Talk Football Here... - Part 7

[Ross]

come on swans!

[30stone]

same old story arsenal always think they are especially being victimised

no, its just that your team is small so you can tell more, teams do the same to every other team their teams are just stronger, you have to deal with it really

its arsenes fault for buying loads of shortarses in

Thats isnt the point at all..

Campbell, Vermaelen
Diaby Song
Bendtner..

People just kick fabregas thats fact.

[30stone]

Great to see the ref finally giving out the cards that burnley deserve :)

[King Gizzard]

football would be a terrible game without hard tackles

[30stone]

Of course it would.

But the fact is you see people make 5 or 6 fouls and not get a yellow.
Then like song and diaby (usually) make 1 tackle or 2 its yellow.

How is that fair?

[30stone]

Rangers 13 points clear.

[King Gizzard]

yeaa i get what you mean

[bbfan1991]

Rooney out of the Wolves game:(, at least he's getting a bit of rest and trying to recover:joker:.

[30stone]

I dont think teams go really too much differnt with us, i definately think stoke to and sometimes blackburn..

Its the refs when we complain to much about the fouls and the refs give nothing...

I guess it took a leg break to change

[30stone]

3 - 1 Arsenal
Arshavin.

[30stone]

Nottingham forest 1 - 0 Swansea

[Ross]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ffs.

[bbfan1991]

Arshavin:D.. I shouldn't be happy Arsenal won but wanting a three horse race and great finish to the season welcome the competition.

Notts Forest scored:(.

[30stone]

Arsenal win 3 - 1 against Burnley.

Fabregas
Walcott
Arshavin


Nugent.

[30stone]

Newcastle win 6 - 1.

[30stone]

Arshavin:D.. I shouldn't be happy Arsenal won but wanting a three horse race and great finish to the season welcome the competition.

Notts Forest scored:(.

Yeah this is going to be fun end to the season.

[30stone]

Swansea should have had a penalty.

[30stone]

Arsenal 12 points clear of Tottenham and Man city.

Tottenham have 1 game in hand and city have 2 though.

[bbfan1991]

Bloody Albion:rolleyes:.. now need to hope for a response:).

[30stone]

Arsenal payed a nice tribute to Aaron Ramsey at the end..

All putting on white t shirts saying "Get well soon Aaron" on the front and "Ramsey 16" on the back.. and all come out clapping.. getting the fans to cheer good to see.

I saw that on SSN, was nice of them:).

Glad United won and got the 3 points in a close match against Wolves, really pleased Paul Scholes got his 100th PL goal:cheer2:. Vital win without Rooney too still lots of talent on the pitch so not just a one man team but his absence is always felt regardless.

[30stone]

Match of the Day!!!!

Highlights.. cant wait to watch :)

Want to see how walcott shined.

[Iceman]

Yeah ****ing hell van persie or arshavin would have got at least 2.

[Iceman]

Arsenal wasnt on tv..


Oh right I was watching it on setanta.....

[30stone]

My gosh we should have had about 5

[30stone]

Oh right I was watching it on setanta.....

Dont have it wish i did but its not on sky no more.

[Iceman]

Dont have it wish i did but its not on sky no more.

I was wondering why i was posting the score before anyone else earlier.....i thought you was all asleep haha

[King Gizzard]

bendtner is so hot and cold. i dont think he ll ever make it tbh

[30stone]

Lol. no we had setanta but we cant get it no more for some reason..

[30stone]

bendtner is so hot and cold. i dont think he ll ever make it tbh

I know sometimes he makes a massive difference...

Sometimes he does that..

Lot of pressure on him though..

[King Gizzard]

setanta went bust last year it was funny..went into administration and their sports news channel was pulled off air mid broadcast it was hilarious

its only in ireland now, ESPN have taken over


setanta was **** anyway, hated it

Arista said it would be gone in Ireland by xmas......I think I won that debate!

