Park Chu-Young is a proven goal scorer. However, he needs a hell of a long leg to score from the bench, which is where he's been wasting away all season long for Arsenal. Chu-Young is getting fed up of watching games instead of participating in them and according to his agent he's ready to leave Emirates Stadium in the summer.

Following the arrival of Nicolas Anelka and Jean Tigana at Shanghai Shenhua, the Chinese Super League (CSL) has received more attention in a month than it has previously done in almost a decade.

The CSL itself is coming up to its ninth year as China's top league since it superseded the Jia-A League in 2003.

In the spirit of the 125 anniversary celebrations, and in a follow up to Darren's recent blog about Arsenal's history, I now ask the question of whether the current team is the most multicultural team in history. I wasn't the first one to notice it, but we've recently used a couple of different lineups where every player hailed from a different country.

Since Ju Young Park arrived from Monaco in August he has made less than a handful of appearances for Arsenal.
Now I understand there is always going to be a period of 'transition' for a player coming in from a different country, but at times I wonder whether Park is actually real or a figment of my imagination.

At the end of Saturday's game, SZCZ fell to his knees and kissed Robin's boot. Whilst it's a manoeuvre many other gooners would probably replicate at the moment, a better one would have been to cover Robin's entire body in cotton wool.
We are not a one-man side. We have one of the best goalkeepers in European football.

The Vancouver Whitecaps added a veteran fullback with loads of World Cup experience to his name by signing South Korean defender Lee Young-Pyo.

According to reports, the 34-year-old Lee is joining the club on a one-year deal with an option for one more. It remains to be seen on which side of the field Lee will play for first-year manager Martin Rennie, with left backs Jordan Harvey and Alain Rochat already in the fold.

To coin a well-known footballing phrase, it's squeaky bum time in two of Asia's biggest leagues.

In Japan the title will go down to a last day showdown with any one from Kashiwa Reysol, Nagoya Grampus Eight and Gamba Osaka all capable of winning the championship. Kashiwa currently hold the advantage of topping the table with 69 points from 33 games whilst Nagoya and Osaka trail the leaders by just one and two points respectively with one round of matches to be played next weekend.

As I intimated Persipura will not be entering the 2012 AFC Champions League. At least automatically. The AFC are obviously so unimpressed by the internal dicking around in Indonesian football that the automatic spot has been given to Buriram PEA from the Thai Premier League. Assuming of course they win the TPL!

Asian power South Korea were beaten 2-1 in Beirut by Lebanon who rank 112 places below them in the FIFA rankings which in any region is a huge accomplishment.

Arsenal fans are yet to see the most out of their summer signing Chu-Young Park and after spending a little over two months with limited playing time at the club, the former Monaco striker admits that he has been settling down.

The 26-year old Park, who scored 25 goals in his 91 Ligue 1 appearances, has struggled for playing time since arriving at the Emirates in the closing stages of the summer transfer window.
