by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsenal face Manchester City in the quarter final of the Carling Cup next month
and Gooners everywhere are praying Arsene Wenger's Young Guns can overcome Mark Hughes' side,
complete with Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure. Â Robin van Persie has already stated he'd love to
play against City and his reasons no doubt refer to the incident in the 4-2 Premier League defeat
in which Adebayor kicked RVP in the face.

After a run of draws, we see the first rallying call from our new skipper, Kolo Toure:
"We need to impose ourselves as we have some gifted players in this dressing room," he

what we need to achieve now.

PFA chief Gordon Taylor has urged football fans, pundits, and the FA to put a stop to the lynch
mob mentality that is surrounding Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The targetman stirred
up controversy over the weekend by first stamping on Robin van Persie's face before scoring a goal
and sprinting the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the angry Gunners fans.

While Emmanuel Adebayor's infamous lack of sportsmanship this past weekend has
overshadowed Manchester City's emphatic 4-2 victory over his former club
Arsenal, it is impossible to overlook the strong impact he has made at the
Eastlands already.

So what really happened here? Along with their rescinding of Eduardo's two-match ban, UEFA
released this brief statement:
The UEFA Appeals Body today accepted the appeal lodged by Arsenal FC against the two-match
suspension handed to striker Eduardo.
Following examination of all the evidence, notably the declarations of both the referee and the
referees' assessor, as well as the various video footage, it was not established to the panel's
satisfaction that the referee had been deceived in taking his decision on the penalty.

Anfield Talk 09 September @ 11:14 AM EST
Liverpool star Jamie Carragher believes Manchester City provide a real threat to the top four this
season.
City have made a promising start to the new season after winning their opening three games without
conceding a goal.
The cash-rich Blues spent big in the summer with Mark Hughes spending over £100million bringing
the likes of Carlos Tevez, Kolo Toure, Gareth Barry, Emmanuel Adebayor, Roque Santa Cruz and Joleon
Lescott to Eastlands in a bid to turn City into contenders.

United's own start to the season may not have been as impressive as it could have been.Â
Granted they've won three out of four but the loss to Burnley was as big a shock as we've had all
season and the manner in which they defeated Arsenal was not as convincing as perhaps it could have
been.

Confirmation of the new captain to replace the departed Richard Dunne:
"He has all the attributes you need to be a good captain – great enthusiasm for the
game, and is nice and vocal in the dressing room and before, during and after games. And he wants
to drive the club forward.
"We are very lucky to now have that mentality in our dressing room with a lot of the lads, who
could all carry the mantle of being a football team captain.

Last week I was away for four days and the timing for my trip was spot on as of course the
Arsenal were not in action because of World Cup Qualifiers and friendlies. But, I can't say I
didn't miss anything as there was plenty going on and below I will try to provide my thoughts on
all the news on our beloved Arsenal.

Much has been written about the way in which Mark Hughes has overhauled the side over the past
twelve months, with the deadline day sale of Richard Dunne a symbolic move given his links to the
past.
Not only was Dunne the longest serving player, but he was clearly the most experienced City player
with his 290 league starts.

After confidently predicting that Man City will win the league this year, it is with great
delight and a degree of smugness that I've watched Mark Hughes' men confidently open their campaign
with a 100% record and zero goals conceded. That's right all you naysayers.... Zero goals conceded!
Oh, how the so called experts carped on about City's vulnerabilities at the back, about how they
will win or lose each game 4-3.

A great majority of the football world has grown used to laughing off Arsene
Wenger's dramatic remarks over major incidents in recent years. This is precisely why the
Arsenal manager was largely ignored when he labeled the accusations over
Gunners striker Eduardo's recent "dive" against
Celtic as a "witch-hunt".

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger opted to sign no players on the last day of transfer market and
Thomas Vermaelen remains the Frenchman's only signing of the summer.
Having sold Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City, the Gunners were linked with a
number of players including Marouane Chamakh and Brede Hangeland but Wenger decided to stick with
his squad, which he believes is strong enough to challenge for the title.

Well, that's it. The transfer window has come and gone, not with a bang but a whimper. No
signings, no sales, no loans to report on the last day. For better or for worse, this is our squad
until January.
To review, we sold or released three players over the summer Amaury Bischoff, Kolo Toure, and
Emmanuel Adebayor.

of the great start that Arsenal have made this season.

This summer may have seemed a bit boring as far as transfers go, but things are finally heating
up. Manchester City and Real Madrid were the overwhelming big spenders during the blistering hot
summer months, but with only a few days remaining the "smaller" clubs are working hard to fill out
their squads for the fall and winter.

With only a few days left in transfer window I would like to reflect on the major dealings of
the summer and some changes I would introduce if I was Sepp Blatter.
As we all know, Manchester City and Real Madrid have been at the center of transfer activity
during the summer, spending obscene amounts of money on players.
