Nasri Be Back, Wilshere Set To React.

He is going to make it, such strong young player with great determination character always fight for the best for his team.

We lost Nasri as bad as when we lost Vermaelen, but high five for the gunners who still manage to endure from one match to another with dignity.

When Fabregas still nursing his injury before, then the recovery, it was not an easy task for him to get back on his feet instantly where part of his mentality were extremely damage too.

This is part of experiences which had been following the players who has been injured and the feelings not to repeat the injury always disturbing their performances.

We are bit lucky during our captain up and down forms, Nasri was perfectly in top forms to carry out his duty and took over his place with pride.

Nasri is totally down for now where Denilson would face the same fate and we are expecting at least three weeks for them to be back with the squad.

Once again we have falls behind through injuries, where we have lost two midfield player.That's mean Fabregas, Wilshere and Song had a very big task on their shoulder to maintain our perfect run for this time being.

Besides that Diaby and Rosicky are still available and both of them need to give full support in order to strengthen our squad performances.

We have seen the fabulous four efficiency in communicating with each other throughout the whole campaign till now.

And most important these players can read well with each other in order to gain control in the midfield and keep the game going according to our plan.

Great performances by Fabregas would be an advantage as he really get his hands with full of confidence in every game.

His high quality leadership would be a massive weapons for him to guide his team mate throughout the season.

Diaby had a good run in the midfield, but lack of confidence used to see him losing the ball at the edge of penalty box or being selfish for neglecting the existence of his team mate who is capable to sort out better option in our attacking attempts.

Physically, Diaby looks too weak when being confront by the opponents and that particular character is exposing his own weaknesses.

Arshavin slowly pick up his forms and his latest forms against Huddersfield revealing his determination where he need to double up his efforts so he can cope up more efficient with his team mate. Still not convincing with his performance and he might lose his place to the other players.

Bendtner always looks dangerous, his way of playing composure need to be beef up a bit more and his capability to score a goal would not do much good if his personal contribution as a whole does not helps Arsenal to win at the end of the match.

However, we still have a very strong front line with Bendtner, Chamakh, Van Persie, Arshavin and Walcott. Right now, I will not going to talk more about our defenders as what being clearly shown by Koncielny, Squillaci, Sagna, Eboue, Clichy, Djourou and Gibbs, we are still look very tough at the back base on last five matches where we only concede 2 (with 3 clean sheet) and scored 14.

It's my turn, which you will never forget....about it.

Without Nasri, I have a very high expectation on Wilshere. This is the perfect time for him as Nasri will be out for quite sometimes and his opportunity to reestablished his perfect run in the midfield is widely open for now.

His performance quite outstanding, good team work, he read the game very well, communicate efficiently and his skills generate more power to compete effectively in every match.

One good thing about Arsenal throughout this campaign, when one goes down there is always another player on the rise to recapture the lost.

This is what Wilshere need to do and his efforts to fill up that gap are going to add up more added value towards our performance wise.

Wilshere, I presume to be young but old enough to handle such important task and nevertheless he is quite capable in executing the tall order.

The way our young players reacting upon missing one of their team mate are quite amazing too, suddenly you never know one of them is able to recover that gap.

We will not be able to put ourselves in second position in the premier league, going to the final of the Carling Cup, still being one of the contenders to win the FA Cup and Champions League yet another major title for us.

Our players are holdings the keys of success where no one would ever thought we had been enduring until up to this stage of the competition.

Everyone do acknowledged how big the impact which Nasri had been contribute towards Arsenal as a whole. Do you think Arsenal will be a bit shaky without Nasri?

But that factor will not going to hold us up to marched on, Wenger are not going to buy any new players and his best option would see some of our loanees will be call back to the Emirates.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Aaron Ramsey (both Cardiff), Craig Eastmond (Millwall), Carlos Vela (West Brom) and Henri Lansbury (Norwich) involved in recent short-term deals.

As for now, Wilshere is becoming our future generation to boost our dreams and his consistency will leads us for more excellence results. Next match..........bring on Everton.

Everton are always look dangerous where they had the highest numbers of matches which ends with a draw.

And they are very good in reducing your overall points tally or even defeating you in which will damage your chances to regain the title.

Wilshere did not need any introduction anymore, the promising England future star had everything to be proud of and times perfectly set for him to run the show.

Injured Nasri in the headlines as the gunners march on.

Squillaci sees red and most concerns is with Nasri who pick up hamstring injury.

