Wilmer Cabrera called in 21 new players to the US residency program. (US Soccer)

I wanted to touch on this yesterday but unfortunately my day job didn't allow the time to do so. It was announced yesterday that the US U-17 residency program in Bradenton, Fla., welcomed the largest class of newcomers in it's 11-year history.

So, which club do you think has the biggest fan following? Some would say Manchester United, others would say Real Madrid and a few would even say Bayern Munich. There isn't really a way to find out the exact number of fans of a specific football club... Or is there?

Maybe Facebook can give us a good sample for our "research".

Harry Redknapp, while taking a nap on a recent flight, was pranked by an Arsenal supporter who snapped this candid photograph of him holding up an Arsenal notepad in front of his face.

Knowing Redknapp's track record of telling a Sky Sports reporter to f*** off, I'm show the Arsenal supporter would have met a similar fate if ‘ol Harry would have woken up to see a bloke holding a piece of paper in front of his face.

According to reports Arsenal are about to offer a contract to Japanese youngster Ryo Miyachi this week ahead fo him signing in January! Check out him playing below:

"He's obviously got something against me. It's just weird."

You don't say Ryan! We all know that some footballers are, how do you say it.. a bit thick. However, congratulations must be offered to Ryan Shawcross who has taken the definition of stupid to another level.

The boss hates the new squad limit rules it has been well publicised and I agree with him. But, how brilliantly has he stuffed their new rules down their throats it is rather spectacular...

Arsenal have named seventy players in their squad list to the FA, and none of the 20 are English:

Manuel Almunia, Andrey Arshavin, Nicklas Bendtner, Marouane Chamakh, Gael Clichy, Denilson, Vassiriki Abou Diaby, Johan Djourou, Emmanuel Eboue, Lukasz Fabianski, Cesc Fabregas, Laurent Koscielny, Vito Mannone, Samir Nasri, Tomas Rosicky, Bacary Sagna, Alex Song, Robin Van Persie, Thomas Vermaelen, Sebastien Squillaci.

Young Arsenal frontman Carlos Vela was introduced for his good friend Giovani Dos Santos with just 17 minutes on the clock in Mexico's one nil drama victory over South American outfit Colombia.

That makes sure for Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger that the 21 years old will come back to London without any knock and injury, so that he will be available for Saturday's Premier League encounter with the Bolton Wanderers at Emirates Stadium.

There really is little else around so I thought I'd reflect on the start to the season, and one player in particular who looks re-born -Tomas Rosicky

This summer he was close to leaving, not of his own will I hastily add, but there has always been big interest from Germany in him but Werder Bremen and Everton both inquired over his availability as Arsenal were pursuing defenders from both the clubs, Phil Jagielka and Per Mertesacker were the targets on the Arsenal side.

Hello again. It's been a long time since I've posted here. Life had taken me in some different directions and I had settled into retirement from football punditry. As the cliche goes, old habits are hard to break so here I am again for another Champions League season.

I plan to review each group in more detail before the group stages kick off on September 14.

So, Theo Walcott must be dropped from the England set-up immediately. He is the sole reason why England did not win the World Cup.

He can't pass or shoot and doesn't have a football brain.

It is Arsenal's fault for destroying a young talent who has clearly not lived up to his potential, he can't even control a long-range pass from Steven Gerrard.

Everyone watching the England, Switzerland match will have cringed when seeing the injury Theo Walcott suffered tonight after landing awkwardly on his right ankle. My first instinct was that he had done his ankle ligaments and that means a pretty long lay-off but if his studs were caught and with his ankle looking like this.

Young 21 years old Arsenal forward Carlos Vela has a really unpredicted opportunity now to shine for Arsene Wenger's Gunners side in the next weeks.

Vela has missed out so far to earn a starting place for the Premier League side, but with a few players injured actually including Robin van Persie (6 Weeks), Theo Walcott (4-6 weeks), Nicklas Bendtner (3-4 weeks) as well as Andrey Arshavin in poor form, the Mexican will definitely get his chance to join the Arsenal boat for the title race.

