Danny Rose (toe), Sandro (hamstring), Zeki Fryers (groin) and Emmanuel Adebayor (foot) are all likely to miss out.

This made me laugh.

Apparently, Adebayor - a player who have yet to feature for us in any shape, manner or form, having not even been in the running for a cup or league game - is likely to miss out on our game against the Toon.

Now, there's a surprise!

Is he injured? <laugh>

good effort trying for some sensible debate <rofl>

Arsenal's squad does actually have depth, but they were ravaged by injuries preseason. To their credit, they came through that.
I still think more than Kos the one they can't let get injured is Giroud. They don't have another out-and-out striker unless you include Bendtner. Podolski could do the job but he's not as good in the role as Giroud.

Yeah..I like a good wind up, actually. But the ones we get from fans of other teams...

Anyway, lately I've been thinking Arsenal may need their first string defenders more than they need Giroud. Their midfielders have been scoring, and their defenders have to be able to handle open games and protect Szszsz.
 
I can just see Wenger laying in bed at night wondering whats going right this year?
Am I a genius,he thinks?Can I take over from HIM as the "Special One" or will I wake up Monday and realize it was all a nice dream......
 
Manchester United boss David Moyes has claimed that he was close to signing Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, 22, during his time as manager Everton.

Hm. Sounds like some early tapping-up, to me. It'll be interesting to see if United make a big money move for Ramsey in January.

He really has been settling into the role of Man Utd manager recently, hasn't he? Bacon Face regularly did the same before big games as well.
 
Emotional day for Mourinho & Clarke

Chelsea v West Brom (1500 GMT)

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on taking on his former assistant Steve Clarke: "It will be strange feeling during the match. You try to forget but you can't forget completely. In the end we want to do our jobs well, we want our teams to win and that is our job.

On his second stint as Chelsea boss: "In many things it is the same, a couple of things are different. My team is not here any more, only a few of my former players so it is like being at the club for the first time.

"Chelsea is in my heart as everybody knows. It is much more than a job. My nature, the nature of Mr Abramovich and the nature of the club is to win things, but at the same time we are trying to enjoy it and play good football."

There will be man love, the finest black country wine, while they look back at their time together under the roman empire.
 
Saints doing what we (supposedly the better of the two teams) could not do on either of two recent occasions, which is taking Hull apart.
 
No doubt the pundits will be restarting their 'Liverpool for the title' discussions after their demolition of a very poor Fulham. How have Liverpool done against Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, Southampton, Everton and Man United? These are arguably the teams they need to beat in order to make CL. Well they beat Man United, lost against Southampton and Arsenal, and haven't even played the rest. I guess that is the sort of perspective than you are never going to get from those red tinted spectacles of the pundits!

NB go West Brom! I wonder what dodgy decision or bit of luck Chelski are going to need in that game?

Do you? We only beat two of those supposed big teams last season (Liverpool and Spurs) and still made the CL. If Liverpool continue to slaughter the **** teams in the league and pick up the odd result against the big teams, then they are going to be very close to the top four.
 
Look at Chelsea against West Brom. They are struggling to beat the Baggies at home, a team that Liverpool destroyed a few weeks back.