We won the match in The FA Cup tie against Huddersfield, but to lose another key player was another blow towards our Champions League campaign.

However, we still can't identified the seriousness of his hamstring injury.

Wenger had said that it could be up to three weeks to recover, but it all depends on the final medical report.

Arsenal starts the game with Almunia and Squillaci are back after long injury. The rest of the line up are Eboue, Gibbs, Koncielny, Diaby, Arshavin, Nasri, Bendtner and Chamakh.

Still not at his best but keep going.....
Image : arsenal.com

Bendtner broke the deadlock in the 21 minutes, Bendtner got clear on the right and his shot took a deflection from a covering defender Peter Clarke before looping over Bennett.

As we entered in the 32 minutes, Nasri who was chasing a ball over the top and then went down.

It's probably a hamstring and it's all depends on how severe the strain is. He is out of the game and Rosicky took his place.

It is learned that, Wenger had to gamble with Nasri due to Rosicky sickness.

As the game went on, Squillaci was sent off for professional foul by Mark Clattenburg the referee.

off he goes within three minutes at the end of the first half and what a setback for Arsenal.

We could expect more attempt from Huddersfield in the second half as Arsenal playing with 10 men.

As the second half going to start, Arsenal berings on Song for Chamakh to fill up the gap after Squillaci was sent off in the first half.

What a day for Squillaci who just going to start his first match after injury and that red card could mean he will be out for three match suspension.

However, the punishment from Mark Clattenburg are a bit too harsh and we will able to see more surprising decision by the referee right in the second half.

Huddersfiled had an advantage from 10 men Arsenal as they mount the pressure for an equaliser to get back into the game.

From a corner kick in the 66 minutes, Alan Lee heads past Almunia to make it 1 - 1. They are back in business and this could be their day as Arsenal struggles with 10 men.

Arsenal need to win this match and trying to avoid extra game, Fabregas was brought in to replace Diaby in the 69 minutes.

What a relief, hopefully our captain already had something in his mind before coming in to the field.

well, let's see what Fabregas could do in the last 25 minutes and hopefully he will create something which Arsenal would walkaway with a slim win.

As we entered the last five minutes of the match, Bendtner was brought down inside the penalty box by McCombe.

Surprisingly it was only yellow card flashed by the referee and that was another surprise decision that I am talking about earlier.

However, Fabregas did his job well outwitted Bennett and slid the ball low into the net.

Arsenal lead 2 - 1 as the game nearly comes to an end and Huddersfield had only about five minutes to get back again into the game.

Huddersfield had a good chance in the 87 minutes where Robert took the free kick but it just curls over the bar.

Four minutes of added time, hope we can hold on to this as Huddersfield seems not going to sit around.

That's it, Fabregas really had something to cheers us up and Arsenal goes through in the last 16.

This is just great for us and most important we won even though with 10 men and frankly talking that we are not good tonight but come out with a lucky escape to move on into the next stage of the FA Cup.

Till we meet again on 1st February against Everton in the premier league match at the Emirates.

Walcott Showing Capello His Way Of Playing Football

Last world cup in Africa are still fresh in my mind and what had been annoying me till now is when Capello dropped Walcott from the England's squad.

I was 100% sure at that time where Capello was making his biggest ever mistakes for England.

When the premier league begins in August last year, Walcott scored his first hat-trick for Arsenal against Blackpool. My frustration with what been happening to Walcott in the last world cup slowly disappearing from my mind.

As being one of the best managers in the world, he should shame with himself at the first place.

Latest confession by Capello , 'CAPELLO: I WAS WRONG ON THEO WALCOTT' reminds me with one of my previous post which relating to this subject.

My dreams to watch Walcott in 2010 was never comes true, perhaps Wilshere in 2014 World Cup in Russia would be more interesting.

Even though, I can't hide my frustration with it but one of my memorable post about Walcott always remind me with the man so called Capello who does not believe with young players capabilities.

This post was specially dedicated to Theo Walcott and hope you like it, Gunner's Corner : Walcott Showing Capello His Way Of Playing Football.

Fabregas leadership and his famous battle against Ipswich

What you need is a great and brave leader to win every battle in this premier league, Fabregas had an outstanding character to lead all the charges for Arsenal.

He will lead Arsenal for more glories.
Image : top-footballer.com

The Carling Cup semifinals against Ipswich was not an easy win for us, they hold up till to the end of the first half really make most of us felt uneasy with the outcome of the game.

From the beginning of the match, Ipswich players are more interested to run down Fabregas throughout the match.

