying 'thank you, thank you!!' only to be told that it is just the packaging. The box actually contains a five pack of
Jack's mate Henri Lansbury was in the thick of the action last night as he came off the bench with 10 minutes to play and he scored a nice goal and was involved in the late third. With all due respect, judging by his tweets, he is a little bit of a cheese. But he certainly has character on the pitch and I love his commitment. He wants to win and looks as if he doesn't know how to do anything but give

But the sausages we’ve been eating haven’t actually been that bad, have they? Sure the quality has fluctuated but at times they have been pretty damn scrumptious and we’ve gobbled them up by the bucket load without a second thought. And let’s just say for one second that we did bring in a new chef and it was only after he started that we realised our kitchen didn’t even have the ingredients for sausages or caviar and we were forced to eat tripe for the foreseeable future. It was only because our previous chef had somehow managed to make tasty sausages out of old Fairy washing up liquid bottles that we had been eating as well as we had all these years. Imagine that. Then we’d be screwed, wouldn’t we?

Chances are that it will be either Tomas Rosicky or Samir Nasri to play in the central role. Nasri has often been overlooked to play in the hole as Arsene likes to utilise his pace to get in behind the opposition