See i like the irish one, it has GAA, Prem matches, CL, F1 and World rally championship and its free......good times for me haha

[setanta]

Doyle's been so good for Wolves this season. Pity they're shi$e though.

[Alf]

setanta went bust last year it was funny..went into administration and their sports news channel was pulled off air mid broadcast it was hilarious

setanta was **** anyway, hated it
yeah my bill for setanta just switched to espn

i must say that setanta was far more superior, it had australilian rugby league (which i personally love), and the best boxing fights on the planet, boxers dont come bigger in this day and age than joe calzaghe, and setanta had both his fights, against the 2 legends hopkins and jones jnr.

in other words, i prefer setanta

[30stone]

Fabregas could be out against porto now..

Could be it for Arsenal there...

[bbfan1991]

Andrey Arshavin is my favourite Arsenal player then Robin Van Persie and Tomas Rosicky:D.

[30stone]

Van Persie is mine i think.
Then Fabregas
Then Almunia
Then Vermaelen/ Arshavin

[Alf]

one word, fabregas
it's a shame your gonna lose him in the end, but that's the power of money

in the top 3 players in the world, with rooney and messi.

[bbfan1991]

Ooh yes Vermaelen is my fourth:).

In terms of the best players I would go:

1) Messi
2) Rooney
3) Ronaldo
4) Kaka
5) Villa

[Alf]

Ooh yes Vermaelen is my fourth:).

In terms of the best players I would go:

1) Messi
2) Rooney
3) Ronaldo
4) Kaka
5) Villa
kaka's past his best
villa nowhere near the top ten, he's gotta play in england(the best league in the world) to proove himself
drogba
torres
fabregas
essien
tevez
xavi
iniesta
they're all in front of villa for a start

[30stone]

Messi
Ronaldo
Fabregas
Rooney
Villa
Ibrahimovic
Iniesta
Drogba


Kinda in order kinda not..

[30stone]

No doubt that villa is absolutely amazing..

[Alf]

No doubt that villa is absolutely amazing..
cant believe how high you rate him, he's never done anything that outstanding that's caught my eye, maybe you've seen something i haven't.
when it come to the big game in the euro final , who scrored the deciding goal? torres, if i wanted a striker to score me a goal i'd want torres before villa.

[setanta]

Yeah, I've never understood the praise he gets here. One things for sure, this World Cup will show us who the best striker in the world is.

[30stone]

Well for a start he doesnt play in as good team as drogba.. rooney messi torres or anything..

Hes team arent as good.

Yet he is top goal scorer in la liga..

Villa has scored 17 goals in 22 games in the league this season..

At club level Torres has a goal every 2.16 games. (overall)
At club level villa has a goal every 1.77 games. (overall)

At international level torres has a goal every 3.08 games.
At international level Villa has a goal every 1.48 games.


Why do you people underate him?

I possibly overate him a little but seriously you put him out like hes nothing.. yet hes a awesome scorer..

[bbfan1991]

Villa had a slow rise to attention where as Torres talent was already spotted at Atletico Madrid both class players but I agree Torres is much better and I actually rate him better than Drogba:D.

[bbfan1991]

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/03/07/carlos-tevez-flys-lover-around-world-to-hotel-while-partner-brings-premature-baby-home-115875-22090626/

Naughty Tevez:shocked:, although Evra has been caught doing the dirty too by the Sun on yesterday paper:shocked:.

i'm not having a go at you, i respect every ones opinions.
stats mean nothing to me, it's what happens in the game's that count, the trophy games, the money games,.
i wont say anything bad about villa, to be fair i dont see that much of him, madrid and barcalona seem to be on sky every week, but he hasn't realy caught my eye yet, as setanta said (in a way) the world cup is where a star can shine.
so lets see.

[King Gizzard]

tevez is a ****

[Alf]

tevez is a ****
just keep the language down, there's children watching

[30stone]

If he was playing for barca this season i guarantee it would be different.

Its just he plays for a team that never make the headlines..

