It has been a long time coming, but tonight Theo Walcott has shown the world what his is capable of
doing. Scoring three goals and make run after run. This following a great display
against Andorra has put Wlacott ahead of Beckham and Bentley in the pecking order fro the right
wing role. What must [.
Arsenal's casualty list is not only long, but there is no indication as to when it will be reduced.
Mikael Silvestre joined us carrying an injury and still looks no closer to even being included in
the first team squad. This player spent most of last season out injured, so whilst his
experience is welcomed, it [.
The season started with fear and trepidation as to who will replace Flamini. We had two
candidates, Diaby and Denilson. One was injury prone, the other was prone to erratic
form. Arsenal fans held their breath as it was left to Denilson to fill the void. Undoubtedly
Denislon had tremendous ability and potential, but as so [.
On paper a home game against Premiership newbies Hull City should an easy three points. But life
isn't paper and the reality is that Hull will not come to the Emirates and lay down.
They have a manager in Phil Brown who is basically a Sam Allardyce clone. He will have seen the
problems that Bolton caused us under Fat Sam and will try to replicate them.
There is no doubt that Emmanuel Eboue isn't the most popular of Arsenal players amongst
Gooners.
He doesn't endear himself to the Gooner faithful with his sometimes infuriating antics. The
play-acting and diving has to stop before he can begin to build bridges with the Arsenal crowd.
However, speak to members of the Arsenal squad and they absolutely love the bloke and say that he
is great for team morale.
Arsenal's International stars were in action for their respective countries tonight and it was the
World Cup Qualifiers that became the main talking point of the week. Here at Gooner Talk, we look
to bring you the latest updates and results on how the Arsenal players are doing for their
countries with a brief summary of [.
Blackburn 0-4 Arsenal
Is there a better way to warm up for an arduous trip to the Ukraine than to thump Blackburn
4-0?
It's funny, because you could argue 4-0 was generous to Arsenal; the last two goals were classic
late game-killers and Blackburn caused our defence a fair amount of problems all day.
By 1970's Gooner I was critical of the performance at Kiev last Wednesday and some of the Arsenal
Analysis readers were hostile to my thoughts. My objection was mainly due to the choice of tactics
and formation for that game which meant that two of the most influential Arsenal players (Fabregas
and Van Persie) were shifted to positions on the pitch which were not most suited for them.
I'm still recovering from that. Tip of the cap to the coach and players of Hull City - they
played an outstanding game, whereas the high paid players of Arsenal looked liked they didn't care
Geovanni's goal was sublime, but he was given too much time and too much space. William Gallas is
once again facing a hail of criticism for his shoddy defending and leadership.
There's a host of Arsenal players to keep your eyes on today. While Aaron Ramsey didn't get on
the pitch for Wales, backup keeper Lukasz Fabianski got the start in goal for Poland with Artur
Boruc suspended? Or out of action. Regardless, they'll be much more later on today/tomorrow. Here's
to a great (and boring) day of internationals, plus hoping for no injuries.

Year after year the media talks of Arsenal's weak defence, a defence they say that cannot handle
aerial threats, a defence that does not like playing against big centre forwards. Is this
true or is it one more myth that needs to be blown up for its fabrication. The media has
never forgiven Wenger for dismantling the [.
Johan Djourou became the latest player to quietly extend his stay at Arsenal, following on from
Clichy, Sagna and Adebayor. Djourou, people forget is young and in most clubs would not have
got anywhere near a first team place. He has three experienced players in front of him from
whom he can learn a lot [.
I would say that I cant believe the comments made by Kevin Nolan but unfortunately it really
doesn't surprise me.
The player is a mug and to tell a team mate to give a fellow professional a kick is a fucking
liberty.
He tries to redeem himself and say that football is a contact sport, well I agree with that but
football isn't a sport where you deliberately go around kicking people.
I wrote before that underestimating Hull City would bite us on the arse and that has proved
correct.
Hull City fully deserved the three points at the Emirates and credit is due to Phil Brown and the
Hull players for the way they performed.
Hull were very impressive and they took advantage of a complacent Arsenal side who have to stop
believing that they can simply turn up at the Emirates and wipe teams aside.
