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.

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?

97′ (of waiting) A very bored Andrei Arshavin emails Bendtner the question "how are you?

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,

This is clearly Arsenal's best opportunity to win the league in several years.
United are clearly stuttering, not just due to the loss of Ronaldo, as any team would do, but also as they have no defensive stability whatsoever. Their league title last season was built on an almost impregnable defence, which almost everyone seems to have overlooked due to Ronaldo's departure.

How about a little transfer speculation to start today's blog? The Mail is championing Louis Saha as a potential target and with the Everton man out of contract from the summer a cheap as chips move might just suit Scroogesene Wenger. It probably wouldn't suit Everton though for whom the Frenchman is top scorer.

Just when I've been thinking that this transfer window has been pretty quiet from Tottenham's perspective, the papers are full of speculation today regarding possible activity.

The Guardian claim that we've sorted out personal terms with Sandro and now just need to agree the transfer fee.

Rooney celebrates the penalty he scored against Arsenal earlier this season

After that enthralling Manchester derby victory on Wednesday United get straight back into action with a Premier League clash against Arsenal. Out of all the matches between the regular ‘big four' I'd say United against the Gunners is probably my favourite fixture.
