Re: Arsenal

FA to take no action over Tottenham incident

The following statement was released by the FA on Thursday afternoon
"The FA will not take any formal disciplinary action against Emmanuel Adebayor over the incident involving Arsenal team-mate Nicklas Bendtner during the Carling Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham but will write to both players to remind them of their responsibilities."

Re: Arsenal

That story is bullshit - typical of British papers.

Ade/Bendtner were having a row over an earlier pass gone wrong and the freekick positions. Ade is not that type; Nik probably instigated it, he comes across as the very cocky and arrogant type.

Pathetic paper.

Re: Arsenal

Arsène Wenger may try to draft in Kolo Toure straight from the African Nations Cup for Monday's night game against Blackburn at Emirates Stadium.

The Arsenal manager admits his side is "down to the bare bones" with 11 players out or doubtful. The roll call is as follows: Emmanuel Eboue, Alex Song (both international duty), Johan Djourou (groin), Philippe Senderos (knee) Robin van Persie (thigh), Abou Diaby (calf), Mathieu Flamini (hamstring), Manuel Almunia (sick), Denilson (hamstring) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring). If Toure does figure he is likely to be fatigued from a tough tournament in Ghana. But, with Senderos considered a "major doubt", the manager thinks it will be worth making some calls.

"I don't know," said Wenger at his pre-match press conference on Friday. "Ivory Coast play on Saturday afternoon. I have not called him yet but I will try to see if he can take a flight from Accra to London. Otherwise it will be Gilberto, who is back, or Justin Hoyte at centre half.

"Rosicky, van Persie and Djourou are out. Almunia is a doubt. His thumb is OK but he is sick. We'll see tomorrow and Sunday about him.

"On top of that we don’t have Eboue and Song. Also we lost Diaby with a calf problem and we might have lost Flamini with a hamstring. He had to move out from the French national team.

"Philippe Senderos came off injured in midweek with a medial knee ligament and is a major doubt. He has played with it before and we'll see on Monday. I don’t rule him out completely and he is positive about it. Our medical team are a bit less. He wants to test it out over the weekend.

"Diaby, in fairness, picked the injury up at Man City. We sent him on international duty with information explaining that he was injured and they did not play him.

"But overall we are very, very short and it is down to the bare bones."
Injuries (expected return fixtures):

Senderos - Man Utd (16th Feb - FA Cup)
Flamini - Man Utd (16th Feb - FA Cup)
Almunia - Man Utd (16th Feb - FA Cup)
Djourou - Birmingham (23rd Feb)
Van Persie - Birmingham (23rd Feb)
Denilson - Birmingham (23rd Feb)
Rosicky - Birmingham (23rd Feb)
Diaby - Wigan*/Middlesborough (9th March)

I've already paid out on my brother, whom I've temporarily moved in with. Biggest Man U (and West Coast at that) wnaker I know.

The full sweetness won't be realised until we roll Blackburn though.

What an ordinary weekend, North beaten in a crap game & the Gunners smashed. Don't think I'll go to training tonight, I gave my pommie mate heaps on Saturday Night, kept telling him scores (made up), he believed me the first time!

Anyway now we can concentrate on winning the league title!

Re: Arsenal

Chance gone begging last night, last minute penalty for Birmingham from a lazy, lazy defensive effort by Clichy. Still, he got his foot on the ball, so maybe the decision was a bit off.

Positive- Theo, two goals, the step up we need with Eduardo being ruled out for the season.

Negative- Man U demolition of Newcastle. Back to two points.

Really poor, the premiership is ours to lose... looks like we are doing our best to ensure we do

Just spoke to friend who is an osteopath. He explained that from look of injury, a circular bone at base of leg, under tibia and fibula, has broken away from the rest of the leg. The accompanying nerve damage means Eduardo will be unlikely to play again
