This morning I read the news about a possible move by West Brom to sign Carlos Vela on loan, just
weeks after the Mexican was linked with a move - always on loan and in the January transfer market
- to Hull City. Now with the Premiership, F.A. Cup and Champions League matches on the horizon,
[...]
Para mi ha sido muy sorpresivo que dos jugadores que tienen constancia en sus equipos en Europa
prefieran regresar a México y jugar en la Liga Mexicana: Pável Pardo deja al Stuttgart en
Alemania para regresar con su equipo el América ésto ya es un hecho. Y el que
todavía no se hace oficial, pero [.
Just as I thought another painful blow was about to take place with a goalless draw against Pompey,
David James provided us with a late Christmas gift which Gallas didn't turn down to hand us a very
important win. As Wenger said, there are indeed internal solutions The thoughts of many, including
myself, is that despite the [.
Having failed to reach the Carling Cup semi-final, coach Arsene Wenger wants to loan out Jay
Simpson, Gavin Hoyte and Kieran Gibbs. With Barazite and Traore already on loan and rumours saying
that Carlos Vela may join them as well, Wenger believes the youngsters need to play in the
Championship. He told the official website: Jay [.
The rollercoaster of emotions which the Arsenal made us go through this season seems to have
reached its final destination. After wins over Manchester United and Chelsea which gave us that
glimpse of hope which we so much needed, here comes Howard Webb and his mistakes to shatter all our
dreams and the possibility to [.

There's no need to aspire for a football coach career to understand it when changes should be made.
Luckily for us, it only took Arsene Wenger 66 minutes to open his eyes and realise that Carlos Vela
was needed. Usually, he needs 89 to realise that. The second half was more lively than the first
but [.
For the Arsenal to lose 2-0 against Burnley may sound bizarre, but of course, one has to look at
the big picture and appreciate the effort and determination the young ones put into this season's
Carling Cup. I did agree with Wenger's policy to stick with the reserve side and maybe, just maybe,
the only [.
Arsenal eyes top spot in Portugal Full Article PORTO, Portugal: Arsenal needs just a draw in the
Champions League clash at Porto's Stadium of the Dragon on Wednesday to secure a top-place finish
in Group G. A successful trip to Portugal could also provide a tonic for Gunners midfielder
Emmanuel Eboue.
Just like last season, Arsene Wenger opted to settle down for second place in the Champions League
in order to rest the regulars ahead of a busy December schedule. I agree, but as it was last
season, second place may be very dangerous as Barcelona, Roma, Bayern Munich and Juventus are all
there to [.
After we were labelled as the shame of the Carling Cup by Chelsea's Ray Wilkins, it's time to get
the same treatment in the Champions League. Porto goalkeeper Helton blasted our display, saying we
were not good enough: I was disappointed with Arsenal because they did not seem ambitious enough in
winning the game.
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 [.
Having just seen Aston Villa grabbing a lucky win away at West Ham, our position has never been so
critical this season. The worst scenario is of course two consecutive defeats which would kill our
title hopes and put us far from that fourth, Champions League spot. But, having defeated Manchester
United and Chelsea, there's [.
Arsene Wenger blames Ryan Babel dive for Arsenal's tumble last season Full Article Arsene Wenger
fuelled the tension surrounding Liverpool's visit to the Emirates Stadium by claiming that the
disappointing end to Arsenal's season last year was ushered in by a dive by Ryan Babel in the
Champions League quarter-final at Anfield.

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor was left fuming following yesterday's two yellow cards, blasting
Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa for unfair behaviour: I cannot say he [Arbeloa] cheated, but what
he did was not fair play at all. The defender threw himself on the floor as if I put a knife in
him. I don't think I deserved a [.
Just one month ago, Sir Alex Ferguson warned Arsenal that they are no longer top four material.
Days later, we went at Stamford Bridge and defeated Chelsea. Yet, we are now behind Aston Villa and
a defeat would see us fall even further behind them, so, knowing that the three matches after
tomorrow's will all [.
For yet another time this season, here we are, trying to figure out how come the squad's display
has been so poor. Well, Wenger got it all wrong, yet again, and we're not on the losing side for
the sixth time this season only thanks to a big stroke of luck. As soon as Villa [...]
In a poor half with only two goal opportunities, one at each side of the pitch, some questions are
to be raised, especially on the Arsenal side. Arsene Wenger opted to rest Robin van Persie and go
for a more strong-in-the-air forward line with Nicklas Bendtner supporting Adebayor, back from
suspension.
Not the same old Arsenal Full Article Phil Thompson watched them return to winning ways with a
familiar 1-0 success, but felt it was anything but the same old Arsenal. Arsene Wenger's
out-of-sorts side moved back into third in the Premier League thanks to a William Gallas header
nine minutes from time.
In a very entertaining and open first half, Burnley took full advantage of a Fabiansky mistake to
end the first half ahead at Turf Moor. The match started brightly for Arsenal and after just four
minutes, Nicklas Bendtner was through on goal but his shot was well saved by Jensen, who like
Wigan's Kirkland in the [.
I fully understand that from what we saw so far, the Carling Cup was a good bite at silverware this
season, but remember, for Arsenal, it's just a prototype of what the regular side is supposed to be
in a season or two. Had we lost a match in which we were outplayed, outpaced and [...]
It's natural to look at today's match as a sort of repeat of the final group match of the 2006/2007
season which ended 0-0 and saw both sides making it through to the next round. Back then, both
teams needed a draw to advance, and they achieved it in a nervy match. Today, there is [...]

