If I hadn't read it in the Guardian I would have just laughed, but they have made a serious
accusation against Arsene Wenger. They reckon that the Arsenal manager said after his team's win at
Portsmouth on Wednesday that Chelsea and and Carlo Ancelotti "will drop points and steadily implode
over the remainder of the season [.
Arsenal's Emirates Stadium will turn red this Sunday as Arsenal play host to Manchester United, in

be given a flag to hold up [.

studied at the University College. In an article this evening from the Middle Eastern Financial
Times, it was also revealed that he was an Arsenal fan! The article said: Mr Abdulmutallab,

hackers, and "Arsenal" and "Chelsea" are top of the list! Universal Broadcasting News has just

With the glut of injuries at the Emirates this season, Aaron Ramsey has been given his big chance
to prove that he could fit easily into the Arsenal first team, and he has capped a run of eight
straight games with a brilliant goal against Portsmouth last week. Manager Arsene Wenger believes
that the young Welshman [.
The FA Cup third round match between West Ham and Arsenal is going to illustrate yet again that the
venerated cup competition is now not a priority for some of the biggest clubs in England any more.
Arsene Wenger has his challenge for the Premier League title back on course, and is not prepared to
risk [.
20 years old Mexican Carlos Vela was a key player yesterday for Arsene Wenger's Gunner Side as
he produced two very crucial assists to help Arsenal to turn around things in the FA Cup clash
against West Ham at Upton Park.
Vela has handed a start from the Arsenal Manager to get match time and finally he repaid the
French man with two remarkable assists, first as Alex Song find Carlos Vela in the box and as the
Mexican lost control over his body the play was almost finished, but he found a way to keep his
balance to nudge the ball to Welsh teenager Aaron Ramsey and the young lad slotted home with a
firing effort into the far corner.
Arsene Wenger believes that the Croatian striker Eduardo will end up as an integral part of the
Arsenal team again this season, and thinks that he is returning to his previous form. "He has done
much more than I expected from him at the start of the season," said Wenger. "If we keep him injury
free [.
Highly-rated Legia Warsaw goalkeeper Ján Mucha flew to London earlier today after being invited
for a trial by Arsenal. The 27-year-old, who was previously Lukasz Fabianski's understudy at Legia,
is said to be hot property in his homeland due to a terrific bunch of performances in Slovakia's
FIFA World Cup Qualification group.
Arsene Wenger has continued his cat-and-mouse game with the media again this evening when he was
continually pressed to answer the question; "Are you going to make a big-name signing this month?"
The Arsenal manager decided to give an enigmatic answer again, which seemed to indicate that he
would prefer to create a "big-name", than go [.
The Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp has come out and said that there was absolutely no chance of
Arsene Wenger competing with Man City for the signature of another Arsenal old-boy, Patrick Vieira.
He gives us an insight into the way Wenger analyses the stats of every single game, checking the
speed, length and regularity of each [.
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that the Switzerland defender Phillipe Senderos will
probably leave this month, but he didn't do much to help him find a new club when he said that "his
aim is not to play football"! Everyone was under the impression that Wenger had a problem with
Senderos because he never [.
And so to part two.
Sunday's win at Bolton made a lot of people sit up and take notice, partly because of the
battling nature of the victory, and partly because of the inspirational form of our captain. But
mainly because it meant that three points tonight could send us top of the league.
Sure, Chelsea would have a game in hand, which they would only need to draw to return to the
summit.
Arsenal were 2-1 down to Bolton and on the defence when William Gallas scythed through Mark Davies
and left him for dead on the floor, but the referee, Alan Wiley, waved play on and Cesc Fabregas
finished off the counter attack by scoring the equaliser. Owen Coyle was absolutely furious that
neither the referee or [.
Arsene Wenger was extremely pleased with his teams performance in coming back from two goals down
to beat Bolton tonight, but he doesn't think that being top now will mean anything with so many
games still to play. The next four fixtures will pit Arsenal against Aston Villa, Man Utd,
Liverpool and Chelsea, and he appreciates [.
It seems to be a bi-weekly occurence this season that there is a report about Arsenal losing one or
two players to injury, either on the training ground or after a game, and this week seems to be no
different. The much-improved Abou Diaby is the main loss for the Cup game against Stoke City this
[...
20 years old Mexican Carlos Vela will be in the starting line-up for Arsene Wenger's Arsenal
side, when the Gunners heading to the Britannia Stadium for a battle with Stoke City in the 4th
Round of this years FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Vela will probably start on the left hand side or maybe in the central forward position, but it
is up to the Arsenal Manager which team he picks to shut down a motivated Stoke City side.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been rewarded for his continued progress in the Arsenal Reserve team after
being handed a place in today's starting XI against Stoke. The 18-year-old midfielder, who was
captain of last season's FA Youth Cup and Academy League Cup 'double' winning team, recently signed
a new long-term contract at the club which led many to suggest [.
Sol Campbell makes his second debut as an Arsenal player against Stoke today. The English defender
is accompanied in defence by versatile Frenchman Francis Coquelin as well as his fellow
countryman Mikael Silvestre and Armand Traore. Forest Gate-born youngster Jay Emmanuel-Thomas also
starts, as we exclusively told you yesterday.
Arsene Wenger has responded to claims that he fielded a weakened team against Stoke because he
didn't care if they got knocked out or not. But the Arsenal manager is adamant that he still
expected to win the game, but Stoke got the luck of the breakaway goal. "I didn't want to go out on
purpose [...]
Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger has decided to left the 20 years old Mexican Carlos Vela out of
the the 18-man Gunners Squad for tonights Premier League clash with Aston Villa at Villa Park.