This is why Fabregas said that the way they played in the first leg much more like a rugby team.

Ipswich could win the game and move to Wembley for the final if they kept their mind on the game, but that situation had lost once they intend to drive the bus and run down Fabregas.

If Delaney and his team mate was smart enough to stay focus with their real intention to play defensively, then the bus would be still there in front of them.

With great determination to keep Arsenal from scoring was all over them and with another 45 minutes to go is all what they have to deal with.

Just imagine how many fouls that they had concede against Fabregas and I was feeling worried about our captain will be getting injured again.

However, Fabregas successfully in avoiding numerous of tackles whenever he led the threat towards Ipswich defense.

Ipswich was on top of the world when they lead 1 - 0 aggregate from the first leg match and the idea to win the second leg match at the Emirates, well they need more than miracle to do that.

The chances of winning if scoreless match comes to an end will be a big achievement and where most of Arsenal fans are expecting Ipswich will be defending most of their time.

They get angry when Fabregas called them 'Rugby Team", and Fabregas are correct with what he said.

But what they did to Fabregas throughout the match slowly driven their entire plans into chaos. That is when Ipswich comes with an idea to drive their bus and tries to run down Fabregas, while at the same time leaving their space wide open for Bendtner to score.

Things becoming more confusing with most of Ipswich players had lost their sight with the game.

Second goal in just after two minutes later saw Delaney and McAuley could not move their bus back to the parking space.

Fabregas had his maximum high fitness level with him in this match, all I can say Ipswich players are all over to chase over him.

Ipswich players seems to set their target to bring Fabregas down to earth but with Wilshere running the whole pitch freely rocked their line up with more problems.

The negative approached in their mind once again punished by Fabregas with the third goal where Arsenal sealed their place to play in the Wembley.

Three goal within 16 minutes was all what Arsenal need to outclassed Ipswich and knock them out from the competition.

Arsenal are very interesting team to play with and Ipswich could win the match in style if they try to play football decently.

Since they opt to play defensively, Arsenal are putting more speeds with their short passing where most of the times Arsenal succeeded to enter in their box.

With Arsenal becoming more stronger from the left and right flank, our midfield easily move forward to mount the pressure.

That is when Wilshere becoming more aggressive in the center to navigate his passing to all of our players on the field.

Ipswich totally lost in the midfield after we scored the first goal where from there on, they kept busy defending with most of their players flooding their own half.

But I am quite sure they have lost to Fabregas instead of Arsenal in this match and our captain was a pure outstanding leader.

His counter attack with such words after the first leg match makes a lot of different towards the second leg at the Emirates.

His leadership really shown how a good leader would react in facing with their enemy in a true war and his words had deepen Ipswich wound in the battle of Carling Cup's of glory.

Long Gone Glorious Feelings Are BACK!

Two players that been haunting us relating to their performances has been back with styles.

Wenger's believes in Arshavin and Bendtner still could make an impact to the squad finally been paid as both of then plays a crucial part winning match against Ipswich Town.

Wenger never stops trying to get his players to get on their feet and tonight we saw he succeed with Arshavin, Bendtner and Eboue gives their best shot.

Finally and finally we are in the final of the Carling Cup and what a joy, even some of the fans cries with tears of happiness at the end of the match last night.

I could not help myself either as the final whistle was blown and what an atmosphere which been missing for so long, and the day of glory at last surrounding all of us again.

The dark clouds that has been covering Emirates skies for nearly six years has been moving away, even without a sun and the night at the Emirates looks so bright now.

I was expecting the same squad that played against Leeds United will be in the line up, but Arsene Wenger deeply still believes that most of our players are still had their classic value to turn the match with superb 3 - 0 win.

Nasri, Walcott and Song was not in the line up but Fabregas, Wilshere and Van Persie had their strong influence to move the game around very well.

We have been hit by another injury on Sagna in the first half, but Eboue did not disappoint me tonight and every one really put their hearts on Arsenal tonight.

Scoreless in the first half and that bad sense of feeling is on the rise to all of us. Van Persie was a bit unlucky in the first half where his efforts almost give Arsenal the lead in the forth minutes.

His header knock off the post bar in the 22 minutes, his final touch past Fulop but Gareth McAuley was at the right time to clear the ball away in front of the goal in the 29 minutes.

How long more we need to wait for the fist goal? It's getting desperate now for Arsenal but the players keep their cool and stay focus with the game.

