Arsenal star Jack Wilshere looks almost certain to miss the rest of the season after scans
showed his latest injury setback is worse than first feared. The Daily Mail is reporting that our
boy wonder is now even doubtful for England's Euro 2012 campaign as he is unlikely to feature at
all for us this season.

Here we go again. Last day of the transfer window and we're all waiting for at least a striker
after offloading Vokes as a loan and sold Keogh. Surely 3M must bring in at least one striker, and
hopefully one with som class and skills?! Well, that's very important of course, but of more
immediate [...
At first there were information that the kick in the face midfielder Frimpong received against the
Villians Saturday had broken his jaw and he was going to be out for three months. Fortunately that
was a foregone conclusion. Hospital checks showed that nothing was broken and when he was in for a
recheck yesterday of [.
Everybody knows by now that its like riding on a roller-coaster to be a fan of Wolves, but this
game gave me a ride I'll never forget. I was totally exhausted afterwards and it felt like I'd been
out there with the lads for 90 minutes. Already against Spurs there were two players that took
[...]
A blogger friend of mine reports unrest among the Wolves fans and some of my friends are past the
boiling point aswell. I suppose that it's not totally fair though if they measure the strength of
Wolves from a couple of cup-games with our second tier, but those games didn't leave much to
rejoice about [.
Arsene Wenger had nothing but bad news for Arsenal fans ahead of the crucial match against Man Utd
this weekend, well unless it can be considered good news that Fabianski will replace Almunia on the
bench. There were hopes that Mikel Arteta and Thomas Vermaelen could get fit in time for the game,
but Wenger [.
Things just go from bad to worse in the Arsenal back line with a never-ending litany of injuries.
The Gunners had already lost Sagna, Gibbs, Jenkinson and Santos long before Christmas, and Wenger
had no choice but to use all four centre-backs as cover. Then Johan Djourou got sent off at the
same time as [.
One day into training with FC Nurnberg, Omar Gonzalez has torn his ACL. The injury was sustained in
training after a collision with fellow American Timmy Chandler. Gonzalez will now return to the
Galaxy to undergo treatment. The typical recovery time for an ACL tear is 4-6 months depending on
treatment and the athlete in question.
There was a single moment of 2011 that has managed to stay in the back of my mind for months. It is
a moment that few would care to remember but I believe it is one of importance. Early in the season
there was an ill-fated tackle from a scrambling Brian Mullan that ended the season of Seatlle's
Steve Zakuani.
Some people has called this game a twelve-pointer, maybe not totally without reasons. It's a water
shedder for both teams and extremely important for the clubs to win if they want to keep their
supporters happy and avoid relegation. Maybe a little bit more so for Bolton who are under the
relegation line already.
So what can we expekt from the 24 hours delayed trip to London? Well, not any points for Wolves I'm
afraid. Maybe I can pick up something in the sales if I got the time to bother about such things,
but I'll probably sit at a pub in Soho with som flea relatives from London [...]
Kieran Gibbs has not featured for Arsenal since October following a hernia operation. "Kieran Gibbs
has had surgery on his left groin and he will be out for a month," Arsene Wenger confirmed the grim
news. In recent matches, Arsene Wenger has been forced to play a makeshift back four (all central
defenders) due to [.
DAVID VILLA has 000s of fans around the World. I know that many admirers have been taken back by
the serious injury of the FC Barcelona & Spanish International forward with his broken shine-bone.
The player was yesterday operated on in Barcelona & Villa has made this video to thank all the well
wishers & fans.
Well. No time for crying over spilt milk, is there? The Canaries are visiting and we're going to be
good hosts and beat them up, eh! At least that must be the plan. Three points is a must now, with a
row of difficult away games waiting in the holidays. For those, must be only [...]
He won't mind seeing a fit Wilshere
Let's start with the obvious shall we. The Champions League draw takes precedent and rightly so.
The biggest tournament in club football today and the 2nd round draw took place without any
Manchester clubs in it. For our efforts of finishing top of our group, we were rewarded with a date
against AC Milan.
Hi supporters! I'm sorry not being around for a while, but I've been busy doing some research and
wanting some time off from Wolves, being disappointed about play and results. Can't stay away any
long from the team in my heart, though, and I might aswell report to you how I look upon the team
[...]
Steven Gerrard is set to return to full training on Monday. The Liverpool Captain has been out
since October after suffering from an infected ankle.
Gerrard's return will be a huge boost to Liverpool over the busy Christmas period as they chase
down the all important top four finish.
Liverpool are set to face Wigan on Wednesday but that is likely to be too soon for Gerrard, with
him likely to make his return on the bench against Blackburn on Boxing Day.
The most prized left foot in the club now
When it rains, it pours. Especially when it is related to the Arsenal injury news. If you
haven't already heard, Andre Santos will need to undergo a surgery to repair his damaged ligament
in his right ankle. That will take him out of action right until middle of March.
Arsenal defender Andre Santos is set to be missing from action for three months, the club has
just announced.
