Few stories floating round in the Twitter-verse that I thought I'd comment on in more depth.
Firstly, the guy over at Republik of Mancunia produced one of his periodic stats analyses, with the goal, I presume, of showing that United have the worst injuries record in the prem. However, in his analysis, he was forced to admit that we, in fact, have the worst injury record out of the top English clubs.

Diaby has to be in the shadows, for now

I'm sure by now you've all heard or rather, read the interview that Arsene Wenger did on L'Equipe. Or if you can't read French like I am as well, then thank god there's Arseblognews who has come out with the translated interview without looking for a headline.

City talisman Yaya Toure stated in a recent interview that his team can match the Arsenal of 2004 and go unbeaten in this years Premier League.

He said in a launch of Puma's African National Cup kits, "We hope we can continue unbeaten, we are playing fantastic football."

Although the blue side of Manchester have enjoyed an excellent start to their campaign- the obvious highlight beating United 6-1 at Old Trafford, I simply do not believe City have what it takes to match Arsene Wenger's supremely talented side.

Arsènal: The Making of a Modern Superclub is a post from: Just Football

Any Arsenal fan will tell you that the last few seasons have been tough. They will need no reminding that the last trophy the club won was back in 2005. However the start of this season led to more than a few whispers that perhaps Arsène Wenger wasn't the right man for the club.

It is clearly evident that during recent months the red and white armoury has come under intense pressure, with many even questioning whether "Arsene Wenger is the right man for Arsenal Football Club?".

A few years ago such a question would have been responded with laughter, yet today critics and many Arsenal fans find themselves pondering on the very thought of Arsenals greatest manager being replaced.

This news item has been reproduced from today's media.

David Dein is the man that brought Arsene Wenger to Arsenal all those years ago, and he has been speaking out in defence of the manager in the wake of the 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford and has urged everybody connected with the club to back him. Dein said, "Arsene has unfinished business at the [...]

At times, there's a certain stubbornness when it comes to clubs parting ways with an established coach. The quick exit that we see so regularly - especially in Europe - might happen often enough to be the standard, but there are examples of teams that seem unable to tell when it's time for a change.

Hey Guys, big fan of the site. Big Arsenal fan, have had season ticket for past seven years. Just thought that I'd put forward an argument for Arsene Wenger and why David Dein could be the answer to our problems. If it's good enough can you let me know if you'll consider posting it on [...]

It's been just over a week since Cesc Fabregas' departure for Barcelona, and now this afternoon, we've been told that Samir Nasri is on the brink of securing a lucrative move to Manchester City.

Everyone knows what tomorrow's headlines will include. The usual, apocalyptic-like phrases such as "meltdown", "the end" and "it's over" will smother the backpages of every tabloid in the country.

Even stars die, eventually. There hasn't been an observed supernova in our Milky Way for over four hundred years (Galileo hadn't even seen the many moons of Jupiter, or confirmed that the Sun was the heart of the solar system when this had occurred), but that such timeless galactic fixtures can perish so vigorously only serves to epitomise the fleeting nature of everything associated with our universe.

Tough to be in his shoes

If you make it until the end of this piece and you think that "well, this may be the case but some of it is brought on by the way we handle ourselves", I wouldn't say you're wrong completely. Yet, it feels like everyone is against us. Of course many of those stems from the weekend defeat.

David Dein has appealed to fans to get behind good friend Arsene Wenger

Attribution theory is a central pillar of social psychology and was studied extensively by Fritz Heider in the 1950s and 60s. Our life is made up of sets of circumstances that can be controlled and are also beyond control.

The Beeb reports that AW is under increasing pressure from supporters after six seasons without a pot and that when asked if Wenger could leave, the former Arsenal vice-chairman said: "That's always an option open to him.

Hello and welcome to Friday.

As you'd expect this morning's blog is jam-packed full of information about the players we're going to sign and ... damn, sorry. That's my other blog in opposite world. Oh well.

Arsene will have a press conference today ahead of tomorrow's game against the Mugsmashers and we might get a bit of clarity about what the plans are.

Greetings from the billowing rubble that is now my home city. The new season is but an inswinging corner kick away. The bowels are clenching, the skin on my knuckles tightening and the teeth grinding as the anticipation of that first Newcastle set piece begins to dawn. For the last three months, I have been something approaching a pleasant, available and accessible individual for my friends and family.

The ex-Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein believes you can't write-off Arsene Wenger achievements and expects that the Frenchman will still come good for the Gunners if e is just given time to sort things out.

Several weeks ago London (the blogger) sent in this short post giving his reaction to the call to get DD involved in some capacity with Arsenal again:-

Question: If you were the agent of any grade A player and were in the process of concluding a transfer would you finish it speedily or would you wait and see if the new Chelsea manager was interested in signing your player?

Feeling gloomy about the Cesc/ Nasri tabloid furore and our end of season capitulation? Worried we may not sign a "big name" or even the experienced leader we need? Feel like slitting your wrists that we could end up playing Bayern Munich in the Champions League Qualifiers?

Off the coast of Corsica having quite an enjoyable time as his club falls apart piece by piece. It seems that in all aspects of life these days, Wenger is heading down a slippery slope. (Boy that was too easy!!) The Fabregas saga continues to drag out with the player becoming more frustrated each day.

As Arsenal supporters we have many great anniversaries to celebrate.

There was May 26th 1989 – Micky Thomas scoring in the closing seconds to clinch an improbable title away at Anfield. The sight of 40,000 thieving Scousers whining about being robbed was karma on a cosmic scale.

Or how about May 3rd, 1971, when a Ray Kennedy header made us champions of England – an achievement made all the sweeter by the location of our triumph: that's right, that large public convenience in N17.

In the football world there is a trend to view shareholders and directors of a club as custodians rather than owners. Fans are considered to be the heart and soul of a football club and it's real owners. In the past the Arsenal directors/shareholders have released statements recognizing their role as caretakers.

The inevitable is finally happening – a billionaire is buying Arsenal. Will it make Arsenal a rich man's play thing? Will there be money available to the manager? Will Wenger have a sword hanging over his head? Will the Gunners be laden with the burden of debt? Will Usmanov sell his stake? What about the AST, Fanshare, and other minority shareholders?

Morning all.

The internet was full of intrigue last night when the editor of sport.co.uk went all BBC on us and 'understood' something was happening at Arsenal. On his Twitter he said:

Sport.co.uk understands that #Arsenal will make a statement in the coming days which will relate to future of the club at boardroom level.

Every great team is built around solid leadership within the team.
Mark Lawrenson believes that Arsene Wenger needs to find more leaders for his Arsenal side, or to change his overall philosophy.
Arsene Wenger must win a trophy this season - or look at changing his philosophy at Arsenal.
