Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has launched his second scathing attack on the club's current group of players, pointing out that the likes of Theo Walcott, Andrey Arshavin, and Tomas Rosicky are simply not good enough to be Gunners anymore.

In a recent interview, Petit had criticized Arsenal for going from an entertaining playing style to one that was highly predictable following the departures of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri last summer.

Andrey Arshavin has moved back to Zenit on loan and that means £80,000 off the wage bill. That's if the list of wages Arsenalinsider has been sent is to be believed.

The bulging paypackets for players such as Sebastien Squillaci (£60,000-a-week) and Abou Diaby (£50,000) are astonishing as are the huge amounts being paid to backroom staff.

A dictionary definition of "hope" is: "the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best."

In recent games there have been certain Arsenal players who, when they receive the ball, induce in me the opposite of hope.

What I mean by this is the very personal effect they have on me when watching the game.

Arsenal have revealed that they may try to extend Thierry Henry's loanspell at the club from MLS side the New York Red Bulls as they bid to keeptheir attacking ranks as strong as possible during a crucial stage of the EPLseason. Whenever Henry plays for the Gunners, it seems, Arsenal are transformed into one of the better soccer betting tips so it makes sense for Arsenal to want to keep him.

Legend. Arsenal true blue. Competitor. Finisher extraordinaire.

You couldn't write a better script for Thierry Henry to end his England return. An added time goal for the winner against Sunderland. A bookend to the bookend he installed with his instant winner against Leeds. Both Wenger's subs made massive contributions to the victory as Aaron Ramsey scored the equalizer and Andrey Arshavin sent in a pinpoint cross to Henry lurking in front of goal to elevate his leg and guide the ball past Simon Mignolet.

Time to upgrade his statue to silver

If you're a Arsenal fan today, you'll be buzzing. Nothing beats coming from behind and winning by scoring in the final minute of the game. Especially when it's an away game and we weren't firing on all cylinders. Especially when the winning goal was scored by one of the club's greatest ever player.

As far as starts to difficult weeks go, that turned out to be half-decent, yeah? After eons of bumbling around in the wilderness every time our rivals slipped up, Arsenal finally took advantage of dropped points around them yesterday by squeezing past Sunderland with very little toothpaste in the tube to spare.

Filthy lucre: The ruble, the new green

Fabio Capello is reportedly in Moscow after his skiing holiday in Switzerland. The big drop is he's meeting with Anzhi Makhachkala officials who are looking for a replacement for their coach Yuri Krasnozhan.

The Russian coach is an acolyte of Alan Soziyev, the former director general of the club, who departed the club after his contract was terminated by mutual agreement.

Three positions where the Gunners face unpredictability are at left back, attacking midfield, and down the wings.

Left back: The most vexing decision is at left back where Wenger has Kieran Gibbs available after months away with an injury.

Looks good in blue? Nah....

The way it's going, you would think that we're now in June and the European Championship is upon us. Why? Have you not seen all the Arsenal related news having to do with transfers and how much money Arsene Wenger will be allowed to spend? Last time I checked, we're supposed to take every match as a cup final.

The one that got the ball roling

He's 5 foot 4, He's 5 foot 4, Thank you Arshavin, ...... Adebayor

Is one of the many variations of the song that would probably get some time during the derby tomorrow. Andrey Arshavin has returned to Zenit St Petersburg on loan until the rest of the season and we have probably seen the last of seen in an Arsenal shirt.

Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin has joined Zenit St Petersburg on loan until the end of the season bringing the curtain down on his fledgling career at the Emirates Stadium. The news came as a welcome relief for many Arsenal fans who have long since been frustrated by the Russian midfielder's lack of form, poor play, [.

Build-up to North London derbies is usually fraught with a gamut of emotions; excitement, nervousness, disbelieving head-shaking as Spurs go on ego-massaging trips and superior sniggers as they trip on the field. Well, that's what they did until a few years ago at least. This new and improved Spurs are disappointingly far removed from a travelling circus and resemble a football team like few of their predecessors ever did.