A report on the website says: "Arsenal Football Club can confirm that, following investigations
and subsequent medical opinions by Club specialists, left-back Andre Santos will have surgery to
repair ligament damage in his right ankle sustained in the game against Olympiacos last week.

The French midfielder Abou Diaby has been with Arsenal for five years now, and he came with high
hopes of being the "next Patrick Vieira" but things have never gone right for him since breaking
his ankle just four months after his arrival. Since then he has never managed more than 20 games in
any [..
Liverpool have confirmed midfielder Lucas Leiva has successfully undergone...
Liverpool have recalled Jonjo Shelvey from his Blackpool loan as fears mount that Lucas Leiva
could be out for a lengthy spell after suffering a knee injury with only 20 minute's to go in last
nights League Cup win over Chelsea.
The loss of Lucas will be a massive loss for Liverpool. Lucas has improved immensely over the
last few season's and is now one of the first names to be put on the team sheet every week.
Better late than never? Wolves travel to London today to face Chelsea. Not an easy task, of course,
but the Londoners have not been so great recently and Wolves got everything to win in a match like
this, so you never know. Jamie O'Hara and Steven Hunt are both missing today because of five yellow
[.
Ahead of the game that could seal the Gunners' progression from the group stages, Arsène Wenger
offered very little bad news regarding the Arsenal squad for the Borussia Dortmund encounter on
Wednesday evening. While Tomas Rosicky will be disappointed to be unable to face his former side
with "a small thigh strain", Abou Diaby's recovery [.
A crappy game with a lousy ending. If it had been a film I would have left before the end or
possibly fallen asleep, but too much was at stake for both Wolves and Everton to open up or give
anything away defensively to the opposition. The fact that all three goals came after dead-ball
[...]
Well. They´re finally at it again. It's been a long wait after the win against Wigan that saved
the managements behind and made us fans jump on the bandwagon of hope again. During the
international break many of the Wolves players has made their countries proud, in particular Sam
Vokes and Stephen Ward.
Showing signs of becoming the next Liam Brady for the Gunners, 21 year-old Jack Wilshere's absence
after injuring his ankle in late July was considered by many as to being the end of Arsenal's
season before it had even begun. The fact that the club had been struggling for consistency with
him in the team [.
It's a little scary. Not just me but loads of people in and around Wolves, and for that matter
Wigan, believes it's make or break on Sunday. Wigan with seven defeats behind them and we have one
lousy point in the same amount of games. I usually don't write much about previous games between
clubs, [..
Steven Gerrard's ankle is infected following a kick to it in training in mid-week, it seemed to be
healing but it swelled up Saturday morning requiring treatment and further surgery this week.
I had a similar injury myself years ago when I bought a new pair of Doc Martin's shoes and new
socks in a bid to impress the ladies.
Rumours are circulating that the ever-dependable Alex Song might not have shaken off a calf strain
and so could be replaced by Emmanuel Frimpong in front of the Arsenal back four for tonight's
encounter with Marseille at the Emirates. Whilst the general focus is very much on the attacking
aspects of both teams – Van [.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard facing the agony of lengthy injury lay-off due...
Here we go again. Why do we play you twice a week? Not an ideal order of things in this universe,
is it? Let's face it, anything better than a two goal defeat is actually a good result in a game
like this. In the game against the second string City team nine of our [...]
Wolves are at war. Unfortunately not on the pitch against other teams, but let's hope it spreads to
that aswell. In my humble opinion both parties got it wrong. McCarthy for not bringing the right
team on from start and the 'mindless idiots' for voicing their opinions in the wrong place at the
wrong time.
Thomas Vermaelen played 84 minutes of Arsenal's win over Bolton last night, and only came off
because just before the end because he felt that he had a slight calf strain. He thinks that he
doesn't need to be molly-coddled and eased back into the Arsenal first team, and thinks that
players that think they [.
This is it . The big one. Turn or burn, lads, turn or burn. Can they handle the pressure and the
talk on town and turn out as winners? I believe so, but it's not for me to believe, they have to
believe in themselves and I hope they do. After all. Swansea at home [...]
Arsenal's effective team suffered a slight setback last night after Carl Jenkinson was injured
during the Marseille game. Of the disappointment, Wenger said "Jenkinson has a knee problem... He
overstretched his knee and we will check that tomorrow." With Sagna out, some assumed that it was
to be Koscielny who would be deployed in the [.
On Sunday October 16th's slate of early matches in Serie A, only one saw any goals, it was
Bologna's 2-0 victory over Novara. Both of Bologna's goals came after Novara's keeper Samir Ujkani
left the match in the 43rd minute thanks to the brutal collision shown in the video below. It
appears that you can see one of Ujkani's teeth flying in the air after the collision.
Will the Wolves faithful be able to go to work on Monday with their head still held high? That is a
tricky question to answer this season, as both teams are destined to end up in and about the same
position this season in the Premier League. Both teams have struggled in the first games. [...]
