Everton 2-0 Chelsea Premier League 11th February 2012
That much-publicised midweek training ground visit from Roman Abramovich would have done
little for Andre Villas-Boas' confidence ahead of Saturday's game against Everton.
Down like a sacker spuds Sunderland forward James McClean scored a cheeky opener against Arsenal
after defender Per Mertesacker generously fell over. The German defender left the field on a
stretcher after the incident. That prompted Soccer Saturday pundit Robbie Fowler who had taken to
calling the Arsenal man "Metzelder" to say: "I [.

Thierry Henry came off the bench in his last Premier League appearance for Arsenal this year and
capped the occasion off in perfect style with a late stoppage time goal that wrapped up all three
points for the Gunners.
In a toughly contested match at the Stadium of Light, James McLean opened the scoring for
Sunderland 25 minutes into the second half, when he capitalized on Per Mertesacker's slip to guide
the ball past Wojciech Szczesny from an acute angle.
Thierry Henry's final game for Arsenal in the Premier League ended in victory, with the...

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.
It was originally forecast that Jack Wilshere would be returning to the Arsenal team in late
January, but just as he looked close to full fitness again it was revealed in a scan that the 18
year-old had yet another small bone broken in his foot, But today Wenger has revealed that Wilshere
is going [.
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill admits that the Black Cats will have their hands full when they
entertain Arsenal at the Stadium of Light today, particularly given the dexterity of Gunners
youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The teenage sensation has quickly become a fan favorite at Arsenal, setting up Robin van
Persie's equalizer in the 2-1 defeat against Manchester United and then displaying his scoring
abilities by netting twice in last weekend's 7-1 destruction of Blackburn.
This season has seen the emergence of Wojciech Szczesny as the undisputed no.1 at Arsenal, and for
the first time since the departure of the Invincibe Jens Lehmann, we have a world-class keeper in
our squad. But do we have a decent enough deputy to the young shot-stopper? The answer is quite
simply a big [.
What a game in store for us this afternoon. As was said earlier this week a barometer game. A
resurgent Sunderland looking to continue their very surprising run against an Arsenal team
confident as a result of last week's big win.
And yet, in my opinion both appear to be skating on thin ice.
A genial head-nod to all Arselings out there. Things are usually pretty quiet on the disquiet
front after a win, and it has expectedly been all shush-and-silence in the wake of us playing
Blackburn like a set of drums last week. But just like the draw at Bolton didn't mean that the team
was on a one-way trip to Hades, a rout over ten-man relegation fodder doesn't a summer make.
Me and the machines
First of 2 trips to Wearside, starting with the league match tonight and the FA Cup the
following week. Beginning of a very important 7 days for Arsenal Football Club according to Arsene
Wenger. 3 matches that will decide our season. An European cup tie against AC Milan sandwiched in
between 2 meetings with Martin O'Neill's Sunderland.
There is a long long way to go before the end of the season, but some papers just can't help
creating the occasional Arsenal transfer rumour anyway. Today the Metro reports that the Ajax
defender Jan Vertonghen is being lined up by both Arsenal and Tottenham with a view to a £10m bid
this summer, [.
Yep, Sunderland are the best team in the league over the last bunch of games. Read Martin's
preview for proof.
Kick-off is 3pm London time, 10am New York, 7am Vancouver, and sometime last night in New
Zealand. As usual, I'll be here half-an-hour beforehand to provide accompanying drivel and
conjecture.
Francis Coquelin has been somewhat of a muted revelation at Arsenal this season. Due to all our
injuries and mishaps we haven't really taken notice of some of our up and coming youngsters
including Coquelin. The youngster was scouted by us during 2008 and joined thereafter. He
successfully integrated into our club from going into [.

English Premier League Match Predictions 11 February 2012 - The 90th Minute Soccer Blog
By Phil Gregory
A resurgent Sunderland side lie in wait for Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, though a 7-1 drubbing
of Blackburn could prove to be the catalyst for revitalising our own campaign. The draw at Bolton
recently means that we really must be getting the three points from Sunderland if we are serious
about catching [.
As Arsenal head towards the business end of the season, their manager Arsene Wenger has said
that the Gunners should be optimistic about their chances.
The North Londoners will face Sunderland on Saturday at the Stadium of Light, with their aim
being to keep pace with their city rivals Chelsea.
For all the crisis talk, it hasn't been a bad fortnight for Arsenal. At half time against Villa,
we were staring down the barrel of a fourth successive defeat, and an early exit from a competition
that was beginning to open up thanks to some high profile ties that we had managed to avoid. Since
then, we have seen actual mental strength (as opposed to the professed type that leaves us
scratching our heads in disbelief) in that comeback win, a match against Bolton which, while
frustrating from a result point of view, was a sharp improvement in performance on those that had
come before, and a thumping seven goal win over a Blackburn side that inflicted perhaps our most
painful defeat of the season back in September (yes, I count that 4-3 loss as worse than the United
hammering).

Sunderland AFC v Arsenal
Founded in 1879 as Sunderland and District Teachers AFC, Sunderland joined the Football League
in 1890 and went on to win the League the following season.
Arsenal have definitely missed Kieran Gibbs. He isn't Arsenal's best Left-Back, personally I
believe Santos is, but what a refreshing idea to actually have a LB in the LB position! However
there are still some problems with the guy that needs to be sorted out... Gibbs has a lot of
potential. Wenger wouldn't have him [.

The Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has today hinted at a summer move to Real Madrid after
admitting that he would be excited about the prospect of playing for the La Liga side. Speaking to
the Spanish daily Marca, the Dutch striker had this to say: "I like knowing the interest of Real
Madrid and [.

Last Meeting: Arsenal 2 Sunderland 1 (October 17, 2011)
Crucial match .
Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has backed tomorrow's opponents Arsenal to silence their
critics, making it clear that the Gunners have sufficient talent to prevail at the Stadium of
Light.
Arsene Wenger's men are three points adrift of fourth-place Chelsea and have relied heavily on
the incredible form of skipper Robin van Persie, who scored a brilliant hat-trick in last weekend's
7-1 rout of Blackburn.

Right. Straight off the bat, Pies would like to clarify that we're not saying this is 100%
definitely the design for Arsenal's new home kit for 2012/13.
What we are saying is that this mock-up has been drafted by
Arsenalinsider, who have a decent hit-rate on these sorts of things and who are
also claiming to have been privy to a photo of the actual design courtesy of a deepthroat informant
in the Nike camp and that they are willing to stand by their reproduction 'such is the strength of
belief in their source'.

Last time we see all 3 on the pitch at the same time?
Haven't written in a while, therefore this will be more of a short summation on things that have
happened in the past week. No place better to start than with the players.
Emmanuel Frimpong will be out for the rest of the season with a cruciate ligament injury.

Arsenal back-up goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has expressed controversial views opposing the
introduction of goal-line technology in football, insisting that officiating errors are part of the
game.
A number of high-profile errors in recent years have prompted the International Football
Association Board to hold a decisive meeting regarding the issue on July 2.

Well, can you believe it!?
Arsenal have reached the landmark 40 points needed to stay in the Premier League!
Back in August another season of struggle was being predicted by the knowledgable Arsenal
faithful. A lack of quality signings in the transfer window and an air of disappointment from pre
season results even had some sections calling for a new manager:-
"Wenger will win nothing.
This is what the new Arsenal home shirt for next season looks like, Arsenalinsider can
exclusively reveal. As in previous years, we have been given the first sneak peak at how Arsene
Wenger's players will look in the latest offering from the club and manufacturers Nike.
We've been right every time in the past and we stand by this image, such is the strength of
belief in our source.
