There's something in the air at The Emirates Stadium. Arsenal Football Club has had a difficult 2012 so far, and patience for some, at least is starting to wear thin, leading to a protest that has brought puzzled expressions from elsewhere. At this lunchtime's match against Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League, a group of supporters plans to place black bin bags on seats at the ground prior to the match.

Arsene is still the man for the job and I'll tell you why... by Kashmaster These last few weeks have tested the patience of even the most faithful Arsenal fans. We have suffered our third successive league defeat at the hands of our most bitter rivals during the Premier League era. Once again there have [.

Man, where do I even start? First, let me apologize for such a long hiatus. These past few months have been pretty crazy for me for a number of reasons, but I'm back now. If there's anyone out there that actually still reads this blog, thank you for your patience. This hasn't been a fun time for me, but things are starting to look up.

Andy Carroll who has come under intense fire from the Liverpool faithful the past few weeks for his inconsistent performances, responded to his critics by scoring in Liverpool's 3-0 win over Wolves yesterday.

The £35 million signing from Newcastle opened the scoring for the Reds, to take his tally for the club to 7.

Keys to victory for the Blast:

• Patience and communication: Baltimore will likely come out and try to establish the tempo of the game from the start.

In recent weeks, it has become clear (IMO) that Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is losing patience with Andy Carroll. Despite Luis Suarez being banned, and Liverpool desperately needing goals, Carroll was left on the bench for crucial games against Stoke and Man City, and experienced the nadir of being reduced to a time-wasting tactic in the last game.

As you probably know, Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp is currently been investigated for tax evasion offenses committed over 3 years ago and things got interesting yesterday when in tape recordings presented to the court, Redknapp said that he could not have fiddled his tax returns because he is illetrate.

Liverpool and Queens Park Rangers have been alerted to the availability of former Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb, with Barcelona ready to make the out-of-favour Belarusian a free agent, after talks over cancelling his contract.
The move comes two weeks after Hleb returned to Barcelona following a failed loan spell with Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg, who had asked to terminate his season-long agreement six months early, after the 30-year-old struggled with form and fitness, making just four appearances this term.

If Paul Jewell were to be sacked today, I really don't think I'd feel any sorrow.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not starting any protests to demand he be removed from my club. (As I've long been saying - changing managers on a regular basis is not going to get us anywhere.) But I am rapidly losing patience with him.

Sacrificial lamb?

The fallout from the defeat to Swansea has been dire and depressing. The "Wenger OUT!!" brigade has come out in full force after going into hiding for a good few months now. Granted, they had no reason to voice their concern during that period. What with the wins that we kept racking up and the continual move up the table.

Tottenham Hotspur tonight moved level on points with second placed Manchester United after a performance of patience and high quality.

Everton turned up at The Lane as many teams now do, to sit deep and try and frustrate Spurs. It's to the credit of Harry Redknapp and his team that they didn't get frustrated and saw the opposition off to seal the points.

Picking up another defeat against Newcastle United on Wednesday obviously gives a worrying sight for Manchester United fans as that was their team's second consecutive defeat after previously being gunned down by Blackburn Rovers.

However, the Red Devils' manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, ordered calmness among everyone as it's not time to get panic since they're still only three points away from the current league leader, Manchester City.

Liverpool goalscoring legend John Aldridge seems to be losing patience with Andy Carroll, and he's once again called on the striker to improve in one crucial area of his game.Aldridge recently insisted that Carroll's positioning was 'poor' and his tactical awareness was 'frustrating', and after watching him play against Newcastle last week, Aldo's frustration with the beleaguered player seems to

After dominating the first period at Carrow Road last night, Tottenham had to show great patience in turning that dominance into a vital win. With sides all around dropping points, Spurs read the script for once and sealed the victory that cemented third place – four points ahead of nearest rivals Chelsea and with a game in hand.

We haven't done one of these for a while but here are some interesting links.

Jonathan Wilson on Villas-Boas.

"Rome wasn't built in a day," Brian Clough once said. "But then I wasn't on that particular job." It's a great line, but the truth is that the majority of managers need time.

Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam says Andy Carroll will come good for the club following an indifferent start to life as Britain's most expensive ever player.
Carroll was signed from Newcastle last January for £35 million and has so far failed to reproduce the form he showed on Tyneside, though Adam says it is important to remember he is just 22 years old.

I don't know what the tiredness equivalent of what *boilk* is but I've got that this morning.

Plus a touch of actual *boilk* too but not enough to actually make me *boilk*. Last night at The Tollington we launched the book So Paddy got up an Arsenal anthology, and first and foremost I want to thank all the people who came along, bought a book and had a beer or two.

