Dr Kitaun:

Take 7. . .against W/BROM, ao do we cope without FAB, SONG, CHAMAK? Pls put in consideration d status of dose wit knocks

Chamakh won't be out now, he has a week of rest to recover in time for next week and I don't think he copped any injury now did he? anyway, Bendtner and RVP will soon be back and if push comes to shove we can play JET.  

Take 9 . . .is there sumtin going on with ALUMIMA abi na alumni ? when and how did he lose his vice-captainship?

He that hath an ear, let him hear. Austerity measures now in place at Chelsea.

Its actually a good thing we are playing WBA at home and not some tough home or away game (all due respect to Odemwingie and WBA).

Denilson did well when he came in today and I expect him to take Song's position against WBA. If Rosicky can play the same level he displayed in his early2/3 games of the season, we won't miss Cesc too much in that game. As for Chamakh, I pray he is fit both for the WBA game and in the long term. We can't afford to lose another striker.

I'm looking forward to the wednesday game against Spurs. Looking forward to seeing how JET will cope with playing top flight football.
I had expected AW to bench Jack Wilshere today so as to play him against Spurs after playing 90 mins against Braga. But as it is, maybe we'l see some experience against Spurs in form of Rosicky and Vermallen.

I am not sure the CC game will count as a missed match. I think he has to miss one EPL match.Not sure though

The earliest return date for Verminator is against Westbrom.

Of course it does now. . . . or is there a new rule?Someone please shed some light.

Kit,
Not sure if you are in naija now and watch these matches on SSN,what's your take on those buffons(bull and Ikpeda) and their analysis?

Song misses only one match. . . . .and that 'll be the Carling Cup.

Ikpeba just cracks me up mahn. Penayity . Those cable providers just want us to get both dishes sha! The good analysts are on HI-TV and the good quality coverage is on DSTV its a darn shame

De Bull's own was even worse than Ikpeba.
Every sentence contained as at my last count. . . 6 "you know"  , I mean. .if grammar too hard, speak PIDGIN na! the guy just dey kalolo anyhow.
It even angered me the more 

@ritch
You know Eboue, this is nothing 

Ikpeba is worse! how can a graduate of Yabatech be talking like he never went to schl ? even our own TOBA would do beta

Hahahahah see as una dey finish former african footballer of the year.

I think amokachi is an arsenal fan. The draw pain am sef.

Notwithstanding as a coach he does have some insight. Ikpedia should just quit football altogether. 'The mash was a difficult game'. Lol

And for suspensions all domestic games count. Cc, epl, pfl.

Back to Arsenal matters.

Someone suggested somewhere that considering Clichy's frailties in recent times, Vermallen should be moved to left back and we continue with the Kos and Squillachi CB pairing. I think this will be excellent since this won't be a new role for Verms (he played LB for Ajax in many games).

What do you guys think?

i think that would be suicidal. Puttin all our good defenders on the fields with no competent subs. if there is an injury,who will b th sub? tho i tink clichy should be rested cos his performances hs been below par and Gibbs is good.

So Berbatov culd do a hattrick in manure colours,wonders, Liverpool is shiiit

Last post I meant fa* cup.
We have 2 good left backs, why do all this shifting around. Clichy might av a few mistakes in him but he's been putiing in a good shift. Folks need to be careful so they dnt turn clichy to the almunia of this season.

Well with Arsenal where players get injured even on the reserves bench, I'm not too worried as per the injury side. Firstly If we have Sagna, Kos, Squill, Verm on the field and one of them gets injured we can always reshuffle and bring on Clichy/Gibbs.

The suggestion appealed to me when I read it on arsenalmania cos against Sunderland, we coped very well with all the forrays for over 60 minutes until Clichy's mistake. Im in no way blaming him but I think that the coming of Kos and Squill has tightened our back line and if there is any weak link, we should do something about it.

Games like yesterday's come once or twice in a season and its good we didn't lose. United, Chelsea will also have their off days. How they handle it is up to them. I also think AW sticking to the same team that played the CL game on wednesday contributed to the lack lustre performance.

Anyways, Clichy needs to step up defensively. I understand that Arshavin's defensive (in)abilities is not helping matters but its no excuse. I hope the last game was a one off.

Now next game please!

Clichy is a good player, no doubt but he's been making mistakes that have unfortunately cost the team points.
Im in no way suggesting it as a permanent move, I just think he needs some jolting, something to kick him up his behind to help step up his game. And I don't think Gibbs is that player yet especially not when he has to face Malouda, Drogba, and the likes.

Clichy needs a wake up call. Soon, he maybe nicknamed calamity clichy if he continue this way. Where is MrCrackles

Clichy this, Clichy that. . .He didn't miss the penayity now, did he?

Fab might just miss the game against the Spuds, Song? Let's see how Wenger pulls this one off. Chamahk needs some time off, let Jet and Vela play upfront with Nasri/Rozzi/Arshavin on the flanks.

Nothing spoil. It's the red&white army B*****

I no know why some of our players dey always get comma, Clichy is a committed player who will almost die on the pitch for Arsenal but he is no longer a small boy and should be one of those the others look to for confidence how can an unknown Elmohammadu (abi na wetin be him name) be making him look so poor? 
Compare his performance yesterday with Sagna's assured performance? he no dey look Evra? 
If he continues like this, he will give those hard core briticos like Myles Palmer the ammo to pile pressure on Arsene to put Gibbs in at his expense.

On point duduspace with Clichy. His performance on Sat was obviously mediocre from start to finish.

Though, drawing the match was not his fault but am expecting an improve performances from him.

Maybe, Clichy and Evra are hanging out together lately
