In bringing Sol Campbell back Arsene Wenger has done something that I never thought he would ever do and re-signed a former player.
Wenger is a stubborn man but perhaps this sudden change of policy is the sign of a person who will even go against his own principles to bring back silverware to us.

You can now get the exclusive Arsenal Periodic Table (sized A3 = 29.7cm x 42 cm) for only £2.99 plus p&p.

It's 118 of Arsenal's greatest players and managers in a periodic table, along with the years they played for the club. Specifically designed so the top 24 Arsenal players are listed seperately in the box below the main table, this is a fantastic poster that would grace the wall of any Arsenal fan.

The Game Just like last Sunday, there were some scary moments tonight and our dream was almost shattered when Bolton took a 0-2 lead. But, the determination, tenacity and will of the Arsenal players made sure ...

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).

By 1970's GoonerIt looked like Wenger's starting team selection was going to back fire on him until class and experience was introduced in the second half. Nasri and especially Diaby put some steel, ball winning and skill in the midfield and everything turned round.Three Arsenal players were underperforming and when Wilshere and Merida were substituted the whole balance of the team was suddenly

The player interviews after games on ATVO are generally quite uninteresting. Most of the times you can predict what the players will say as the questions are quite leading. Every once in a while though, an interview gives me something insightful or thought provoking.

Sagna's post match talk after the West Ham game falls in this category.

There is not much good news in the papers this morning regarding Arsenal players and targets, and the first story has only confirmed my worst fears. While Arsene Wenger has been getting all the youngsters in his squad to sign extended contracts this season, the talented Spanish midfielder Fran Merida has resisted all the offers put [.

Sol Campbell will be returning to Arsenal to see out the rest of the season. This seems to be the week of ex-arsenal players returning to the spot light with Patrick Vieira joining Manchester City not long ago. Check out these articles on Sol Campbell and his chances at securing a place with the England squad next summer.

As a Spurs fan, of course I always love it when former Arsenal players remind Gooners of their quality especially the ones, like Flamini, who were let go in their prime (before it, even).

So here's 'Flammers', or whatever nickname he was given by the Arsenal-supporting, espresso-sipping Justins who dwell in Islington ('Matty' is more likely), scoring a rather fine strike for Milan against lowly Novara a third division side in the Coppa Italia:

Nice.

If we win the sequel to yesterday's game against Bolton on Wednesday night by two clear goals we leapfrog Man U and the Chav's to go to the top of the Premiership (but we will have played an extra game) we will not be allowed to forget that, just listen out for it, it will drive you nuts.

We would also go top because we have scored the most goals in the League.

Karthik (KV) explains how Nicklas Bendtner can bring back a much-needed presence to the Arsenal attack following the injury to Robin van Persie.

"I want to be top scorer in the Premier League, top scorer at the World Cup and, within five years, I want to be among the best strikers in the world" were the lofty aims set by a giant striker at the beginning of the season.

Oh, the hypocrisy!! How richly ironic for Bolton fans to be complaining about a hard foul! Bolton got a taste of their own medicine last night, and -surprise, surprise, they didn't like it. Do I feel bad that Arsenal got an equalizer following the foul? HELL NO! Would anyone have felt bad for Arsenal if James Vaughn had put Everton up 3-1 last week?

How dare he?
How dare William Gallas make a genuine attempt to win the ball and then end up injuring that poor Bolton Wanderers player.
That poor Bolton Wanderers player. That poor English player. Injured by that big French meanie.
And why didn't we kick the ball out?

Apparently American rapper/businessman Jay-Z is a bit of an Arsenal fan. This is a good thing, because the more US celebrities we get endorsing soccer, the better. However, I can't help thinking that Jay-Z's support for The Gunners is verging on the patronising. He's apparently offered the Arsenal players an all-expenses paid trip to New York [.

The word is that the Catalan giants Barcelona might lose four of their best young players. They are: Spanish striker Jeffren Suarez, Mexican midfielder Jonathan dos Santos, Israeli forward Gai Assulin and Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara. They are all reportedly on the radar of English clubs as Barca has time and time again produced players who have achieved excellence in their career.