He is staying put at the Emirates.
Image : arsenal.com

We really need that kind of character and attitude for now, and GOALLLL!!!!, here we are with Bendtner scores the first goal in the 61 minutes.




Arsenal had leveled the aggregate, Wilshere long ball reached to Bendtner which he took perfectly and curls past Fulop at the right corner of the goal post.

ROARING!!!! Arsenal fans reaction in the Emirates suddenly change our feelings and the players are shifting their gears with mounting of efforts for the second goal.

This moments and his goal will be forever in his mind.
Image : arsenal.com

It was not long after that, Koncielny stamps his precious moment in his life to head in from the corner which been taken by Arshavin.




It's 2 - 0 right in the 63 minutes, we are just a few steps away from Wembley, OMG!!! Is this true?

The fans, supporters are starting to sing more louder and louder now and you just can't imagine what a feeling it was.

The gunners seems not going to falls back after the second goal and their are going all out to kill off this game.

We will never hide our faces anymore after this.....
Image : arsenal.com

The proud moment will sure comes for more around the Emirates and GOALL!!!!, the captain at last sealed the game off and game over for Ipswich.




Fabregas runs with a counter attack and found Arshavin, it was a great reply from Arshavin who flick the ball back to Fabreags who shot at a narrow angle to make it 3 - 0.

We really rocked the stadium and Fabregas goal's had secured our place to the final.

Ipswich might park anything at the Emirates but sadly they really can't hold up Arsenal for winning this match.

Walcott and Nasri are on the field into the last five minutes of the match, the crowds are beginning to be noisy and louder towards the end of the match.

That's it as the final whistle by Mark Halsey sees Arsenal flying high to the Wembley as a favorites to win the Carling Cup.

WE ARE IN THE FINAL!!!!!!!!! Our dreams has comes true at last and what a moment to celebrates, it's nearly 6.00 am in Malaysia now and all those sleepy feelings has been gone and I might not able to sleep anyway.

We did it and all the fans, supporters and gooners are falls speechless with this moments. Nothing more to say, just book the ticket for the final match right after this match.....sooooooooo proud and we deserved to lift this trophy at the Wembley.

Fabregas, Nasri, Van Persie.....Game Over.

If Damien Delaney had his Mourinho's instinct to hold on with their lead, then Wenger had better experiences in towing out the bus away which been parked illegally from our parking space.

Ipswich Town defender Damien Delaney said, "we will go and park the bus in front of the goal at the Emirates, like Jose Mourinho said".

I would say, Ipswich Town should consider themselves to go all out to break down the gunners instead of being defensive.

With almost 30,000 of audience fill up the stadium at Portman Road in our last meetings, Arsenal will add up another half of that capacity in order to push off their bus upside down from the Emirates parking space.

Delaney might work hard in this coming meetings and perhaps he should asked more from Mourinho in case if the bus broke down in the middle of the field.

So far Wenger haven't issued any statement yet in which would be considered to pass some fears factor towards them.

But we have heard about their plans days before our second leg Carling Cup semifinal meeting at the Emirates.

We have knocked out our opponents one by one, we have deal with more efficient how to encounter our failure, we had send the message with evidences to proved our concerns and finally those who had acknowledged about it will stand back to gives ways for us to go through.

Arsenal had earlier eliminated their juniors out from the FA Youth Cup last Saturday and I presumed we had moved the bus to the appropriate parking space during their visits to the Emirates tomorrow.

Let's play football and it would be more interesting even though you might know Ipswich will never going to win at the Emirates.

Paul Jewell had a limited time to success in this Carling Cup encounter and do not expect much from him to deliver a positive result.

"We are Arsenal and believe we can beat anybody." - Szczesny

In Arsenal, we had Szczesny who will be the last person that Ipswich Town need to beat or he will be singing and dancing throughout the whole match as he did against Wigan.

We probably not too ambitious with the starting eleven line up tomorrow, but pretty sure it will be the best ever first eleven who had the most sharpest sight to perfectly execute the task accordingly.

I don't want to play a guessing game with Wenger in this match, but tactically we would see Arsenal is going to control the game a bit more deeper than the previous match that we had at the Portman Road.

Ipswich's long ball and  Arsenal's creative short passes, will be put on show again in this match.

And Paul Jewell better get ready to count accurately numbers of passes he had to deal with in order to stop Arsenal from winning that match.

Fabregas, Nasri and Van Persie, I have a thought that we are a bit harsh with  our treatment hospitality towards Ipswich Town in this match.