If he went to chelsea, man utd, barca or real who all wanted him..
(Along with bayern, inter, ac, arsnela and liverpool..)

He would be shown off more and you would see more of him.

[30stone]

tevez is a ****

After tevez took a shot at john terry, thats quite funny.

What a tit.

[30stone]

Dont understand how people dont rate ibrahimovic either..

[King Gizzard]

just keep the language down, there's children watching

swear filter lol

[setanta]

True Ben, I don't really get to see enough of him. World Cup will be great this year, even though Ireland aren't in it! Apparently Henry was booed by his own supporters in the France match.

[30stone]

Ohhh yeah and talking about david villa performing at world level, along with him having far better goal to game ratio.

He scored 4 in the euro 2008. (top scorer)
With torres getting 2.

[30stone]

True Ben, I don't really get to see enough of him. World Cup will be great this year, even though Ireland aren't in it! Apparently Henry was booed by his own supporters in the France match.


Scariest thing for me would be if liverpool were somehow able to sign villa, having torres and villa in the same team would be one scary strike force..

[Alf]

Dont understand how people dont rate ibrahimovic either..
i do
but he's one of them frustrating players that sometimes dosent look intrested, but when he plays he's probably the best player in the world, it's a shame he dosen't have the attitude of a rooney or messi.

[setanta]

Scariest thing for me would be if liverpool were somehow able to sign villa, having torres and villa in the same team would be one scary strike force..

I don't know why Villa hasn't moved to be honest with you. We'll see in the World Cup what he gets up to.

[30stone]

I don't know why Villa hasn't moved to be honest with you. We'll see in the World Cup what he gets up to.

Ohh i also failed to mention the reason torres stood out is because villa was injured in the semi final and didnt play the final in euro.. who knows he could have scored then...

It was his agent.

He was set to join real, barca and chelsea at certain points during the summer ( i kept track of it as i love him as a player ) and his agents ****ed em all up, he apparenlty ripped up the real contract himself.

Claiming they wernt giving him enough money.. villa has fired that agent.. lol!

[King Gizzard]

Carew > all

[30stone]

i do
but he's one of them frustrating players that sometimes dosent look intrested, but when he plays he's probably the best player in the world, it's a shame he dosen't have the attitude of a rooney or messi.

Yeah for me he looks like your perfect striker.

Hes Fast
Hes Technical
Hes 6 foot 4/5
Hes very well built and strong
He can finish with either foot
He has a wicked free kick.
He has a great footballing brain very smart.

Like you say if he had the attitude of one of the other he would be best in the world.

[Alf]

the rest of the world are fearing only one man
that is the best player in the world

wayne rooney

be proud of him

[30stone]

Id like to say Van Persie is a great striker.

Not so much a scorer.. but he lifts the team, very technical, always looking to pass it (makes loads of assists) and can score good goals..

[30stone]

Have to say.. Argentina are like sleeping giants..

Tevez
Messi
Higuain
Aguero

What team has that many strikers that are world class?

England sure doesnt..

[bbfan1991]

I had to laugh when Villa was linked to Utd the other day, we can't afford him with all the debt even though there is still the chunk of Ronaldo sale money left and Fergie insisting there is money available for Summer transfers:joker:.

Definetly need a striker in the summer:).

[bbfan1991]

the rest of the world are fearing only one man
that is the best player in the world

wayne rooney

be proud of him

Rooney is awesome!:cool::devil:, future legend he's so passionate about the game and he's exciting to watch and always has a different dimension to the game.

Thanks to Everton for bringing him to everyone's attention against Arsenal of all teams:p;).

[Alf]

Id like to say Van Persie is a great striker.

Not so much a scorer.. but he lifts the team, very technical, always looking to pass it (makes loads of assists) and can score good goals..
i have big respect for van persie, because he had massive shoe's to fill following henry, and before he got injured and fabregas was out the team, he was the man that was leading the arsenal team.

[setanta]

i really hope that Rooney has an excellent World Cup because I'd love to see him get European and World player of the year.

