If you read Arsenal Station regularly, you will know that I regularly criticize the British
press, especially their treatment of Arsenal. Today, Arsenal Station guest contributor, Ted
Harwood, continues that tradition with a look at the media's reaction following the incident
between Jack Wilshire and Jerome Thomas in Arsenal's third-round Carling Cup match last
weekend.Click to continue reading...
Please Note: Due to our mail server crashing yesterday we were unable to publish this
until now:
Arsenal came through a tricky tie in the Carling Cup to secure their place in the fourth round.
West Brom played well and if it hadn't been for a moment of petulance from Jerome Thomas forcing
referee Lee Mason to reduce the Baggies to ten men in the 37th minute then the game might have been
a lot tighter.
Roberto DiMatteo is wrong for defending Thomas in much the same way Mark Hughes was wrong. This
kind of blind defending of the players on the part of managers does neither the players and
managers nor the game itself any good. Following the match, DiMatteo spoke with the BBC and
said:
Well, thanks to the fact that Sky Sports are a bunch of wankers and wanted to be able to show
the goals from all the Carling Cup matches first, Arsenal fans globally were denied the chance to
see the next generation dispatch West Brom (with a little help from a moment of madness from
ex-Gunner Jerome Thomas - who elbowed Jack as well as slapping him - more on that later).
Last night we saw the Arsenal past and Arsenal future, with a good stark warning for all of our
youth players who think that they are bigger than the club...
Jerome Thomas of West Bromich Albion began his Arsenal career having joined the Arsenal from his
schoolboy appointment at Luton Town Football Club in 2001.
You can also read this post at http://gunnerstoday.wordpress.com where I'll be blogging permanently
soon. Check it out, it looks much better don't you think? It is now I think well over 5 years since Arsene started using the youth in this competition.
Yesterday the trend continued with 8 teenagers. Click to continue reading...
It is now I think well over 5 years since Arsene started using the youth in this competition.
Yesterday the trend continued with 8 teenagers. We can safely that is significantly higher to be
singled out so precisely. Of course if you really want to be picky, then as I mentioned before in
my previous post, you can count Senderos as a young un as well.
Jack Wilshere and Carlos Vela have done it again. And is anyone surprised? Wilshere controlled
the match and was, by far, the best player on the pitch in last night's 2-nil victory over
joint-leaders of the Championship, West Bromwich Albion, in the third round of the Carling Cup. The
youngsters' Carling Cup campaign opened at the Emirates and though not sold out, there was a
sizeable crowd there as always eagerly anticipating a look at the Arsenal starlets.
So last night saw the kids, with a sprinkling of experience, safely negotiate the challenge of
West Brom.
After the last few years there was a bit of expectation on them and if they went down at the
first hurdle it would have been a major disappointment. I couldn't see the game and all I have see
of it is a few highlights hastily assembled online, the most controversial moment of the game
seemed to be Jerome Thomas hitting out at Jack Wilshere and getting himself sent off.
Gunners manager didn't so much as smell the Thomas-Wilshere spat West Brom's task of beating the
Arsenal youth team was made considerably more difficult last night when ex-Gunner Jerome Thomas was
sent-off just before half-time. Thomas clashed with Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere, and was
dismissed after slapping him. Click to continue reading...
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.
Arsenal made their way into the 4th round of the Carling Cup last night with a 2-0 win over West
Brom. I didn't see any of it, bar the goals on Sky Sports News, but you can't argue with the
result.
The goals came from Sanchez Watt, who followed up a Carlos Vela shot, and Carlos Vela who
followed up a Mark Randall chip.
Mexican teenager Carlos Vela came off the bench to inspire Arsene Wenger's young Gunners to a
2-0 Carling Cup victory over 10-man West Brom.

round as his live-wire display inspired a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday.

Arsenal have done it again in the League Cup. It wasn't the 6-0 that they had at this point last season, but a couple great late goals, both
involving Ramsey and substitute Carlos Vela, have Arsenal through to the next round. The 56,000
supporters in attendance and the rest of us watching on Arsenal TV Online (ATVO) enjoyed it
tremendously. Click to continue reading...
Fulham striker Bobby Zamora is in talks with Hull City over a proposed £5million transfer. The
fee has already been agreed but now Zamora must decide if he is prepared to move to the north of
England for the first time in his career.
The 28 year old has been in Hull since Friday but Tigers boss Phil Brown says Zamora has been
laid low by jet lag.

With all the focus this summer on players getting bought and sold - and making big money moves
across Europe - we sometimes forget that the summer is also a time when scores of players lose
their jobs. Their contracts are not renewed. They don't make the step up from the reserves to the
first team. Click to continue reading...

Picture from the Independent via Getty Images. 2 games, 0 points. No goals scored and five goals allowed. What those numbers don't tell you are the two opponents in question. At Stamford Bridge against
Chelsea and then host to Manchester United. When Portsmouth saw their early season schedule, they had to be a little concerned.

Roy Keane obviously feels he needs more to add more to his attack at Sunderland, with both David

Not sure if Harry Redknapp is aware of this, but according to the Daphne Police Department Jerome
Thomas is a wanted man... It appears that the current Portsmouth winger is wanted for stealing a
vehicle from outside the YMCA. Lets just hope its not the same one that Marlon King was arrested
for handling back in [. Click to continue reading...
Portsmouth have signed Jerome Thomas From Charlton on a season long loan deal, and will probably
sign him on a permanent deal if he impresses at the club. Thomas was sold by Arsenal to Charlton
for £100,000 a few seasons ago, but has impressed in the Championship. I'm not convinced how
well he will do [. Click to continue reading...
