To all the fans of Standard Liege, I want to extend my apologies for the the Premier League match is more important than the meaningless final game away to Olympiakos. If it meant that the Greek side wins and go through to the next round, then there is nothing you can do about it. This is just the advantage and privilege of qualifying to the next stage of the Champions League with a game to spare, that we get to parade and field the reserves and future stars of the club.

Greece is the location this time for Arsenal's final group game in the Champions League. However this time it's the young guns turn to take centerstage. Arsene Wenger takes his youngest side ever to an away European tie in what is the dead rubber for us as we have already confirmed our participation in the knockout stage of the premier European competition.

After the wonderful exploits in the second half the Liverpool match to fight back from a goal down to win, to lose tonight away to Burnley would just make the earlier go to waste. Having claw our way back into the championship battle with potentially just 3 points separating us from the top spot, anything [.

Arsenal reserves vs. Man City by Phil Gregory Nothing like a bit of Carling Cup action to soothe the pain of the weekend's result! When the draw came out, I was admittedly apprehensive, being that at that point, City were playing their first team in the competition and were on top form. Now however, I'm viewing [.

Counting on Carlos and Jack

The first semifinal spot of the season comes into contention tonight for Arsenal. It is the quaterfinal of the Carling Cup and it is against our newest member of the clubs that we dislike. Now, I'm sure we all remember what happened the last time we visited Man City but I doubt that we will be able to witness any similar incidents.

It's always the top corners aren't they

It wasn't meant to be was it. A bunch of youngsters isin't really going to match the multi-millions worth of players. With Mark Hughes desperate to land his first trophy with Manchester City to save his ass, he started with his first choice players and duly sent Arsenal packing out of Carling Cup.

The win against Stoke put us back with a shout with regards to the league campaign but it came with a price. Four more players joins the 8 already in the medical room. Gallas, Traore, Eboue and Rosicky all suffered injuries following last Saturday's game and will face time on the sidelines. The long list itself is a very scary one.

Our young guns had a nice run out. Their somewhat unpolished skills and endeavor fell short but Arsenal reserves showed they are capable of competing and even dominating a European tie. A 1 – 0 loss away to the Greek champions, with our youngest ever Champions League squad, is not a bad result by any means.

Nothing to be ashamed about.

In the end, the men did beat the boys but not without getting a real fight to win it. As Arsenal broke the Champions League record by fielding the youngest ever squad to start the premier European competition, the young guns gave a very good account of themselves and left the stadium with their heads held high.

With the matches coming thick and fast as always during the year end and the new year signalling the end of a decade, I will take this oppourtunity to reflect back on the past 10 years of Arsenal Football Club. Over the next 15 days, in between Arsenal games, it's as good a time as [...]

The 2002/03 season saw the retirement of Mr. Arsenal, Tony Adams. The one-club man embodies everything that is Arsenal. Battling with alcoholism half of his career but always giving 110% whenever he's on the pitch wearing the red and white. I always found it weird that Alan Shearer was chosen to lead England in France'08 [.

Continuing to look back at the decade that was for Arsenal, we come to season 2003/04. The history books were rewritten as Arsenal reclaimed back the Premier League by remaining unbeaten throughout the entire campaign. This was virtually the same team that finished runners-up to Man United in the previous season, except for the replacement [.

Continuing on from yesterday's topic, topic we'll take a look whether Wenger needs to dip into the transfer market next month. Today, it will be all on the midfield and forward positions. In the new formation that Wenger has employed this season, there's only 3 midfield positions to be filled each match.