[30stone]

Yeah 7 goals and 7 assists in 11 premier league games this season...

He could have had a bloody amazing season and who knows maybe we could have beaten united or chelsea at least once..

[bbfan1991]

Dont understand how people dont rate ibrahimovic either..

I like Ibrahimovic he's like a Berbatov kind of player that is all about the technique but should be scoring more and creating chances but like the skill:).

[setanta]

I like Ibrahimovic he's like a Berbatov kind of player that is all about the technique but should be scoring more and creating chances but like the skill:).

I'm of the same mind as you my friend. He was rubbish in tonight's game. Ibrahimovic I mean.

[30stone]

i really hope that Rooney has an excellent World Cup because I'd love to see him get European and World player of the year.

Rooney already has premier league player of the year..

The only person that comes close is fabregas and he hasnt even been player of the month this seaon...




Van Persie is expected to be back mid april :)

Last 3 - 5 games he could play, weather he will be able to come straight back into it is a different matter though.

[bbfan1991]

i really hope that Rooney has an excellent World Cup because I'd love to see him get European and World player of the year.

He sooo deserves it:D. No wonder Ronaldo wants to play again with him in the future but absolutely no chance at Madrid:laugh2:.

I'm sure he's peed off at the suggestions of United not being able to cope without him as he's all about the team:thumbs:.

[30stone]

I'm of the same mind as you my friend. He was rubbish in tonight's game. Ibrahimovic I mean.

Everyone has them type of games..

Torres very often does.
Rooney on occasion.

Drogba never seems to be quiet..

[Alf]

Have to say.. Argentina are like sleeping giants..

Tevez
Messi
Higuain
Aguero

What team has that many strikers that are world class?

England sure doesnt..
agreed their attack is great, but their defence is abysmal, i watched them against brazil in a qualifier, and a sunday league team could have defended better,.

for me spain are worthy favourites, brazil are in decent form, and with rooney in our side we always have a chance.
apart from that france have some big players, but still dont think they're good enough.
so spain, brazil and england for me

[bbfan1991]

LOL Inter ripped off Barca big time swapping Ibrahimovic for Eto'o:D, then after that signing Diego Milito and Wesley Sneijder:D.

[30stone]

Yeah same as france have player for player a very strong team but dont seem to perform.


I hate Brazil with passions, so im hopeing spain or england..

Have to say id love to see netherlands get it if england cant, Van Persie getting the winner..

[30stone]

How were barca ripped off ?

[bbfan1991]

Madrid won Sevilla 3-2:mad:, hope Sevilla get the 4th Champions League place in Spain:).

Barca drawed:shocked:, was 1-1 before I turned it over:joker:.

[King Gizzard]

http://www.tfutbol.com/oyuncu/Wesley_Sneijder.jpg

[bbfan1991]

How were barca ripped off ?

Eto'o is a much better player IMO thats why:).

[30stone]

Only brazilian players i like.. Melo.

and my favourite by far Fabiano.

[King Gizzard]

Barca ripped off because


Etoo has a better scoring record then ibra, eto'o is only a year older, and is slightly better

yet not only did they have to swap the players, but 40m on top of that!? one of the biggest rip offs in football ever, despite how well ibra is doing now

[30stone]

Eto'o is a much better player IMO thats why:).

Ibrahimovic is better, and has 2 - 3 years on eto'o too.

Dont think you realise something.. barca swapped eto'o and 40m euro's for ibrahimovic...

http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2009/07/17/1387285/barcelona-sign-ibrahimovic-from-inter-for-40m-plus-etoo

[setanta]

Eto'o is a much better player IMO thats why:).

Agreed. Eto was perfect for the way Barcelona play.

[bbfan1991]

Only brazilian players i like.. Melo.

and my favourite by far Fabiano.

Not even Denilson?:shocked:.

Fabiano is a very good player:thumbs:, was glad when he joined Sevilla from Porto then they went on to win the UEFA cup twice in two years with their decent team:).

