Limbering up for the next challenge

Normally that would mean that the team is flying. Not necessarily in a physical form but in terms of form, confidence and results. A good continuous run of positive results would probably equate to a team in flying condition. In this instance, I'm referring "full flight" to the numbers and quantity.

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has warned Olympiakos that breaking the Gunners' long-standing unbeaten streak at home will be an uphill task for the Greek giants.

Arsene Wenger has led the Gunners through a brilliant spell during which they have gone undefeated at home during the Group Stage since 2003 and Ramsey believes that the squad can take tremendous confidence from playing at the Emirates.

It's a very slow Arsenal news day today, maybe it's not such a good idea for the internationals to be played on a Friday as it makes the non-football weekends feel even longer.

I can't help revisiting how the game at OT last Sunday panned out. As conspiracy theories go, I know that this one is rather tame but there are questions to be asked about the team and the tactics and the massacre that was witnessed.

According to The Mirror, Jack Wilshere may not kick a ball in anger for Arsenal until December. The young England schemer has yet to play a competitive game for the Gunners this season after injuring himself in pre-season and is currently forced to wear a surgical boot.

Arsene Wenger asked for more time for his back four to jell together after their shocking 4-3 defeat at Blackburn last weekend and based on the first-half showing against Bolton, a lot still remains to be desired.

A full week of training for the Gunners' starting back line, which comprises of Bacary Sagna, Kieran Gibbs, Laurent Koscielny, and deadline day signing Per Mertesacker, appears to be insufficient as a lack of coordination at the Emirates handed the visiting Trotters some good scoring opportunities.
