Match Preview Arsenal dominated today's games for long spells, despite only managing to put the
game away 2-0 in the final 10 minutes. An 83rd minute header from Nicklas Bendtner broke the
deadlock, and Neves Denilson put the game beyond doubt with a superbly taken strike from 20 yards
out. Arsene Wenger's younger players have once again proved their worth and will go into the fourth
round full
Recent interviews with Arsene Wenger and Gilberto Silva have heard both say that Arsenal don't need
to spend big to be competitive in the Premier League and it was this philosophy which Arsene Wenger
followed in signing new players this season, despite the fact that the powers that be at Arsenal
have been constantly telling the fans that we have copious amounts of transfer money available.
Now that Arsene Wenger has finally signed his new deal many are hoping to see Arsenal compete for
some major silverware for the first time since 3 seasons ago. Wenger is among these, and feels that
with the backing of the club's board of directors he can help Arsenal to some serious silverware.
He assured Arsenal.com that he has the board's backing saying, "I have had many moments when I have
Who was Arsenal's best summer signing? Arsene Wenger 40% Bacary Sagna 7% Eduardo 23% Lassana Diarra
28% Well, unsurprisingly the fans have decided that Arsene Wenger was this sumer's most influential

Arsene Wenger didn't splash out much cash during the summer transfer window (summary of Arsenal's
transfer window activity here), bringing in only Bacary Sagna, Eduardo da Silva, Lassana Diarra,
Lukasz Fabianksi, and Havard Nordtveit. However, there is no question that we have gotten some
quality players through Wenger's astute eye for talent. Some would argue that Wenger himself was

Arsenal captain William Gallas has stated that he is hoping to be fit in time for Saturday's derby
against London arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The French international missed our last 2 games due
to a groin injury but his recovery is going well and he is likely to return for Saturday. Gallas'
return will be welcome by Arsenal fans, as we have played the last few games with a makeshift back
Alisher Usmanov, the Russian billionaire who has been rumored to be milling over a possible Arsenal
takeover bid, has already lost the affection of many Arsenal fans. Usmanov's lawyers have coerced
web hosting companies to take down sites including titles he finds offensive. Craig Murray, former
ambassador to Uzbekistan, has had his site taken down, as has Tim Ireland, the owner of
Jens Lehmann, Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper since the 2003/04 season seems to have lost his
first-choice status at the club after 2 high-profile errors in Arsenal's first two league games. He
was taken out due to a reported injury, and his replacement, Manuel Almunia, seems to have played
the better of the two in his absence. The veteran shot-stopper was recently backed by Germany coach
Arsene Wenger has assured Arsenal fans that young gunners Justin Hoyte and Nicklas Bendtner will
both be at Arsenal after the January transfer window. Hoyte had already proclaimed his allegiance
to the club, claiming that he would rather fight for a spot in the heavily contested right-back
position than go for guaranteed first team football at a lesser club.
Wednesday will see Arsenal play Sevilla in the first week of fixtures of the 2007 Champions League.
These two teams are heavy favorites to go through to the knockout rounds, and this encounter should
prove to be a scintillating one. Sevilla, who finished 3rd in Spain's La Liga last season, beat
Recreativo Huelva 4-1 today, despite a missed penalty from Alexander Kerzhakov.