[setanta]

The only prob for Rooney is that during World Cup year they generally give the World Player to whoever wins the thing.

[bbfan1991]

I'm glad that AC Milan are finally starting to use Klass Jan Huntelaar more as he does have potential:), shame surreal Madrid wasted him:rolleyes:.

[30stone]

Not even Denilson?:shocked:.

Fabiano is a very good player:thumbs:, was glad when he joined Sevilla from Porto then they went on to win the UEFA cup twice in two years with their decent team:).

Yeah but he doesnt get a call up.

God knows why denilson doesnt, anderson and lucas do?

[Alf]

i'm gonna put my 2 pence in the ibro and eto argument
differnt types of player, ibrhoimovic (how ever you spell it) is by far a better footballer than ett'o(however you spell it). stronger, technichly, better in the air, more instinctive.

[King Gizzard]

in the past

eto'o = performs in the big games

ibra = doesn't

[bbfan1991]

Eto'o completely exposed the United defence last year in where as when Inter played United Ibrahimovic did nothing but waste chances.. not all his fault but it felt like there was something missing:conf:.

[30stone]

Right ladies im off to bed as im hopefully seeing the better half in the morning.

[30stone]

Claudio Ranieri has admitted he would love William Gallas to come and play for him again at Roma.

Ranieri brought Gallas to the Premier League during his time in charge at Chelsea and has followed his career with interest.

The French defender enjoyed success at Stamford Bridge before moving to Arsenal in 2006 as part of the deal that took Ashley Cole the opposite way.

The 32 year-old has gone through some difficult times with the Gunners, being stripped of the captaincy in November 2008, but remains an important member of the team.

However, he will be out of contract at the end of the season and Arsenal have the policy of offering only a one-year extension to players over 30 years of age.

Reports suggest Roma are monitoring the situation, with officials from the Serie A club already holding talks with the player's advisor Pierre Frelot

And Ranieri has made it clear that a player of Gallas' quality would fit in well at Roma.

"Gallas is a player who has achieved so much in his career," said the manager.

"I signed him when I was in charge at Chelsea and he has done well both for them and Arsenal.

"He is a top-level player and all top players are welcome at Roma."

Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh accepts he faces a massive challenge in moving to Arsenal next season.

Chamakh has agreed a five-year £50,000-a-week contract with Arsenal and will move to the Emirates this summer.

Moroccan centre forward Chamakh said: “I have always wanted to play in the Premier League and any striker wants to meet that challenge and play in the league.

“I am prepared for a move even though I am completely focused on helping my current club. That is more important than my personal situation.

“It is not easy in England but the challenge in my career has always been to learn every day, keep improving and always help my club to success.”

[30stone]

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas: I've been lucky to escape serious injury
Cesc Fabregas accepts being physical is part of the English game, but feels he has been lucky to escape the type of serious injury suffered by team-mate Aaron Ramsey.



Ramsey, 19, fractured his right tibia and fibula in a challenge with Ryan Shawcross during the second half of Arsenal's 3-1 victory at Stoke last weekend.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger condemned the tackle as "horrendous and unacceptable" after seeing another of his players suffer an horrific injury.


Eduardo spent the best part of a year on the sidelines when his season was ended by a challenge from Birmingham defender Martin Taylor in 2008.

Midfielder Abou Diaby, who was sidelined for eight months with a broken ankle after a challenge from Sunderland's Dan Smith in May 2006, feels such incidents will continue unless the Arsenal players get more protection from referees.

Fabregas is often on the end of some robust challenges and believes the Gunners have to stand up to rough treatment from teams looking to knock them off their passing game.

"Everyone thinks 'We are playing Arsenal, we have to go in hard on them', and I have no problem with the contact game," the Arsenal captain said.

"If opponents think that is the best way for them to beat us, no problem, but when you put your foot half a metre high on someone's leg, that is not right.

