Gunners Today 15 November @ 12:16 PM EST
On the surface Van Persie's latest setback is a major blow to our team. Dare I say it, it
could prove to be even more significant than Cesc's injury last year which ruled him out for 4
months.
We've played without either Arshavin or Cesc in games this season. Yet it is only the Carling
Cup where Van Persie hasn't featured.

Despite getting off to a start that has gone beyond all expectations, the football pundits
continue to dig around for any reason to stick to their idiotic pre-season predictions of Arsenal's
impending doom and gloom. The club is 15-2-2 overall having scored 55 goals, 10-0 at home having
scored 33 goals at the Emirates.

by CARL ELDRIDGE The goal-hungry Gunners are on course for a record-breaking ton of Premier
League goals.
And this merits mention in today's Press with the Daily Mirror telling us that Arsene Wenger's
men notched four more goals at Wolves to take their top-flight tally to 36 already in just 11
games.

A couple of weeks ago, it was hard to know whether to be optimistic or pessimistic. Many commented
that the general criticism of Arsenal post-West Ham was over-the-top.
But the problem was, that on the 29th of October 2008, at about 9.30, the season so far had
provided enough to be pretty optimistic.

Arsenal eased past Dutch club AZ Alkmaar after their attacking prowess left the visitors little or
no chance of securing a result at the Emirates Stadium. Cesc Fabregas bagged a brace with an
impressive performance that showcased his skill, intelligence, and goal scoring capabilities as he
marshalled the midfield.

The 4-1 thumping of Alkmaar in midweek was an immensely satisfying affair, a triumph of
footballing philosophy over the defensive nous of coaches such as Ronald Koeman, and yet another
demonstration that this Arsenal team is serious about combining footballing beauty with tangible
success.
But prior the the match, there was a definite sense of relaxation amongst the fans, as if the
game really didn't matter, so assured was our progress regardless of the result.

Pazza Inter. I nerazzurri di Mourinho, primi in campionato con sette punti di vantaggio sulla
Juventus, conquistano la vittoria (prima) in Europa, e anche il primato in un girone che si
mantiene comunque equilibrato. Il gol di Shevchenko, alfiere della Dinamo Kiev, sembra far
presagire un nuovo incubo per la corazzata interista ma questa volta, in maniera decisamente
rocambolesce (a tre minuti dalla fine), rimonta e sorpassa gli ucraini, portando a casa tre punti
fondamentali.

It was just one of those nights. Kind of like the home wins over Sevilla or Slavia Prague match
in 2007. Arsenal came off 3-nil win over Spurs at the weekend, in which they had never really hit
3rd gear, and rode that 3rd gear for much of the Champions League match with AZ Alkmaar on
Wednesday evening.

Arsenal attacked AZ Alkmaar with speed and purpose to all but seal their place in the knockout
stages of the Champions League.

Whisper it quietly but this may be the real deal. Arsenal's speed and incision cut apart Dutch

Liverpool was so close to victory yesterday in Lyon. After giving Lyon their best for 83 minutes, a
Ryan Babel wonder goal broke the deadlock, handing Rafa and the Reds a lifeline in Group E. A win
against the French powerhouse would throw them back in the thick of things. But it was not to be,
as Lisandro Lopez capitalized on some poor Liverpool defending to snatch a 1-1 draw that sealed
Lyon's passage to the knockout stage.

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.

After last night's rout against AZ Alkmaar in the Champion's League Group stage, Arsene Wenger said
that he does not need to buy new players when the transfer window re-open again in January.

Bendtner, Eduardo, Walcott, Vela, Rosicky, Nasri, Arshavin, Denilson, etc.

Arsenal came into its own with crisp, free flowing football. Cesc with a brace, Nasri with a
very welcome contribution on his return, and Diaby rounded up the scoring. But Arshavin was the
source having a hand in three of the goals. And Wenger singled him out.
Wenger highlighted Andrey Arshavin - who had a hand in three of the goals - for special
praise, saying: "He was outstanding.

Free-scoring Arsenal continued their dominance of Champions League Group H with a stunning 4-1
drubbing of AZ Alkmaar on Wednesday night.
The Gunners are in top spot and unbeaten in their group, and proved far too classy for the Dutch
visitors at The Emirates, where skipper Cesc Fabregas bagged a brace and was joined on the
scoresheet by Samir Nasri and Abou Diaby, who netted a sublime fourth of the night on 72 minutes
after some flowing build-up play from Eduardo and Andrey Arshavin.

With our Champions League match against AZ Alkmaar looming, I am just going to use today to
briefly talk about a few issues facing the club this week, including the Fran Merida situation, the
impending, or not, takeover bid, and a look back at the delusion that is Spurs', and Harry
Redknapp's, view of their side.

Right then, football tonight against Alkmaar and I really hope they're just plain old AZ tonight
and not the typical Ronald Koeman AZzzzzzzzz.
Every time we play a Koeman side it's inevitably a truly dire spectacle. A tedious, coma
inducing draw of some kind and I could really do without that tonight.

A win tonight at Ashburton Grove will see Arsenal qualify for the from the first group stage of
Champions League for the 10th consecutive seasons. Not even the great Barcelonas or Real Madrids or

Alkmaar who pegged us back at the final minute of the game with an equalizer.
