Arsenal have already offered their former captain Patrick Vieira a contract to return to the club in January.

The News of the World says Arsenal have offered the Inter Milan midfielder around £70,000-a-week to make the emotional return and act as an inspiration to the club's youngsters.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said: "Patrick was an amazing, fantastic player for us. For me, he is perfect for every team. We are very young and it is difficult to win with a young team."

Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas played the game of his life then said he is keen to stay at the club he loves. The Gunners captain made four goals, scored a scorcher himself and also struck the bar before going off to a standing ovation. He said: "There's always speculation I don't like it here but I am committed to this club 100 per cent."


The FA will decide whether to charge Sir Alex Ferguson with misconduct after the United manager accused referee Alan Wiley of being physically unfit following the 2-2 draw against Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday.

A deal has been arranged in principle for troubled Portsmouth owner Sulaiman al-Fahim to sell the club on to Ali al-Faraj, the Saudi tycoon who has agreed to provide a £5 million emergency loan to cover the players’ wages for September and keep the club solvent for a month.

Arsenal are now 4th.
Liverpool 5th
City 6th.
All on 15 points.

City have a game in hand over us though and we have 1 over liverpool.
So city have 2 over liverpool.

And our goal difference is the best.





And i think this will be Fabregas' best season at Arsenal, and hopefully not his last.

man city are your rivals, dont know about us lol


I gave up hope the minute heskey came on

****ing england game is only on the internet and you have to pay for a 5er


Pathetic

True its total BS! Football if not watched at the ground should be on TV.. Hope this is a rare thing.

Plus i hope sky never get the world cup.. That would be dark times.

****ing ridiculous i hope basically no one watches it!

They should have offered it to BBc ITV and sky at a lower price than setanta payed.

The game will be a flop anyway..


top film on ITV!

Its stupid.

We have already qualified so the game means nothing..
Id watch if it was on but since its not **** it.

And...there is a limit of 1million spaces.. to watch the game


FFS!

I hope there are riots in london :joker: Millions of drunken men demanding football, I would join them if i could!!

Its good, as there is less pressure on you to win it

What d'ya mean Nate?

If people keep tipping chelsea and man u to be the top 2, then you can sneakily go about your business, with less pressure from the media and other people/fans

Thats a good point, but i think if we were to get into second position by january there would be a big hype about us winning since we havent for so long.

Could be a good season especially with the form of this man...
