Titi returns to help guide Arsenal win a silverware!

Arsenal face Ipswich Town in a must win first leg Carling Cup semi-final on Wednesday night. The Gunners go into the match off the back of two disappointing draws that they looking back on they should have won.

The week gone by has been interesting in a lot of ways. Arsenal may not be having the best of times on the pitch, but off the pitch the Gunners are looking very impressive. Arsenal manager, Arsène Wenger has been named World Coach of the Decade.

Thanks for giving me the chance to rest

The transfer window has already been opened for 18 days but there is still no sign of impending transfer coming to Arsenal. In Chinese, the number 18 represents something which means very prosperous. In that sense, should Arsene Wenger announce any new signings today, I'm very sure he would be a massive player who would bring trophies to the club.

Joleon Lescott, who was linked to villa before he made the switch to Manchester City, is set to join Darren Bent at the midland club.

The move will not come as a suprise. Lescott has already stated his desire to play first team football. A point he made clear in early December when he stated that; "I'm not happy with the situation.

His performances may not be on par with those of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo but Robin van Persie is quickly beginning to realize the potential that has made him one of Arsenal's greatest assets. In fact, based on current form, one can make a case the Dutchman being the club's most valuable player (MVP).

Arsenal have progressed into the FA Cup fourth round after a convincing 3-1 win over Leeds United at Elland Road. Goals from Samir Nasri, Bacary Sagna and Robin van Persie secured the victory for Arsene Wenger's side.

Arsene Wenger had a lot of nice things to say about the second goal against Wigan. And I've no doubt even the worst critics of Arsenal will enjoy that goal and can watch it over and over again. The pass from Cesc was incredible and the finish was a piece of art.

I was thrilled by that goal but fell in love with the first one.

Eden Project.

Former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry believes that this is the year where the team completes its metamorphosis from an exciting young squad to a legitimate title contender.

Arsene Wenger's men, who are within striking distance of league leaders Manchester United, will soon square off against Henry's most recent European club FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.

Look Nick, getting past 2 is easy.

Before we turn our attention to yet another cup match, I want to take a little moment to reflect on the league. Manchester United has just gone 5 points ahead of us, now that they've finally played their match in hand.
