Middlesbrough v Arsenal Full Article Boro defenders Robert Huth and Chris Riggott could return to
the side after injury, David Wheater is suspended. Gary O'Neil and Mido (hamstring) will miss out,
while Justin Hoyte and Andrew Taylor (knee) are doubtful. Arsenal need to improve to save season,
says Mikael Silvestre Full Article Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre has warned his [.
A month or so ago I was trying to understand the reason why we had such a pathetic start to the
season. One of the reasons I highlighted as a possible cause is that we're not strong enough,
theory which back then I didn't consider as possible. I was wrong. I won't go into detail about the

This is what Arsene Wenger told the club's official website after today's awful display: There was
room to win the game, especially when we were 1-0 up with plenty of chances to score a second; we
were in control. I feel we were a bit unlucky on the goal we conceded but Middlesbrough played well
and [.
Wenger vows to keep fighting Full Article Arsene Wenger refused to accept defeat in the title race
following Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. The result leaves the Gunners seven points adrift
of leaders Liverpool and six behind Chelsea, while they are likely to lose further ground before
the end of the weekend.
Saturday, 6 December 2008 Arsenal v Wigan, 15:00 Seems Arsenal's raison d'être isn't just to
entertain, it's also to make life difficult for anyone dumb enough to predict Premier League
results. Rather than trying to second guess or ask cliche questions like "which Arsenal will
turn up?" etc, let's just assume they'll win at home.
With the Arsenal supporters divided after the Champions League match against Porto, with some
believing Arsene did well to rest some players whilst others believe he should have fought for
first place, it's now time to focus back on the Premiership and a tricky away match against
Middlesbrough. Straight away, this is what our coach [.
Again I only miss one from my predicted line-up. I wish I didn't: it's Diaby and not Carlos Vela
and it's a shame considering Abou's display on Wednesday. Sagna, Cesc, Clichy and the front two all
make comebacks after the needed rest in mid-week. Middlesbrough Turnbull, McMahon, Riggott, Huth,
Pogatetz, Johnson, Digard, Arca, Downing, Sanli, Aliadiere.
Being happy with a draw at half-time against the team which is 10 points behind in the table is not
a nice feeling. We made Hull City look like heroes, Stoke City look like warriors and now we're
allowing Boro to look like a top team. The half started with the home side putting a lot [...]
(Summary is not available.)
More than any other disappointing match this season, yesterday's draw raised many concerns amongst
Arsenal supporters, maybe more than defeats against Stoke and Hull did back then. Which is funny,
when you consider that Liverpool, Manchester United and especially Chelsea, yet again, failed to
take advantage of a faltering display from our lads.
Part 1 discussed just how close the relegation battle is this year, and in Part 2 we move even
further down the table. 15. Manchester City When City was taken over in the summer, everyone
pictured another Galacticos side. With Robinho as the only big name signing in the summer, we
didn't quite get to see that.
