After all the crazy quotes attributed to the Arsenal midfielder Andrei Arshavin, today we have the craziest of all. Arsene Wenger said that he was "disappointed" about the Arshavin interview saying that Barcelona were the best team in the world, and he would love to play for them, even if it was for just one season.

The little Russian midfielder Andrei Arshavin has jusy won the "Best Russian Player" award for August, but doesn't feel he deserves it, in fact he doesn't think he has played to his full ability since he arrived in England. "I am very much surprised," he said. "If I became No 1 last month that means there [.

After plenty of speculation and faked designs, Arsenal has officially revealed photographs of their new football kit for the 2010-11 season.

As revealed two days ago, Arsenal's new home shirt is a classic retro design that is very reminiscent of the same shirt that Arsenal won the 1970-71 double in.

Given that Arsene Wenger revealed that he was the sole reason the Arsenal manager didn't go out and buy a ready-made replacement for Manchester City bound Emmanuel Adebayor in the summer, that the Arsenal manager sees many similiarities between him and former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler and that the 20 year old Mexican has been hailed as one of the brightest young footballers in the world for several years now, many Arsenal fans must be wondering when Carlos Vela is going to be given a chance to stake a claim for a regular place in the first team.

"Hmm, the chicken or the fish?"

Firstly, a disclaimer: I know modern Premier League teams have big squads which they rotate, and I know there's quite a difference between the team you pick for a home match and an away match. Just so we're clear on that.

The Champions League is providing plenty of interesting stories, for example, do you remember Vincent Enyeama? He was the Nigerian goalkeeper in the 2010 South Africa World Cup, and he basically stopped Messi from scoring his first goal of the World Cup.
Well, Enyeama became the third goalkeeper ever to score in a Champions League match when he slotted in his penalty for Hapoel Tel-Aviv.

It's this easy....Soccer is a game of undeniable beauty, but there are times of tragic ugliness. That ugliness is no more apparent than when a player crosses the TV screen or right in front of your face at the stadium that just gets your blood boiling. So mad that you just want to punch that mother f*cker right in the face!

The Russian international goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev thinks he is ready for a move to the Premiership, and after talking to his mate Andrei Arshavin, he is especially keen on moving to Arsenal and London, with Man Utd being his second choice. The CSKA Moscow star believes that if a good offer came in for him the [.

DaMarcus Beasley followed up his 45-minute weekend return from a thigh injury by starting, playing 70 minutes and scoring a goal in Rangers' 2-1 reserve team victory over Kilmarnock on Tuesday.

According to a game report, Beasley looked sharp throughout the match, and opened the scoring with a finish from the right flank.

Forget what you read elsewhere about Cesc being annoyed with PHW's comments and Arsenal's lack of trophies, what you're getting this morning is 100% inescapable, iron clad, genuine, bone fide truth pie with a great big lump of vanilla veracity on top.

This morning Arseblog can exclusive reveal the 10 reasons why Cesc wants to leave Arsenal.

Squad Profiles are available for each of the twenty clubs currently playing football in the Premier League. They are an overview of each club and specifically denote players to highly consider selecting for your side. Others have been ear-marked to watch out for as they may be new to the Premiership or returning from injury.

Manchester United newbie, Javier Hernandez, will wear the number 14 shirt for Manchester United, with his nickname, Chicharito, on the back.

But who else has worn this shirt?

Zoran Tosic is the most recent who was given the shirt number last season. It had remained empty for a couple of seasons after previous no.

After confirming that everything was a-ok with his life in London once his wife joined him back in August and he figured how to park and use credit cards, it seemed Andrei Arshavin was well on his way to being a slightly normal human being. But, as it turns out, he's still having a difficult go of it.

Having crashed out of the Champions League in the group stages, the FA Cup in the third round, and hanging out in 7th place on the table with their three best players out of action, Liverpool are staring straight at catastrophe. Without the revenues available to buy their way out of this mess, and with no more money coming in from the Champions League or ticket sales from the FA Cup and a probable lack of Champions league football next year, all those unthinkable questions now need to be asked.

Let's take a quick visual stroll past a few of the men that captured our photo-stalking eyes this weekend, shall we?

Arsenal sweeped aside Portuguese giants Porto aside as our featured player Nicklas Bendtner, 22, scored his first senior hatrick in competitive football (scored 4 in a pre-season friendly last summer). It was a superb way to react to some uncalled for overexagguerated critiscm to the young Dane for some misses he made on Saturday.

I had busy dreams last night. Did you ever have that one where you're playing football and no matter how hard you swing your foot the ball just trickles along the ground? Thankfully the team we were playing against had a keeper who must have been dreaming that dream where you try and run but your legs feel like they're stuck in the ground so the trickling ball went in just inside the post.

Danish club Aalborg currently sit fifth in the Danish Superiga with an Europa League spot within reach. A victory on Friday against bottom dwellers SønderjyskE could have given those ambitions a major boost. And momentum was certainly on their side, when SønderjyskE's Andrei Sidorenkov was sent off early in the 33rd minute, for a second [.

• Samir Nasri scored two excellent goals.

The Arsenal midfielder Andrei Arshavin has been speaking to the press today, and he seems to be pretty certain that Arsene Wenger will not be signing another goalkeeper this summer, as he already has four of them in the squad. "They say that the signings haven't finished." said Arshavin. "We have four goalkeepers and we conceded [.

The Arsenal midfielder Andrei Arshavin has been speaking about his ambitions.

We're here with a little lesson today: read the rules or just plain pay attention to the details. Having watched the regular 90 minutes and the game "over" at 1-1, I shut off the stream thinking there would be a replay. I was very confused roughly ten minutes later when Arsenal had scored not one but two goals in what I thought to be imaginary extra time.

The Russian winger Andrei Arshavin has been roundly criticised for his seeming lack of enthusiasm on the pitch for Arsenal this season, and he started on the bench on Tuesday and was only brought on when it was clear Arsenal had sewn up the points. Many fans have advocated leaving Arshavin out of the team for [.

Arsenal sits top of the English table and the fleet-footed Frenchman Nasri dances to the praise of pundits the world over. Including me.

El Arsenal recibe al Bolton en un partido que de ganarlo lo colocaria a solo 1 punto del Chelsea y se treparía al segundo lugar de la Premier League dejando al poderoso Manchester en tercero.

Wenger, técnico del Arsenal confía en el trabajo de los jóvenes y su gran empuje, Fabregas sigue resentido de su lesión, Song tampoco verá acción y Andrei esta en duda de jugar por un problema en el pie, por lo que las posibilidades de que Vela juegue de titular son amplias.

The snow is wreaking havoc on the fixture schedules in England, with its latest victim being the Arsenal v Bolton match on Wednesday. With the team sitting around the Emirates, wondering if they'll get to play, that old question comes to mind...what if it continued?

The snow hasn't scuppered today's fixture against Everton, touch wood, there's no doubt that today's game will be a tough test despite the ease with which we dispatched David Moyes' side on the opening day of the season. I'd expect Eduardo to lead the line, Rosicky may start, Andrei Arshavin and Denilson will return to the eleven, so I'd see the starting eleven as something like: Almunia; Sagna,
