The weather here has been marvellous today but just as I sit down to write to you the wind has picked up, there’s some menacing clouds in the sky and I just heard some thunder. Now rain. Eek.

Diaby return bigger than Gallas, Sagna and Bendtner losses
2008-10-17 09:15:00 Today is a good day my friends. Apart from being Friday, the best day in the week, it is also the day that Abou Diaby has been announced as being fit enough to return to the Arsenal squad. According to the manager Diaby - who I see as the long-term partner for Cesc Fabregas in the centre ...

Arsenal trounced as Eboue and Gallas lose their cool
2008-02-17 01:12:00 Arsenal were dumped out of the FA Cup in astonishing fashion as Manchester United handed out a 4-0 drubbing at Old Trafford overnight. The home side were three up within 38 minutes as Wayne Rooney and Darren Fletcher scored with their head and Luis Nani clinically finished off Michael Carrick’s perfect pass. Things only got worse for Arsenal after the break when Emmanuel Eboue was correctly sent off for a deliberate studs-to-the-knee challenge against Patrice Evra and Arsene Wenger’s side were lucky not to be down to nine when William Gallas kicked out at Nani off the ball. The rout was completed in the 74th minute when Fletcher scored his second of the game, heading home Nani’s excellent cross. You can see all the highlights here. From an Arsenal perspective there are few positives to take out of this game. The injury situation at the club meant that while Wenger was able to field a reasonably strong side, there were key players in crucial positions missing. J...

Spurs preview - Gallas to lead depleted kids out
2008-01-22 12:24:00 So here we are again - for the fourth time this season, Arsenal and Spurs will square off against each other, with the familiar build up focusing on our impressive record against the old enemy over the years. Tonight is something different though, because Spurs go into the second leg of the Carling Cup semi as favourites, based on both the first leg draw, and the confirmation that Wenger will, for the most part, stick to the same youngsters that have brought us this far. There are exceptions - with Toure in Ghana, Djourou already out, and now Senderos injured, Gallas steps in as the only remaining centre back, to partnered by one of Hoyte or Sagna, probably the former. With Song also at the African Cup of Nations, and Diarra now departed, there are a couple of spaces for more experienced players, and Wenger has suggested that he'll line the bench with game changing options, not a bad plan given that he may not field the first choice eleven in the FA Cup this weekend either. I have ...

william gallas, leader of men
2007-11-06 05:18:00 Talk about stating the blindingly obvious, but the last two seasons have been most frustrating as an Arsenal supporter. It was obvious that there was huge talent in the squad, and considering we'd done fairly well against the other title rivals, it was clear that aside from injuries, it was games against lower-table sides that had cost us the most points. Ignoring the clamour that we needed large doses of investment (which I for one never agreed with) it was also obvious that a few tweaks could fix those problems, and make this team's sum greater than it's parts. Arséne Wenger saw things in the light of the latter, and duly did little to change the squad over the summer transfer window. During those games when we were losing 1-0's and drawing 1-1's, something else was also patently clear...

Squad Update: Van Persie, Senderos Out / Gallas, Lehmann, Rosicky, Eduardo
2007-10-18 18:42:00 Robin van Persie will be out for a month after injuring his knee playing for Holland on Wednesday. He limped off against Slovenia after he fell awkwardly and appeared to badly twist his knee. He will miss a number of key fixtures as the Champions League restarts next week and Arsenal face Liverpool and Manchester United back to back after the Bolton match."We will know later how bad it is but the early signs are he will not be able to perform for us the next four weeks. It is a big blow. I hope he will be back soon and we'll do the maximum to get him back," Arsene Wenger said while speaking to Arsenal.com.Meanwhile, defender Philippe Senderos faces two weeks on the sidelines after picking up a back injury playing in Switzerland's midweek friendly against the USA.

Injured Gallas to sit out for three weeks
2007-08-20 17:04:00 After sustaining a groin injury in the last match against Blackburn Rovers, William Gallas is set to be sidelined for at least three weeks. This means we will be without proper defensive cover until Gallas returns. Senderos will partner Toure at the back until then.I don't have any doubts that Senderos will perform well. He has partnered well with Tore in the past and he is very much capable of doing that again. He is strong in the air and will surely do well. He just needs to have 2-3 first team matches continuously. And the injury to Gallas means this a great chance for him to prove his critics wrong. What concerns me is the fact that we have no one to cover further injuries at the center back position. One more injury means we'll end up playing Alex Song in that position. Very worrying indeed.After his mistake in the last match, Jens Lehmann is talking again; about how England players are mentally weak. It's good to see that he is trying to get involved in other things rather ...

Gallas is a changed man.
2007-08-08 16:10:00 William Gallas continued his pre-season form of talking by praising the team for a change. In one months time his opinion has changed from this, to this. Wenger might have promised him the captaincy band if he started talking sense. May he just gave him a nice clean advice - "cut it off".Anyway its good to hear him say something that would help the team rather than pulling down their morale. And it's quite a turn around in his opinion when he says Arsenal are genuine title contenders.“They are professionals and they have had one more year's experience behind them. As far as I'm concerned they will be ready this season. I realised that during pre-season. What I saw during the tournaments - against Paris St-Germain, Inter, Ajax and Lazio - it was different. The spirit was different. Everybody fought for his team-mate and when you see that you realise. I don't know why it's changed but something clearly has. I can't call them 'the kids' - they're not kids any more - but the...

Gallas looks a decent captain; van Persie looks sensational; a perfect pre-
2007-08-06 12:16:00 An interesting pre-season, it has to be said. Aside from the games in Austria, we've been involved in two reasonably big tournaments and come out triumphant in both. Whether pre-season friendlies actually mean anything is, of course, a matter for debate, but it's always nice to win trophies. The main highlights for me have been the performances of certain players and the new sense of unity in the team. The first, and most obvious, player who's starred has been Robin van Persie. His goal against Inter was so good, you almost wished he'd saved it up for a more important occasion. His persistence and even his abrasive attitude were also good to see in the Ajax game. It's never a bad thing to have a few spiky characters on the pitch.Gael Clichy has been outstanding. His run against Ajax which led to the goal was little more than sensational. For a long time it may have been wishful thinking to say this, but we may actually have the best left-back in the premiership. Alex Hle...