Lots of former Liverpool players have entered the stressful world of football management over the years, but Steve McManaman is not one of them, and judging by his latest comments, it doesn't look like he'll be following the likes of Robbie Fowler and Dietmar Hamann into the dugout any time soon.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Overwhelming Relief

Well then. That was something, now wasn't it? If you're looking for high-octane end-to-end stuff, this was the place to be. If you're looking for lots of shots, this was the venue. If you were looking for improvement, this was certainly a good place to start.

First, Jack wrote a brilliant piece on the return of one Sam Hutchinson this morning which deserves recognition. So, before going any further, read here.

After a couple of weeks off, we're back at it! We want to thank you for your patience and as we navigate the holiday season we will most likely be on a bi-weekly schedule until closer to preseason.

This week we talk about the loss of players James Riley and Tyson Wahl. As you probably know, Riley was selected by Montreal Impact in the expansion draft and immediately traded to Chivas USA and Wahl was traded to the Impact for allocation dollars.

André Villas-Boas says Chelsea's form has made Stamford Bridge anxious

• Manager concerned by crowd's tension during home games • December's games are key to season, says Portuguese André Villas-Boas admitted that Chelsea had lost their way at Stamford Bridge and become anxious when they play there, after they slumped to a third home defeat in four matches and were knocked out of the Carling Cup by Liverpool.

Former Barcelona and AC Milan star Ronaldinho who now plays for Brazilian club Flamengo has not been paid for the last 4 months and according to his brother who also doubles up as his agent, Gaucho is starting to lose patience with the club.

It is known the exact amount Dinho is paid every week, but it is believed to be in the region of £95,000.

Why Athletic's patience with Bielsa is a lesson for Chelsea

MirrorFootball has teamed up with some of the blogosphere's best new writers to bring you even more great football reads every single day. Wednesday is La Liga day, and here's www.spanishfootball.info's David Cartlidge with his take on the week's big issues in Spain.

Last Friday we witnessed the US National Team in a tepid display against France. If you missed it, count yourself lucky as it was rough to watch. Tomorrow the team will have a chance at redemption against Slovenia. We're likely to see much of the same though. Jurgen Klinsmann hasn't done much to reassure fans of anything in the past months string of friendlies.

Protests, posters and even banners in the air seem to have done little to undermine the Venky's unwavering support for Blackburn's beleaguered boss Steve Kean. Indeed, according to reports today, the Scot has signed a new and improved contract with the club, in a development which won't have gone down too well amongst the majority of Rovers fans.

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina believes that Manchester City are are on course to win the Premier League title this season.
Reina, who had a shaky game against Swansea at the weekend, observed:
"I think we are already seeing a very strong side, which is City; the rest of us will just try to be as high as possible.

Why I'm predicting a tough test for the Toon at Stoke

Playing Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium is like being body-searched at the toughest airport ­security in the world. It is an experience that requires patience, ­perseverance and a great deal of purpose. On Monday night ­Newcastle United must withstand such a comprehensive and personal ­examination if Alan Pardew's men are to ­continue their fabulous unbeaten start to their Premier League season.

Bayern Munich's Croatian striker Ivica Olic has threatened to leave the club if his role as a super substitute does not change soon. Olic has made only 5 appearances for the champions this season totaling a meagre 72 minutes of play.

The 32 year old striker has had an injury plagued career the past 2 years which have resulted in him falling down the pecking order in the eyes of coach Jupp Heynckes.

FIFA have released the dates and venues for the matches of the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil, with the patience of traveling supporters set to be tested once again.
Instead of keeping group games within a couple of venues located close to one-another, as used to be the norm, fans will face trips of up to 2,000 miles in order to watch all of their nation's opening clashes.

Kenny Dalglish admits he does not yet know Jordan Henderson's best position but insists the Liverpool midfielder is at the right club.
Henderson, 21, made a £20million switch from Sunderland to Liverpool in the summer as Dalglish set about creating an English heartbeat to his team.
The size of the fee and the lack of a regular position in the team have seen the England Under 21 international struggle at times to display his best form.

It is that time again for the player ratings based on a 1 to 10 scale. 1 being bad and 10 being epic.

• Rodney Wallace - 5 - Really thought he started out really well but faded as the game went on
• Futty Danso - 7 - Without him and Brunner the Timbers would have lost
• Eric Brunner - 6 - Got turned way to easily on the goal but saved another one
• Eric Alexander - 6 - I really thought he relieved a ton of pressure and got out of tight spots, once he was taken off it was back to the kick and chase
