We've done pretty damn well to be where we are on the table considering the players we have been missing.

The first half was a good indicator for the future of Eduardo - after the broken leg, he no longer has the pace to latch onto either the long balls or the slide rule passes into the box. It's just not something he can do anymore.
What he can do is be a box predator, and also do what Arshavin does (minus his pace) on the opposite side of the park - play wide off the to be determined Centre Forward in our 4-3-3, and use his finish and ability on the ball to attack the byline or cut into the box.

Arsenal.com says Walcott and Denilson in, Merida out for the midweek game.
ACN update ... Ivory Coast have qualified for the knockout stage so we may not regain Eboue this month.
As for Song, Cameroon could be knocked out on Thursday if they lose to Tunisia. A draw could also eliminate them if Zambia defeat Gabon by 2+ goals.

Go Tunisia and Zambia! Annoyed Cameroon got that late winner. It's only because we love you so much Alex!
Going with a laboured Newstopia type analogy: Song = Beecher, Arsenal= Keller, EPL= Oz, Africa= freedom. Apologies to non-lovers of Newstopia/Oz/stupid analogies.
Does anyone know if the Bolton game will be on Foxtel? I can't find it on the electronic guide but perhaps that is due to the late fixture change.

I don't think it is because of the late fixture change because it does show the Liverpool/Tottenham game.
Yep. Perhaps it will be one of those sports active type games.
So happy for Merida to get his first goal, well done son.......

Nice recent interview with Alex here: http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/2...-alex-song-we-will-be-ready-for-the-fight-and
ATM, doesn't look like our game will be televised on Foxtel as they are also showing a Carling Cup game. Might be able to find a stream though.
Hopefully. Although it isn't being shown in the UK, but usually streams come from elsewhere anyway.

Team news vs Bolton
Arsenal will take first place if they win this by at least 2 goals (at least until Man Utd play Hull on the weekend).

Predicted lineup ...
Subs: Fabianski, Silvestre, Traore, Eastmond, Emmanuel-Thomas, Walcott, Vela
Sidelined: Djourou (knee), Gibbs (foot), Eboue (International duty), Song (International duty), Nasri (hamstring), Ramsey (thigh), Wilshere (hamstring), Merida (ankle), Bendtner (groin), van Persie (ankle)
Prediction: Arsenal 4 - 0 Bolton

Amazing how you pick up a "knock" in training and your out for 3 weeks. Merida injured now aswell.... wtf is goin on. I'd like to see JET play apparently he is like diaby and can be played in a number of different positions. Not looking forward to denilson getting r*ped again but ohwell.

If Djourou was fit, I'd suggest ship them both off.
Phil can't afford to sit on the bench with the World Cup coming up. Shame his career has halted like this, looked promising but he is still fairly young for a CB.
Let's hope we see no more of Traore at LB. Terrible.
Might have a future further up the field

Be massive for confidence to go top.
Good to have Walcott back. What a bonus that would be if he could somehow manage to stay fit for the rest of the campaign.

For the amount of injured/unavailable players we have, that is a damn fine starting line-up. Go you gunners!
Going to Milan was a bad move really. He would have played a fair bit last season after we lost all our defenders, but basically he's lost two years of his career because of going there.
2-0 down after 30 minutes. Wow.
Would have loved HT to come a few mins later, completely owned the last couple of minutes after Rosicky's goal.
He just seems scared to put his foot through it.Eduardo just isn't up for it anymore