Young 21 years old Carlos Vela has sent a message to his home country Mexico today, as he converted calmly and with great composure a lovely Cesc Fabregas delivery to make it 4:1 for the Gunners against the Trotters.

The Mexican has received really bad treating by his fellow natives as well as the Mexican press in the last week , especially the latter ones have produced stories which are really far from reality.

While it is good that US International Stewart Holden is playing 90 minutes with Bolton, a look at his passes reveals that he is a casualty of Bolton's philosophy. Arsenal controls possession, completes way more passes... Picture worth a thousand words...

Mexican sensation Carlos Vela scored twice as Arsene Wenger's Arsenal side destroyed Portuguese outfit SC Braga last evening at Emirates Stadium by 6:0. Skipper Cesc Fabregas got two as well with Chamakh as well as Arshavin on the scoring board.

The 21 years old already scored on the weekend against Bolton as he slotted home calmly a fantastic Cesc Fabregas chip pass.

I was at the Emirates last night to witness the dismantling of a team who I thought would put up a bigger fight then again, Arsenal simply cut through them like a hot knife through butter.

Marouane Chamakh is the best natural forward we have had at the club for a long time, he is pure center forward, hard working, holds the ball up very well, a brilliant first touch a defenders nightmare.

Enjoy!

I have been provided with every answer Arsene Wenger gave at this evenings shareholders Q&A. For easiness of reading I am going to split it into three articles and pick out the most important bits, leaving out the stupid questions that just waste mine and your time.

_ _

Before the first question was even asked Bob Wilson encouraged Arsene to say a few words to the shareholders about his new contract and just talk about how he finds being at the club right now, Wenger described how 'this is the club I love' and how all his energy is channelled into doing the very best he can; "I dedicate all my energy to the club".

Most media outlets are reporting that Arsene Wenger pushed an assistant referee and will be charged.

However, I'm told that this is not the case and he is in fact in trouble for patting the official on the back in a sarcastic manner.

It sounds pretty ridiculous but his manner in recent times has become more and more fraught on the touchline, especially when things are not going Arsenal's way.

When Kieran Gibbs hobbled off the pitch minus his football boot during extra time last night, it was clear what was wrong with him.

It is thought that Arsenal are pretty certain that he has suffered a broken metatarsal, the bone in question being the second metatarsal on his left foot. Last November he suffered a badly broken third metatarsal on the same foot after a nasty challenge on him in the dying moments of the game against Standard Liege he duly missed most of last season.

*Red Bull New York's Rafael Marquez, who will play Friday against the Galaxy at Home Depot Center, was one of 13 Mexican internationals fined or suspended for a party they threw in the team hotel in Monterrey last month in violation of team rules after an exhibition match against Colombia, according to the Associated Press.

Yes, a second post today. Feel special, very special.

It seems that Arsenal are set to add to their backroom staff with Swedish fitness coach Marcus Svensson, it looks like the club were in quite a fight for his services too. He will be Tony Colbert's 'assistant fitness coach' and speaking to a Swedish paper said that he hadn't accepted the offer yet, but will do soon:

"I have not taken the job yet, it will probably take about a week before it completed"

He is hardly a star studded appointment, he has bore witness to the training ground delights of Preston, Derby, Rochdale and Notts County but beat 376 applicants, it is claimed.

Let me set my stall out straight away; I was convinced that Mark Schwarzer was going to sign. I thought both sides had reached the point of no return, there was no way it could not happen. Well, not for the first time I was wrong and a lot of fans were very angry, despite knowing yesterday that the deal was in effect hanging by the tiniest of threads.

I was approached by a writer who works for a popular travel comparison site wanting to give Arsenal fans information ahead of their ventures into Europe for the Champions League. I thought it would be a good idea and something quite unique. Your feedback is appreciated and I hope this is of help..

20|20's longstanding relationship with Arsenal FC continues as the club officially opened their new look and redeveloped Club Level at the Emirates Stadium last weekend in time for the first Premier League home game of the season against Blackpool.

As I have said quite a lot these past few days, there is a large section of the supporters that are disgruntled, they feel we didn't buy what we needed yet again and want answers. The negativity is infectious and you could say that since the closing of the transfer window the mood has been pretty grim.

