19 Jul

Arsenal's 1st match will play away at Anfield against Liverpool on 15 august.. what's the latest news ?

The players will be gone ..

- Gallas , Silvestre , and possibly Sol Campbell.

Obvisouly Gallas and Silvestre are going to join other clubs and Sol Campbell seems not yet making up his mind where to play next season..

The players are missing ..

Almunia , Eduardo , Denilson .

It seems Almunia and Eduardo will leave the club sooner as both of them did not play in the 1st warm up match against Barnet , while Denilson has not been mentioned what's going on with him. It's very interesting to see who will be the new no.1 Keeper .

The players are joining..

Chamakh , Koscielny

We have seen Chamakh in last term of CL when he played for Bordeaux , his header is quite impressive.. Koscielny - unknown french central defender and he reminded me the other french central defender : Grimandi , now a football scout working for Wenger. I wish he can adapt the physical encounter in PL as he looks quite slim..

A new look of home/away kit..

http://onlinestore.arsenal.com/

The new home and away kit is much traditional, Arsenalized and better than those in last 2 years.. the last home kit of 2008-2010 was the most failed design and distorted the actual colour of Arsenal jersey.. This new traditional one is more welcome..

What's next ?

As there is a total of 25 players which including 8 home grown players need to be registered in the coming season .. It will be interesting to find out which 8 Home grown players in the squad.

It doesn't matter whether those home grown players are trained by the same club , as long as they have been registered in English and Welsh FA for 3 years before their age turning to 21 , then they will be qualifed.. will this new regulation work out ? who will get the advantage ? The effect will not be immediate and we will only see the difference of those young supporting players in the mid-season onwards.. will Arsenal be the one to get the edge on this front ?

I don't know. Lets see whether Jack Wilshere will play more regularly , lets see if Eastmond, or Lansbury can breakthrough the senior squad .. we will find out in the coming Emirates Cup on 31 july/1st aug.

hi Persie..

Almunia should be gone in any case this season, I can't find any reason he can stay . NO team will include 4 keepers out of 25 players squad although Szeceshy can be excluded in those 25 players.... Fabianski need to compete with another 2 young keepers Mannoe and Szczeshy if no new keeper coming.. personally will prefer to try Szczeshy as our New NO.1 if Wenger don't buy another.

Wilshere and Lansbury should play this coming weekend so it's a good chance to watch out .. We need some English gradient in the team.

I still believe in Cesc who will bring us a trophy this season..even it maybe his last season..

Persie 2010/07/24 21:56:40 回覆

I think Almunia is definitely better than Fabianski by far. I cannot accept seeing Fabianski as our No 1 goalkeeper.

Wilshire is a talent, just don’t over-pressurize him. I believe Lansbury has a great future.

Looks like we will keep Cesc for one more season?

Is his heart with Arsenal?

Wilshere and Szczesny give Arsenal far more authority and guts

By Myles Palmer

Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1

Villa 26, Van Persie 78, Arshavin 83

____________________________

The key player in the Nou Camp will be Szczesny.

So pray that nothing happens to Arsenal’s goalkeeper between now and Tuesday, March 8th.

Barcelona’s style is cleverly-timed runs onto sharp little passes, which ｃｒｅａｔｅs a lot of one-on-one chances with the keeper.

Wojciech Szczesny’s fine positional judgement makes him a master of making opponents shoot into the side-netting or just past the post.

On the goal, he was a bit unlucky because David Villa, a razor finisher in these situations, slotted between his legs.

By contrast, he got lucky on the loose ball after his save, when the scrambling Messi headed in but was flagged offside. Messi wasn't offside.

For me, Szczesny was Arsenal’s best player last night for that reason. Making Messi miss was the name of the game.

Yes, Koscielny played his finest game in an Arsenal shirt.

Yes, Jack Wilshere played with remarkable authority at the heart of the team. England need to play Jack football, Fabio - not Capello football.

Yes, of course, CL knock-out ties are a game of four halves.

Arsenal lost the first half 1-0 and won the second half 2-0 and halves three and four will roll round 20 days from now.

Arsenal raised their tempo after half-time and the game turned on 68 when Keita and Arshavin came on.

Keita replaced Villa to stiffen Barca's midfield, which was running out of steam, and allowed young Busquets to go ball-hunting further up the field.

Arshavin’s arrival (for Song) allowed him to link in a cool manner with Clichy, who played a killer ball forward into the box with his right-foot and gave Van Persie a chance to hit a mighty left-foot shot on the half- volley inside the near post of Victor Valdes for 1-1.

Valdes has always had flaky moments. That blunder by allowed Arsenal back into a game that Barcelona were still playing mostly in Arsenal's half.

Still, defending deeper can be good. You can only counter-attack if your opponents are in your half of the field. You can attack too much in a game. If you attack less, you often score more.

Frankly, Fabregas, Eboue and Walcott had been crap.

All three played crap. Only a blinkered, badge-kissing nincompoop would say any of those three played well last night.

Arsenal had nothing on the right flank but now, suddenly, that was where the winning goal came from after a fabulous move.

The cool Koscielny picked up the ball in his penalty area, passed to Bendtner, who passed infield to Wilshere, then quickly forward to Fabregas, who instantly released Nasri with a superb ball down the right flank.

Nasri could have tried the obvious with a low cross to the far post but chose instead to play a lovely pass which allowed Arshavin to curl his sidefoot shot behind Abidal and into the net from 15 yards.

That quality goal gave Arsenal their first victory against Barcelona and it set the seal on the pulsating, rocking, thrilling night that the Emirates has needed since 2006.

Sporting Gijon was a factor last night because game was much harder than the Wolves game was for Arsenal .

After two and half years of staggering success, and intensifying pressure, Barcelona are showing signs of burn-out, so Pep has to husband his resources very carefully.

Coming back off an international break, which is mostly where Barcelona ｄｒｏｐ their points, he conceded an early goal at Gijon in a game that was very passionate, intense and physical, since Gijon are fighting for their lives just above the drop-zone.

I was really enjoying the game but as the second half went on I was thinking : This is taking a lot out of Barcelona !

Indeed, it was a helluva battle that was taking a lot out of both sides.

Just as the commentators began to say that David Villa was about to be taken off, he glided onto a wonder-pass from Messi and chipped the keeper from the edge of the box and it finished 1-1.

Success brings a heavy schedule.

The more games you win, the more the pressure is on you. To handle that you need character and guts. Wilshere and Szczesny have given the team a lot more personality and authority than it had last year.

Big characters, big difference.

As Rufus Thomas said, age ain’t nothin’ but a number.
