Arsenal

[Daley]

The Arsenal Gent Carzola picture and Walcott's nickname (Fenton) are my favourite things ever.

I see people are getting into a big flap about Sagna's interview in L'Equipe. Personally I think some of his comments are pretty ill-judged coming three games into a new season. How about you wait and see how we get on before you start saying losing Alex Song is the worst thing in the history of the world, eh?

As for his contract, he's 29 and is coming back from breaking his leg again in pretty much the same place he broke it last year. I don't think it's odd that the club might want to see how he gets on first before talking about a new deal on improved terms.

[Lucky]

Yeah, definitely a case of move along nothing to see here.

Ooh, edgy Theo

[The Fox]

Gents squad updated. Next week we are promised a delve into the archives for "A look back at The Invincibles. A splendid side consisting of seven Englishmen, two Irishmen, a Finn... and of course an Indian."

[Petrousgyre]

Apologies for this Rev, I was having a rummage around looking for an old post when I came across this from last summer - Re: RVP.

Well, I can't see him leaving. But I also can't see him having an injury free season either...

Fucking Nostradamus up in here.

[Rev]

Skillz.

At least Bendtner only went out on loan, so there's still a bit of hope that all the rest of my Arsenal predictions will come true.

[Dude Ranch]

Hope for the Bender fans!

Wenger believes Bendtner, who impressed for Denmark at Euro 2012, will show his true colours in Serie A and has refused to rule out the prospect of him leading Arsenal's line at some point in the future.

"He can do well in Italy," the Gunners boss told Corriere dello Sport.

"He's a top player for me, but he's had difficulties here. You can't doubt the player's value though.

"We believe in him and that is why we only gave him to Juventus on loan.

"I think he can resolve his problems with us and prove himself. We believe in him."

I can't really see it though.

[The Fox]

Yeah let's be honest, he's gone on loan because no club in its right mind would be willing to match what we're paying him.

Did everyone make it through last night's games without dying? I see Diaby and Cazorla both started and scored.

[Daley]

Banter.

Wait for it...

[carlito]

Giroud out with a muscle injury.

Please no.

[The Fox]

He'll play Podolski at No9 before he has to resort to Chamakh, I'd imagine.

[Oh Danny Boy]

Giroud out with a muscle injury.

Please no.

bloody hell it doesn't take long for players to start picking up soft tissue injuries once they join Arsenal does it? soon to be out for three months i bet you

[Lucky]

Giroud was an unused sub for France yesterday. Is he injured?

Chamakh is ill isn't he? That just leaves Podolski.

Is this a crisis?

With spectacular insights such as these it can only be a matter of time before you're sat next to Lawro on the Match Of The Day sofa.

[Lucky]

During this very exciting International break, I found the time to find these.......

Edit: This one seems to have been blocked.

Diaby's run may be over. It seems he's picked up a muscle strain and will miss France's game tonight & is a doubt for our game against Southampton on Saturday.

[hercules]

It's a minor muscle injury, very common considering he has been injured for so long. It seems like France aren't taking a gamble on him which is good.

[Lucky]

I hope you're right, it's just that I didn't realise we did minor muscle injuries.

[Rev]

It's minor, but it will require at least a double amputation.

Walcott is feeling a bit sick too, so I suspect he'll be out for at least the rest of the season.

[hercules]

Sick of always being on the bench more like, he has competition for club and country so needs to really knuckle down and fight for a place. Who's going to the game on sat? I'm looking forward to it, then Im off to Greece for two weeks ????

[Daley]

I will be there.

The game.

Not Greece.

[The Fox]

The Arsenal Gent's Invincibles team is the best thing I've seen in a long time.

Indeed. But for me it's a name that takes it rather than a picture.

Ashley Cole is...

The photo of Lauren is incredible.

[Arc'Tan'Gent]

So no Walcott, Giroud or Diaby this week. To add to Chesney, Rosicky, Wilshere, Sagna and Frimpong. Anyone getting that Groundhog Day feeling? Again?

[Rev]

And to think we missed out on Owen.

[Arc'Tan'Gent]

I hear Fabregas and Ronaldo are unsettled, too!

There's still tonight to get through too.

If there's a God, that c*nt who fucked off to the Mancs will get injured soon. Preferably tonight.