"It is not the first time this season we have seen challenges like this, but until someone breaks their leg no-one speaks about it.

"It has happened twice to me this season and I was lucky I did not get badly injured.

"I am sure he [Shawcross] did not want to break Aaron's leg, but the tackle was dangerous. It was terrible.

"I am sure he wanted to win the ball, but when your foot is that high only he knows what he was trying to do."

Fabregas scored the opening goal in Arsenal's 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley yesterday, but was taken off before half-time with a hamstring problem and is now doubtful for the Champions League game with Porto on Tuesday night.

Though i would have liked to have seen him miss that and let it go as a goal.

Lol at carew just pushing that player over by backing into him..

Shame he didnt have the pace otherwise that would have been dangerous.

Milner young and downing usually can send a throughball in and agbonlahor will be on the end of it before the defenders.. carew and heskey arent quick enough.

[King Gizzard]

[King Gizzard]

John carew careww

[andyman]

Cheating Carew.. His foot touches the other players leg.. 6ft+ man flops to the ground.

Some things will never change.

[andyman]

C'mon Stoke!

[King Gizzard]

That just is payback cause his goal in the first half was onside :)

[30stone]

Was offside for me..

Either way we played well and were beaten..

Fair play to you, but we really did deserve something from that game.

[King Gizzard]

Hilario in goal for Chelsea :joker::joker:

Stoke will win

[King Gizzard]

[bbfan1991]

Glad that David Moyes is talking to LA Galaxy about keeping Landon Donovan longer for his loan deal as this next league game would have been his last under the current deal:). Permanent in the summer if both agree a fee then and it's well deserved as he's a talented player:thumbs:.

[Alf]

i love it when liverpool get beat, especially against sh*t like wigan
what a poor and boring team liverpool are.

[bbfan1991]

[andyman]

Bye bye Hull.. Back in Championship where they belong.. Dirty rats. :)

Scum Utd have to sell Rooney, that £712m debt aint going anywhere. :)

The Red Knights could save the club.

Wigan played very well and Liverpool were shocking.

[30stone]

Man utd need to set out their club like wenger has.. he is helping us make a profit..

Our debt was 600m when we brought the emirates.. now its just 203m

N'Zogbia is a class act by the way, but then again, anyone would look good when match up against Insua. That lad is a disaster.

[30stone]

Juventus want to swap Felipe Melo for Arsenal star Robin Van Persie after Arsenal declared their interest in the brazilian.

Melo is out of favour at Juve after falling out with players and coaching staff.
And is currently not playing in the first team as often as he would like..

Why would we sell our 2nd biggest star at Arsenal for a player who isnt even being played much ..?

Never would i make that swap.

[30stone]

N'Zogbia is a class act by the way, but then again, anyone would look good when match up against Insua. That lad is a disaster.

I remember even Bendtner was constantly getting the better of him..

Suppose being short he couldnt handle him, bendtner is so clumsy though and insua barely won a ball against him..

[30stone]

Uruguayan teenager Abel Hernandez is the latest player to be linked with a summer move to Arsenal after a report in Italy’s La Gazzetta Dello Sport claimed that the 19-year-old Palermo striker had been watched by scouts from the Premier League club.

Hernandez only moved to the Serie A outfit last summer but has earned plaudits for his performances this term with goals against Lazio, Inter Milan and Fiorentina. The Penarol protégé, who represented his homeland at last year’s Under-20 World Cup is thought to be frustrated by his lack of first team minutes and could be tempted to quit Italy should a formal approach be lodged by Arsenal.

The left-footed hitman has scored four goals in total this season and has been tipped for a bright future at the top of the game. It remains unclear whether Hernandez would risk a move to England and given the numerous attacking options at Arsene Wenger’s disposal the likelihood of a regular starting berth at Arsenal appears unlikely.

With Moroccan international Marouane Chamakh moving to the Gunners in the summer, Robin van Persie expected to be fit by the end of the season and the likes of Theo Walcott, Nicklas Bendtner, Carlos Vela and Eduardo all battling for time on the pitch, Hernandez may take his potential further afield.