afternoon against Stoke City.

crutches with a suspected fractured fibula. Full Article To Come.

Cup match against West Ham, but insists that he is still playing to win the game, as well as the
whole competition. "I believe the fans trust me to put out a very competitive side and they know

2010 promises to be an exciting year. At the halfway point of the season, we're in a three way
battle for the title, have a very winnable looking tie in the Champions League, and are about to
kick off our FA Cup campaign. Some of our players look to be coming of age, and the progression of
youngsters means that we have real competition for places (in certain positions, anyway).
So far, round three of the FA Cup, one of my favourite weekends of the year, has been something
of a damp squib a couple of replays is all that lower league sides have managed against Premiership
opposition. (Note: I wrote this sentence before the United-Leeds game). Nonetheless, the
cup still evokes fantastic memories, and no matter what anyone says about the competition losing
its appeal (only because you lost, Phil Brown), it still holds a special place in the hearts of
fans everywhere.
Fran Merida, Jack Wilshere and Carlos Vela all start at Upton Park in this evening's FA Cup 3rd
round tie with West Ham. The fringe trio are accompanied by experienced players such as Alex Song
and Eduardo, while a strong defence which consists of Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen and Silvestre also
start.
Arsenal's reward for getting past West Ham in the FA Cup is a tough away tie to Stoke City. The
fourth round draw was made just minutes after Arsene Wenger's side scored two late goals against to
triumph over a spirited Hammers team. Tony Pulis' tricky Stoke team beat York City yesterday with
Rory Delap's long-throw providing the [.

After the FA Cup win over West Ham, the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger defended his need to give
some first team players a rest, but he also admitted that there were even more injuries to take
into consideration. He was asked if he may have to carry on playing his reserves in the following
rounds of [.
The Arsenal defensive midfielder Alexandre Song has now left for the African Nations Cup, and
Arsene Wenger has indicated that he will have to make some adjustments for the team to cope in his
absence. "We will miss him because he's an important player. In the system we play he plays in
front of the defence [.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger may be getting a late Christmas present as the news has broken that the
Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner is close to returning to the training ground. It was originally
believed he would be back around now, but Wenger had inferred that Bendtner's comeback was being
delayed, but the player himself now believes [.
Arsenal have been boosted by the news that Nicklas Bendtner will return to full training tomorrow,
and the player himself has already targeted the upcoming Bolton match as his comeback game. The
21-year-old has been kept out the Gunners squad for over two months after firstly sustaining a
groin injury, before later having to undergo a [.
Arsene Wenger doesn't seem very confident about buying anyone at the moment, despite believing that
it is important to get in early during the transfer window. From his nonchalant tone of voice it
would seem that Arsenal are not really tracking anyone! "Ideally because of the number of games you
have in January, you want to [.
The Super Bowl XLIV may be a few weeks away, but that hasn't stopped people from going nuts when it
comes to precognitive Super Bowl betting action. One team that is getting some major love is the
+800 Minnesota Vikings who have a first week bye, and perhaps one of the most balanced teams in [.
I caught a bit of the Stoke-Fulham game last night, and while Fulham weren't at their best, it
isn't many teams that rip them apart as the hosts did in the opening half. With a run of matches
against Chelsea, Man United and Liverpool following the fourth round clash, Wenger will probably
rotate as he did against West Ham, and that could be very dangerous.
Tonight's vital Premier League clash against Bolton has been postponed due to the severe weather
conditions in the North London area.
Legia Warsaw have dismissed reports stating that their Ján Mucha has flown over to London for a
trial with Arsenal. Slovakian TV station STV1 cooked up a rumour yesterday which revealed that
Mucha was on the verge of a training stint at London Colney. However, the Polish side's sporting
director sporting director Miroslaw Trzeciak has rubbished those reports.
