So the meaningless international week has left us with at least one significant problem, if not
two. Firstly RVP has sprained his ankle and will be out for a few weeks, despite hacks at the Sun
speculating wildly when they didn't even know the true nature of the injury, he will NOT be out for
the season, and it is not possible to predict exactly how long it will take him to recover.

"It's good news about the transfer ban being suspended but we lose four good players to the
African Nations Cup in January anyway.

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has attempted to speed up his recovery from an ankle injury — by
using placenta fluid, reports The Sun.

striker Danko Lazovic.
The 26-year-old star has been ruled out for six weeks but claims Arsenal doctors have given him
their blessing to pursue the strange treatment.

I read the Sun's article on Huntelaar rejecting a move to Spurs and thought; 'hold on a second, who
said we wanted you?'
Fair enough, Harry was interested in the summer, but that all changed when Crouch was signed. Milan
took the punt on him, spending €15 million (£13 million or so). Oh how they wish they hadn't.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could revive his bid for Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh over Robin
van Persie's ankle injury.
Van Persie is upbeat over his setback, confident he'll be back in "four to six weeks", however
scans today will reveal the true extent of the ligament damage.
The Sun says fellow striker Nicklas Bendtner is already out until the New Year after groin surgery
and Wenger could be forced to spend in the January transfer window.

Mike Ashley has really done it now. In his efforts to rebrand Newcastle's stadium as
sportsdirect.com@St James' Park, which I'm pretty sure is just a dyslexic email address, Ashley
forced supporters to launch their own bid to buy the club from him and end his reign of
embarrassment.
Well, Sting and the rest of The Police (you know, the other two guys who aren't Sting) are
backing the Newcastle United Supporters Trust's totally originally titled "Yes We Can" campaign to
gain control of the club.

by CARL ELDRIDGEÂ Arsene Wenger was clearly riled after we threw away a 2-0 lead in the draw
against West Ham at Upton Park yesterday.
As were the Arsenal hordes as we filed out of the ground with a miserable shuffle in search of a
