By 1970's GoonerArsenal's most improved player this season has been Alexandre Song. His performances in the centre of midfield have been just short of excellent. He has grown in that role in leaps and bounds this season, showing tenacity, strong tackling and learning to distribute accurately. But his performances last season and in the last few games of this, in the heart of the defence have also

It looks like a few teams in the Premier League could suffer a fair bit when the African Cup of Nations 2010 kicks off on Sunday, January 10th 2010. The competition, which always coughs up some great entertainment, will see approximately 27 Premier League players set off for Angola.
Which clubs are going to suffer?

A young man has developed into a vital cog in our team, this man has been slated by fans and pundits in the past, but now we pull our hair when Wenger does not pick him. The player in question in Cameroon international, Alexandre Song.

Wenger bought Song from Bastia, had him on loan for a season and eventually paid €3.

It's late and I haven't been able to come up with sufficient words to describe Saturday's game. No, it's not that I'm blown away and bedazzled by the Arsenal performance we all expect, it's that I hope to see more of this on a consistent basis. I realize that I might be coming off a bit on the picky side, but when you have players on the pitch who can provide quality finishing like Eduardo, Vela, and to the shock of us all, Eboue, positive results should be normal right?

First, if you haven't done your quiz, stop by this post and make your guesses. Then come back here for the answers. Well done on the quiz, folks. 12/13 guessed. And don't let it concern you just because, for the second time, you didn't guess one of my favorite players. [...]

One of the most remarkable things about this season so far apart from the painful fact that we trail the scum in the table, is the fact our central defender Vermaelen is top scorer. Now is the fact that we have had thirteen different players score goals in the Premier league a good thing or something to worry about?

After last season, there have been several doubts over the effectiveness of Denilson, Alexandre Song and Abou Diaby. Perhaps rightly so in the case of the latter, who so frustratingly seems to randomly fluctuate between world beater and idiot. Hopefully the extra fitness training he has put in prior to pre-season will pay off this year (yes, I'm ignoring the accident that caused Nasri's injury!

Alexandre Song is still at the tender age of 21 but he has become a regular starter in the Arsenal team, as last season drew to an end Alex had started to reap in the good reviews and comments from the media and Arsenal fans. After Song started the first Champions League game against Manchester [.

Well, that brought us all down back to Earth with a sickening thud, didn't it?

The travails of a football fan. As one supporter of a lower division club once said to me, "It's not the disappointments I can't stand. It's the hope." Never a truer word.

Arsène Wenger is man about whom there is so much to like and admire.

Nil-Nil draws aren't so bad: two composed sides canceling each other out, tense chess matches when 90 minutes isn't enough to separate the sides.
A 4-4 draw can be diverting as well, but watching Arsenal come unglued on 4 separate occasions can be trying.
Andrey Arshavin's finishing was top drawer, and he scored all 4 of Arsenal's goals from open play.

Well, Wednesday night at Old Trafford wasn't a lot of laughs, was it? We were lucky to score nil. United could very easily have caned us by four or five and effectively won the tie. I still think we've got a mountain to climb on Tuesday night. Christiano Ronaldo hitting the woodwork was our "get out of jail free" card for this round.

The most eagerly awaited news of the day has finally be announced on the official club site. Thomas Vermaelen is thought to have accepted a four year contract and will no doubt be playing pre-season.

Attention now turns to which of our centre backs will be leaving the club. If Phillipe Senderos is wanted by Fiorentia of Italy's Serie A, could this open the door for the transfer of Felipe Melo?

By 1970's GoonerEnough will be said about the demolition of Everton and the amazing six goals scored. All the players played a blinder today inclusive of Vermaelen who had a dream debut for Arsenal. Bendtner and Denilson were exceptional to my mind but I just feel the need to highlight the world class performance that Alexandre Song put in today.

Arsenal got a deserved victory against what was quite simply an inferior team. Celtic played the best they possibly could and only mustered one shot in ninety minutes, whereas we played well below the level that we all know we are capable of and scored twice.

Wenger opted for the same team that annihilated Everton on Saturday almost certainly in the hope that they would start with the same swagger as they left off at the weekend.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsene Wenger was clearly riled after we threw away a 2-0 lead in the draw against West Ham at Upton Park yesterday.

As were the Arsenal hordes as we filed out of the ground with a miserable shuffle in search of a tincture to ease the pain.

"2-0, and you f***** it up," sung some spanner on the way out of the ground and I questioned why he felt the need to celebrate a draw.

Having lost Gallas for the season, Almunia and Clichy for three weeks we are now without Djourou for how long we do not know. What are options and how did the replacements fare on Saturday?

Fabianski had a very shaky game against Wigan. He should have done better with Mido's goal, he only managed to help it on its way into the net when he should have turned it around the post.

I shan't dwell too long on yesterday's 1-4 home defeat to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1> Chelsea. It's far, far too painful. Especially after last Tuesday. More woeful defending and some woeful goalkeeping from Lukasz Fabianski, in for Manuel Almunia, not risked with an ankle injury, were responsible for at least three and arguably all four of Chelsea's goals.

Every year it is the same. There will be a club that will drop the Gunners down from the top four. Two years ago, it was Spurs. Last year it was Villa. This year it is City. Each and every year, the club has proved them wrong. For a lefty publication, The Guardian really digs high flying big spenders.

Cameroon sits at the top of Africa's Group A, having climbed from fourth (last) to first during the last break by virtue of their two wins against Gabon, who previously led the group. The Indomitable Lions lead Gabon by one point, Togo by two, with a November trip to Morocco to close-out qualifying.

• Arsenal: Gunners Alexandre Song to 2014

Cameroon international Alexandre Song has put pen to paper on a new contract that will see him remain at the Emirates until at least 2014. The defensive midfielder has broken through the ranks at Arsenal over the last two seasons and has now become an important part of Arsene Wenger's first team plans.

UPDATE: According to Arsenal's official website, Arsenal midfielder Alexandre Song signed a new long-term contract with the club.

November 24th, 2009 According to James Dall at Sky Sports News, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed that Alex Song signed a new deal.

Richard Williams does not see what is obvious to Arsenal fans.

" and the unconvincing performance of Alexandre Song, the latest candidate - following the discarded Gilberto Silva, Mathieu Flamini and Lassana Diarra - to plug the midfield gap left by the departures of Emmanuel Petit and Patrick Vieira.

It was only a matter of time before he answered the call. I expect his Friday night will be spent chatting to the Barcelona players in their favourite restaurant come nightclub, CDLC.
