by CARL ELDRIDGE Oh, the drudgery of international week. Let's get these games out the way and look forward to the trip to Manchester City on Saturday. Club news items are few and far between as the back pages discuss the merits or otherwise of England beating Slovenia and turning the attention to the crucial World Cup qualifier against Croatia on Wednesday at Wembley.

by CARL ELDRIDGE April 24, 2010. A date for your diary. A date for Emmanuel Adebayor's diary. Yes, you guessed correctly. It is the day when Manchester City and Mr Adebayor pay a visit to the home of football.

His indefensible actions yesterday in front of the travelling Gooners in the 4-2 defeat at Eastlands are sure to have an impact on the kind of reception the Togo tosser can expect, wouldn't you say?

Morning Insiders another weeks ends with a 2-1 victory for England yesterday, as you would expect most of todays papers concentrate on the Internationals. We have managed to find a few Arsenal related stories from todays papers. Below's a quick roundup:

News Of The World: Manchester City's Robinho and Barca striker Henry will be the subject of further talks in the January transfer window.

by CARL ELDRIDGE The Adebayor-gate affair rumbles on this morning, insiders, as Cesc Fabregas breaks his silence on the stamp that left him with peaking a three-inch gash on his right calf.

The Sun pictures the wound and quotes him: "I think this is a red card here.

By CARL ELDRIDGE Ian Wright is shooting from the lip in today's Sun and, despite never successfully managing one of the biggest clubs in the world, has decided to tell Arsene Wenger how to do his job. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">

Wrighty reckons we lose matches because we get bullied on the pitch and that back in the day, players such as PV4 and TA6 would have stood toe-to-toe with those who wanted a scrap before earning the right to play their football.

By CARL ELDRIDGE Roll up, roll up, read all about it. This morning's papers offer a decent smattering of Arsenal stories ranging from the club's appeal on the Eduardo divegate scandal to Arsene Wenger being hit with an FA warning. The Sun kicks off by telling us that the Gunners have confirmed they will appeal against Eduardo's ban for diving.

Morning insiders no footie today as the international break takes hold, still plenty to talk about in the media this morning. We have picked some of the best bits for you to discuss below:

The Daily Mirror Arsene Wenger was RIGHT to defend Eduardo dive, says Sir Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted Arsene Wenger was RIGHT not to publicly criticise Eduardo during the explosive Champions League diving row.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsene Wenger has condemned Arsenal's travelling fans for the abuse they hurled at Emmanuel Adebayor in the Manchester City game, screams this morning's Sun. Accept, er, he didn't condemn them at all.

Their preposterous reporter, the Liverpool-supporting Anthony Kastrinakis (BTW, the Arsenal head of communications is also a Liverpool fan), runs with the story despite AW stating he didn't hear it so can't comment on it.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Well, that was a stroll in the sunshine at the Emirates yesterday if ever I saw one. And one player strolling with great purpose was Emmanuel Eboue, who had plenty to be pleased with after nudging a goal in the Gunners' comfortable 4-0 triumph over Wigan.

For it was against Wigan last season that Eboue, on as a sub, was himself subbed, and the decision by Arsene Wenger was applauded and he left the field to boos.

By CARL ELDRIDGE With no transfers to talk of after a rather dull conclusion to trading on deadline day, the coverage of the Arsenal focuses on Eduardo's ban for diving and the pledge to fight the punishment by Arsene Wenger. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">

The Sun starts proceedings by telling us the Gunners will take on the imbeciles at Uefa after they branded him a cheat.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Nicklas Bendtner may well have looked pretty in pink but the most ardent Arsenalista out there must admit the great Dane didn't suit his outlandish footwear nor, indeed, did he live up such a flamboyant choice of footwear that often.

But fair play to Bendy boy, he has ditched the pink 'uns and you can buy them from him if you so desire because he is flogging them on eBay to raise cash for Danish charity.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Just when we thought it was privates back on parade time, it is revealed that comrade Andrey Arshavin needs more time in the hospital block after aggravating the groin injury which should have meant he didn't turn out for Russia against Wales in a World Cup qualifier.

Morning Insiders so at last normal football returns today with the Arsenal traveling up north to Manchester City. Eldo71's on his way for Arsenalinsider so your stuck with me this morning for the news roundup:

The Daily Mail: Adebayor says " Arsenal fans' hate scarred me for life" Emmanuel Adebayor claims that Arsenal fans have scarred him for life after he became a hate figure at the Emirates.

by CARL ELDRIDGE As we know, Eduardo's two match ban has been overturned by Uefa and this morning's papers have plenty of coverage looking at the saga.

