My head! My head!
My good friend's wedding is tomorrow so this will be a very early match preview of our trip to
Sunderland. As it has been known for the past few days, RVP and Gibbs both will miss the game after
yet another injury return for an Arsenal player from an international break.

Looks like it kinda work
Well, it looks like there is still some sort of fairy dust left in this world. After completing
his treatment in Serbia using the latest craze, placenta treatment, Robin was all smiles after
exiting the clinic. Dr. Kovacevic will have her hands full now that there is a whole host of other
players who would have made her clinic a very pack one.

Last Englishman Not Standing
There's another new name added to the injury list after the conclusion of the England U-21 game
last night when Kieran Gibbs limped out of the game after just 20 odd minutes. I do not know for
sure the extend of his injury but if it really is a broken metatarsal, it would mean April or May
as his return date, which will also effectively mean an early end to what was supposed to be a
promising season for me.

We face Sunderland this Saturday at the Stadium of Light and here I am on Tuesday night
wondering whether we will see something different from Arsenal this weekend. I think I mentioned it
in the aftermath of RVP's injury but today I'm going to give it full attention.
Traditionally, Wenger has preferred the conventional 4-4-2 with the striker popping up at the
flanks just like Henry once did and another idiot who tried to do the same but to no avail but this
season saw something new.

Finally there is an official statement from the club on the extend of RVP's injury and it's 6
weeks. That's a total of 11 matches that the Dutchman will miss. 8 Premier League games, 2
Champions League games and 1 Carling Cup game (which I doubt he will feature in anyway). That spate
of matches includes Sunderland (A), Std Liege (H), Chelsea (H), Man City (A), Stoke (H), Olympiakos
(A), Liverpool (A), Burnley (A), Hull (H), Villa (H) and Portsmouth (A).

There it is. I just knew it was going to happen soon. This one problem could derail Arsenal and
Gooners hope for silverware this season. Will the decision not to replace the Togolese idiot come
back to haunt Wenger? Or will someone rise from the misfortune of his team mate and stake a claim
for his place?

Hello again. First things first, I apologize if you've been checking in and find that there's no
new post or update on the blog (Who am I kidding?, I wonder how many do actually follow my
postings?) But if you have, then the only reason I can give is that there is really nothing to
update. The international break is really sucking the life out of football bloggers.

There's no Arsenal news today. So this will be a very very short one and it's only a hint of
Arsenal related stuff. A toast for my shortest ever posting.
First, Yaya Toure's agent wins my Hero Of The Day award for his wonderful response to
Man City's pursue of the unsettled Barcelona midfielder.

Denmark's Footballer of The Year
I have always believed that everyone has their advantages and flaws in certain areas that is
different from one another. Some can paint, some can sing, some can dance, while others are just
plain stupid. Case in point, Darren Fletcher. After the Chelsea game, he was quoted to say that
I think we are starting to see Mr Wenger's comments starting to influence referees which is a
shame really.

Vintage Arsenal Goal
4-1 is may have been the final result but judging from the opening 20 minutes of the game, it
would be rather hard to envisaged that scoreline. Credit to Wolves and McCarthy for their game plan
as they came out firing on all cylinders and chose to take the game to us rather than just contend
to defend.

This is what happen last time we have Wolves in the EPL
Arsenal visit Molineux Stadium tonight and it's a good oppourtunity to continue the good run
that we are currently going through. This is no walk in the park for Arsenal as both Fulham and
Aston Villa have came and gone home with only a point.

Better him than Usmanov
News fluttered in yesterday that the American tycoon, Stan Kroenke has purchased more Arsenal
shares to bring his shares to 29.9%. Just 0.09% short of needing to make a move for the rest of the
shares. Now I've reserved my thoughts on this matter for quite some time as it has already been
highlighted in many other blogs and there is no need for me to talk anymore about it, but with Stan
so close to a takeover, I guessed now is as good a time as any to give this topic a special
mention.

Samir: Let it go Fab, they can't help it if they're that bad
Ok. I'll admit if you think that's lame but that pretty much sums up the match doesn't it.
Andrey Arshavin had a blast as Arsenal met (thrash) Alkmaar in the Champions League encounter last
night. Qualification is not mathematically secured yet but it would take a miraculous set of
results for Arsenal not to go through.