[30stone]

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he could risk Cesc Fabregas against Porto despite him having a hamstring injury.
Fabregas suffered a recurrence of a previous hamstring injury against Burnley at the weekend and he is rated doubtful for Tuesday night's Champions League clash.

The Gunners have to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg and Wenger says he could take a risk on his star midfielder, who bagged his 14th goal of the season against the Clarets.

"I'm ready to take the gamble," said Wenger. "But if there is more than a 50 per cent chance of his hamstring going I will not take it.

"You look at the Fabregas numbers and they are amazing - 14 goals and 15 assists. He's a fantastic player with a fantastic attitude and commitment.

And what people forget, an unbelievable work-rate too.

"This season he has taken a big step forward, massive. At 22 years of age he has matured."

[30stone]

Arsenal centre-back William Gallas could quit the Premier League for a lucrative deal in Italy after former coach Claudio Ranieri paved the way for the Frenchman to join him at AS Roma.

Gallas has been in fine form this season alongside new Arsenal fan favourite Thomas Vermaelen but with the player’s contract ending this summer, the veteran is free to speak to possible suitors about a Bosman move at the end of the season.

It is understood that Arsene Wenger is keen to keep Gallas at the Emirates but with the Gunners sticking to their single year contract extension for players over thirty the former Chelsea man could look elsewhere for more stability in his final playing years.

Speaking about the Arsenal star and the speculation mounting in Italy that he could move to the Stadio Olimpico, Ranieri said this week.

“Gallas is a player who has achieved so much in his career.

“I signed him when I was in charge at Chelsea and he has done well both for them and Arsenal.

“He is a top-level player and all top players are welcome at Roma.”

Arsenal could also lose Philippe Senderos this summer with the player expected to complete a permanent deal with Everton, while questions over the long-term suitability of Johan Djourou remain following another injury ravaged season.

[30stone]

Theo Walcott is no stranger to scrutiny. An England World Cup call-up before he had tasted life as a Premier League footballer ensured that the media spotlight would be his constant companion. Yet the 20-year-old with the veteran's outlook has come to understand the rules of the game, in which extreme measures are the day-to-day norm. "The thing is I'm always the country's biggest hope or the country's biggest disappointment," he said.

The Arsenal winger ran the gamut again last week. Derided by the former England winger Chris Waddle after the Wembley friendly victory over Egypt for lacking a "football brain", Walcott bounced back with a match-winning turn against Burnley, which kept Arsenal's Premier League title hopes burning.

Having endured a nervous first half, pockmarked by poor touch and delivery, not to mention a contretemps with his marker Danny Fox, he thrilled after the interval, teeing up chances for Nicklas Bendtner and the substitute Andrey Arshavin, forcing Brian Jensen into a smart save and beating the Burnley goalkeeper with a low left-footed drive. Yes, left-footed.

"Crossing and my left foot are the two big things I have been working on lately," Walcott said. "I want to improve my left foot. Against Burnley, I came inside, saw it open up and I managed to score. Hopefully I can do that more often. I picked out Bendtner with a few crosses as well."

Had Walcott been aware of Waddle's criticism? "I heard what he said but I don't listen to people on the outside of football," he said. "I only listen to the people around me; the boss [Arsène Wenger], Mr Capello, my family and the people around me. I am very level headed and I keep my feet on the ground. I will forget about this performance now and try to kick on and improve on Tuesday [against Porto in the Champions League]. Maybe if I keep performing like that, it will shut people up."

[30stone]

Marouane Chamakh's move to Arsenal has finally been confirmed and the Bordeaux striker is reportedly relishing the new life that awaits him at the Emirates, not to mention the weekly wage of £50,000. "I have always wanted to play in the Premier League," Chamakh is quoted as saying, "and any striker wants to meet that challenge and play in the league... It is not easy in England but the challenge in my career has always been to learn every day, keep improving and always help my club to success."