Young Arsenal frontman Carlos Vela was introduced for his good friend Giovani Dos Santos with just 17 minutes on the clock in Mexico's one nil drama victory over South American outfit Colombia.

That makes sure for Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger that the 21 years old will come back to London without any knock and injury, so that he will be available for Saturday's Premier League encounter with the Bolton Wanderers at Emirates Stadium.

Injuries are always going to happen, but I'd much rather they happen now than a few months down the line.

If we are lucky Theo will just miss this weekends game against Bolton at home which is no real biggie, Robin van Persie will be missing for Bolton, Braga, Sunderland, Spurs, West Brom, Belgrade, Chelsea and Birmingham the majority of them we can survive without him.

So just over 24 hours after Fabio Capello expected Theo to be out for just under two weeks, he returns home to magically increase the duration of the injury three-fold, at least with the confirmation from Arsenal that Theo Walcott will probably be out for six weeks.

Young 21 years old Arsenal forward Carlos Vela has a really unpredicted opportunity now to shine for Arsene Wenger's Gunners side in the next weeks.

Vela has missed out so far to earn a starting place for the Premier League side, but with a few players injured actually including Robin van Persie (6 Weeks), Theo Walcott (4-6 weeks), Nicklas Bendtner (3-4 weeks) as well as Andrey Arshavin in poor form, the Mexican will definitely get his chance to join the Arsenal boat for the title race.

They say bad things come in three's

• Robin van Persie
• Theo Walcott
• Thomas Vermaelen

Three important players have not survived the international break, again, leaving us with two new defenders to face Kevin 'elbows' Davies. Apparently it is an achilles injury that Vermaelen has suffered and it is likely he will be back for Braga but it means that Sebastian Squillaci and Laurent Koscielny will have a tricky afternoon tomorrow, there are plenty easier players to play against than Davies.

Saturday (11th):
- EPL: Everton v Manchester United - 7:40am - FSP
- EPL: Manchester City v Blackburn - 9:55am - FSP
- EPL: Chelsea vs. West Ham - 9:55am - ESPN2
- EPL: Arsenal vs. Bolton - 10am - FSC
- EPL: West Brom vs. Tottenham - 12pm - FSC
- Championship: Burnley v Preston North End - 12:10pm - FSP
- Serie A: AC Milan vs.

So today we face Bolton as proper football returns I'd say I am looking forward to the game but by the time I actually get to watch it early on Sunday morning the score will somehow have filtered down to me, spoiling it somewhat.

Despite what some people say, it is not going to be the easiest game we have ever faced at the Emirates.

Young 21 years old Carlos Vela has sent a message to his home country Mexico today, as he converted calmly and with great composure a lovely Cesc Fabregas delivery to make it 4:1 for the Gunners against the Trotters.

The Mexican has received really bad treating by his fellow natives as well as the Mexican press in the last week , especially the latter ones have produced stories which are really far from reality.

Apologies for the lateness of this post, work, a football game and a busted ankle have all contrived to have me hanging over my keyboard wishing that I could sleep.

But, being the lovely person I am, I will provide you with sufficient reading material to help you get off to sleep.

Just how many blogs do that eh?

I received an e-mail from a PR company advising on the latest events Arsenal players are involved with in their bid to raise funds for the clubs charity of the season Centerpoint.

I thought rather than just re-hash quotes etc. it would be nice to see how the work with Centerpoint is developing.

Theo Walcott √

Robin van Persie √

Abou Diaby √

Nicklas Bendtner √

Thomas Vermaelen √

Aaron Ramsey √

Emmanuel Frimpong √

So who is going to be next? Cesc? Wilshere? Arshavin? Vela? Song?

Apart from looking at those names sitting out look at the players we still have out on the pitch, Chamakh, Arshavin, Cesc, Song, Sagna.

Just a fairly quick blog today before I'm off to London to see the game tonight.

Arsene Wenger has been speaking about bad tackles and it is clear nobody wants to listen to his views on it any-more. The media have continuously made out that every time he speaks about them (because they ask him his thoughts), they paint it as if he is just having a moan.