The Sun kicks off their report with the headline 'Ed Cases' and report that the world and his wife saw the little Crazilian make the most of it when he went down in the box against Celtic in the Champions League last month but that the Euro gaffers obviously didn't.

Morning Insiders. Eldo71s' off to the Champions League match today for Arsenalinsider so your stuck with me again to bring you todays new round up and it's all about one person Adebayor. Comment invited below as always.

The Sun - Wenger won't let Manu off hook
ARSENE WENGER just could not get Emmanuel Adebayor out of his mind.

Morning Insiders we survived match day one coming back from two goals down to snatch a win last night in Belgium. We have taken the best bits from the papers today. Comments are invited as always below.

The Sun - Kneesy does it
EDUARDO dived in to save Arsenal from a Champions League disaster last night.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Tommy Vermaelen is very much the man of the moment when it comes to coverage of the Arsenal in this morning's papers. The Belgique battler scored twice in Saturday's 4-zip win over weary Wigan at the Emirates and turned in another eye-catching display at the back alongside Bill Gallas.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Carlos Vela, Mexican superstar! The Little striker was hotter than Dave's Insanity Sauce last night as the Arsenal pre-school XI dumped West Brom out of the Carling Cup with a 2-0 win at the Emirates.

The Baggies, managed by Roberto di Matteo, provided a stern test for AW's kids but when our former player Jerome Thomas got the old heave-ho after slapping Jack Wilshere it gave us the edge.

by CARL ELDRIDGE The majority of press coverage of the Arsenal this morning is obviously taken up by the 1-0 win at Fulham at Craven Cottage yesterday as you can imagine.

And it's young Gunners keeper Vito Mannone who gets rave reviews after an astounding performance kept Roy Hodgson's side at bay.

By CARL ELDRIDGE Our two new signings feature in today's papers and before you get too excited over your cornflakes I am talking about Denilson and Nicklas Bendtner, who have both signed new deals for the glorious Gunners.

The Sun's coverage this morning makes them sound like a kids TV double act as they tag them ‘Den and Ben'.

by CARL ELDRIDGE It's fair to say Manchester City have one or two options up front when they play the mighty Arsenal on Saturday and they may need that strength in depth if today's reports concerning the fitness of Robinho and Carlos Tevez are on the mark.

This morning's Sun tells us that Samba star Robinho is a major doubt for the Premier League clash with a thigh injury.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Tom Rosicky is back Cesc Fabregas is off and Andrey Arshavin is firing on all cylinders and raring to go. Oh, and it seems as if Theo Walcott is heading for a comeback, too.

Those are the key stories in this morning's papers, which also mention that England have qualified for the World Cup in South Africa by beating Croatia 5-1, the bigger story there, of course, is that Eduardo played and scored.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Nothing much about Arsenal in the papers this morning. Oh, wait a minute...there are a few mentions here and there about Emmanuel Adebayor. Hold on, there's more. Blimey, I am being swamped. Virtually the entire print run of every national newspaper carries the words 'Adebayor, fans, rake, Van Persie, six-match ban, storm, steward, knocked-out, shame, coins, obscene chants, Fabregas, stamp, FA probe' not in that particular order, you understand.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Marouane Chamakh won't be joining the glorious Gunners in January after all, according to Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud, a man, it has to be said, who isn't at all shy of the glare of publicity.

The Daily Mail reports this morning that Triaud has hit out at Arsene Wenger for his pursuit of the Morrocan striker, who is out of contract next summer.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsene Wenger's football education has its origins in studying ale-addled Frenchies discussing their woes in his parents' boozer. That's the top tale doing the rounds in this morning's papers along with AW revealing that he has no plans to retire. Thank God (Dennis Bergkamp).

by CARL ELDRIDGE Now here's a big fact surprise in this morning's papers...a sorry tale about an overpaid mercenary who can't bring it upon himself to offer the hand of friendship to a former team-mate who he booted in the face.

Yes, you guessed it, it's part 532 of Adebayor-gate.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Theo Walcott is on the verge of an Arsenal comeback against Olympiakos in the Champions League at the Emirates tomorrow night.

That's according to this morning's Sun, which backs up the claim with quotes from Arsene Wenger on Walcott, who has been out since June after hurting his back on England U-21 Euro duty.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsene Wenger is set to become the longest-serving manager in Arsenal's history and this morning's papers feature our leader to some degree.

The Sun reports that Wenger will break George Allison's record of 4,748 days at the helm from June, 1934, to May, 1947 on Thursday.