According to the Mirror, the 26-year-old Moroccan will join the Gunners on a five-year deal at the end of the season when his contract with Bordeaux expires. "I am prepared for a move even though I am completely focused on helping my current club, " continued Chamakh, "that is more important than my personal situation." Chamakh gave Gunners fans a taste of what is in store when scored for Bordeaux at the weekend in their top-of-the-table clash with Montpellier (a game that finished 1-1). It was his eleventh goal of the season for the leaders of the French first division.

[setanta]

I remember even Bendtner was constantly getting the better of him..

Suppose being short he couldnt handle him, bendtner is so clumsy though and insua barely won a ball against him..

He's a joke. Everytime I see him I'm just bewildered at Benitez continuing to play him.

[30stone]

He does have some good games..

Hes quite good against like nasri.. lennon etc..

Hes quite quick and he has big build for his height..

But he does make quite a few mistakes..
Clichy makes loads of mistakes but insua makes him look flawless..

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas looks set to miss the Premier League match at Hull on Saturday as well as the Gunners clash with Porto in the Champions League tonight.

Fabregas was substituted in the first half of Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Burnley on Saturday with a recurrence of a hamstring injury.

The Spanish playmaker now looks likely to be unavailable to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger until the home match with West Ham on March 20, according to a report in The Times today.

Fabregas is quoted in The Sun today: "I wanted to play but the doctors recommended I rest and avoid any risk. I am sad to miss out because Porto is important to us. I will suffer far more than usual, having to watch from the side."

The Arsenal captain has been in irrepressible form in 2009/2010, scoring 17 goals and providing 12 assists in 32 appearances.


Well they got that a bit wrong.. he has 19 assists in all competitions 15 in the league..

Ipswich Town vs Cardiff tonight

sorry chels but come on you tractor boys

[30stone]

Juventus must attempt to land Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal according to Italian super agent Claudio Pasqualin.

Pasqualin, who has great links with the Old Lady and was once upon a time the agent of Alessandro Del Piero, has said Juventus need Fabregas if they are to become great again.

"I would say a dictator in the midfield is essential and such a player would correspond to Fabregas: young, but already an expert," Pasqualin told Tuttosport.

"Of course, buying Fabregas will not be easy, but there is no doubt the Spaniard is worth a try."

Fabregas has also been linked with former club Barcelona, as well as Real Madrid.



LOL
Fabregas to Juve?

[30stone]

Arsene Wenger is in no doubt that bringing Sol Campbell back to Arsenal was the right thing to do.

The former England international is expected to resume his defensive partnership with Thomas Vermaelen when the Gunners welcome Porto to the Emirates on Tuesday night for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

That will be the centre-back's fifth game of his second spell with the Gunners after leaving in 2006, and Wenger is convinced of the value of his shock January signing.

"It was unexpected that Sol would play so many games, but it is also good because I think it was the right decision to bring him back," Wenger told his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash with Porto.

"Sol is a guy who gives everything when he is on the pitch.

[30stone]

Arsene Wenger's decision to give Cesc Fabregas the Arsenal captaincy could be decisive in seeing off Barcelona's interest in the sublime midfielder.

The Catalans are planning a summer mega-bid for a player who left them and headed to England as a 16-year-old back in 2003.

Despite often sending mixed messages about his future, Fabregas insists he is happy at the Emirates Stadium, revealing his pride at taking over as skipper from William Gallas 15 months ago.

'I am very united with the club and the supporters,' said the 22-year-old. 'My role as captain has increased my commitment to Arsenal and I am happy there.

'I have been at Arsenal for many years but I don't see myself as the only leader. We are together as a team and I rely on my team-mates to help me be successful. I am no more important than my team-mates.'

[King Gizzard]

Cesc aint going anywhere apart from Barca

[30stone]

Exactly.

He will go Barca or he will stay here that is it..

Juve

If wenger is smart he will ask for 55m + for cesc.