Let's start from the obvious. Yesterday Porto fielded their regular side, full of grit and
determination to win the match and top the group. Maybe they didn't really do it to win the group,
as facing Inter Milan, Real Madrid or Chelsea may be as bad as facing Barcelona or Liverpool, but
they did it [.
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
[...]
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.
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger believes captain Cesc Fabregas could be out for up to three weeks as he
said: It's a medial knee ligament injury, (but) I don't know how long he will be out. It's
difficult to assess - it could be one week or three weeks. Of course it is a blow, you don't [...]
Aston Villa draws 2-2 with Arsenal Full Article BIRMINGHAM, England: Defender Zat Knight scored in
injury time to earn Aston Villa a 2-2 draw in the English Premier League with Arsenal, its nearest
challenger for a Champions League place on Friday. Denilson and Abou Diaby looked to have sealed
victory for the Gunners as they led 2-0 by [.
Van Persie double sees Arsenal beat Chelsea Full Article (CNN) Arsenal threw the English title race
wide open with a 2-1 victory over leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Chelsea led through
a Johan Djourou own goal at halftime, but two goals by Dutch international Robin Van Persie in
three minutes gave Arsenal a [.
As we archive the Premiership with a Liverpool goalless draw at Anfield, the second in two weeks
after the one against Fulham, it's time for the young kids of Wenger. Having eased past Sheffield
United and Wigan Athletic at the Emirates, the young ones will be in action today away at Burnley.
Before going any [.
Burnley v Arsenal Full Article Burnley have a slight concern over Wade Elliott, who has had a groin
problem in recent weeks, ahead of their home tie against Arsenal in the Carling Cup. Christian
Kalvenes and Remco van der Schaaf are also doubts for the Clarets, who are enjoying an impressive
run. Wenger sticks with cup policy Full [.
Arsene Wenger confirms the line-up he hinted as Simpson is relegated on the bench with Bendtner
starting from the first minute. Randall shrugs off the injury and Paul Rodgers in for a chance to
shine. Burnley Burnley: Jensen, Duff, Carlisle, Caldwell, Jordan, Alexander, McCann, McDonald,
Eagles, Blake, Paterson.

McDonald cup double as Burnley oust Arsenal Full Article (CNN) Kevin McDonald scored twice as
Burnley followed up their shock win at Chelsea in the previous round by overpowering Arsenal 2-0 to
reach the Carling Cup semifinals on Tuesday. Burnley went through on penalties at Stamford Bridge,
but their latest triumph over London's elite was far more [.

weeks after the Mexican was linked with a move - always on loan and in the January transfer market
- to Hull City. Now with the Premiership, F.A. Cup and Champions League matches on the horizon,
[...]
Silvestre and not Gibbs, that's the only difference from my predicted/favourite line-up, so I'm
delighted to see Ramsey, Vela and Eboue starting. It's Bendtner's chance to show that he's got
quality and the Carling Cup misses were just a rare episode. Carlos Vela teams up with him up
front, and if the match will be [.
In a half with only a couple shots on target, it's Porto which lead with the only goal of the half
coming from a corner, one of our worst nightmares at the start of the season. In the eight minute
of the match, a Bruno Alves free-kick forces Almunia into a low save. After that, we [...]
Porto beat Arsenal to finish top of group Full Article (CNN) Bruno Alves and Lisandro Lopez scored
a goal in each half as Porto beat Arsenal 2-0 on Wednesday to reach the last 16 of the Champions
League as the winners of Group G. The result means Porto finish on 12 points, one ahead of Arsenal
[.
Wenger: Arsenal fears nobody in Europe Full Article London, England (Sports Network) - Arsene
Wenger claims Arsenal fears nobody in Europe despite failing to win its Champions League group
after losing 2-0 to FC Porto. A much-changed Gunners side missing several key players went down
comfortably in Portugal on Wednesday night when victory would have ensured their [.