Hope it would be comes true if three of them in the line up, but the gunners are damn serious to seal off this match much more earlier from the one that we had against Leeds United.

However, these three key players would be perfect to end up the match successfully and it's a game over for Ipswich Town.

Once again Szczesny can't help himself to shut up, and his statement a bit more stern to warned their opponents about who we are.

"We have a team from the Championship coming to the Emirates and they probably won't fancy it too much, but we fancy our chances and are confident we will go through," the young Pole said.

Last meetings, Ipswich had gone after us individually but in this coming match we are going to get nearer and deal with each of their players to break the deadlock.

However, the mystery surrounding with our first eleven for this match does not concerns much to us where Szczesny had an earlier winning thought to serves our hope for the first silverware in the making into reality.

Everyone had coming out with their prediction, probable line up, effective formations, tactical preview and the winning scoreline to live up this match as one of the biggest game of the season.

Here we go again with a final step to ensure our attendance at Wembley goes perfectly with our plans. If you are not in the stadium, make sure to switch on your tv set and book your live streaming channels right on time for the match.

The excitement has just begun, here are the probable players who will be in the Arsenal squad for this match.

Arsenal : Szczesny, Gibbs, Miquel, Koscielny, Eboue, Arshavin, Denilson, Song, Wilshere, Chamakh, Bendtner, Shea, Sagna, Clichy, Walcott, Nasri, Van Persie, Fabregas, Djourou.

ArsenaLKorneR - Revealing The Truth

Used to be he will get what he wants, then premier league try to guess who would invite him and now he wants more and more premier league stars to be more interested to him.

Is he getting bored with La Liga?

Spit it out........
Image : futbolmail.com

The one and only person in this planet who called himself a special one are in the headlines almost every week.

The main future wreckage towards his career with Real Madrid could be because of this matter :

Mourinho has been keen to bring in an extra striker as cover for the injured Gonzalo Higuaín, but so far the club hierarchy have resisted entering the January transfer market.

Some how and why he is not getting what he used to be with his desire being denied surely make him disappointed.

Almost in every clubs that he had been managing will considered his demand and most of it will be fulfill with accordingly.

Another six more days before the January transfer windows close it's curtains, Luka Modric, Didier Drogba and Gareth Bale was the latest short list in his shopping list.

So far, he failed to bring on Emmanuel Adebayor due to reliable sources which indicate City demanded a 15 million-pound transfer fee.

If you look at the City's price tag, logically he should have Adebayor in his squad by now.

Luka Modric and Gareth Bale would cost around 100 million-pound and compare to 15 million-pound for Adebayor, I would say this is another rubbish talks from Mourinho.

He even can say good bye to Drogba where the possibility to drag such player out from Stamford Bridge would be a jokes when Chelsea need such player to gain their momentum back at their feet.

"Regarding my future, we'll see what happens at the end of the season. Contracts aren't the most important thing in football. If all the parties are happy at the end of a campaign, they remain together. If they aren't, they don't."

However, there would be possibility true if he really quit from Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Rumors and speculation points towards Anfield for his next destination,  and would you dare to bet about it?

The story seems to be interesting, but if you look into his back ground of managing the clubs, the new owner of Liverpool will try to distract the issues prominently.

City would be his future prospects and with lots of cash worth Trillion-dollar of wealth, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan the owner would be more pleased to welcome him to the Eastland.

You would not be surprise to see this from happening after City's recent setback lost to Villa yesterday.

Mancini seems to lost his grips to land a premier league title for City if you look closer at the premier league table, City would be nine points adrift if United could finish their two games in hand with a win.

Four points behind Arsenal if the gunners leveled their match played with a win too and look who is closing down behind City?

Mighty Chelsea which still believes in their faith as one of the title contender would not be happy sitting behind City.

Mathematically, Mancini would lost his job and City current situation revealing the whole story at this early stage where City chances to win the premier league are slowly going not to happens.

One good reason on why Mourinho would go to City at the end of this season, so far as being the richest club in the premier league, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan will not spare the time factor to hold his desire to win the title as soon as possible.

The whole world would still believed that Mourinho is the only one who manage to deliver the silverware back to the Eastland.

Mourinho who love to shops and buying players who he thinks could transforms his plan into reality, had a similar chemistry value with most of the Arabs who dare to turns their business from zero to hero in overnight.

Money + Mourinho + Fantasy players = Success, just simple as that and City had it all to convert this mathematical value into reality.

Apart from City in the premier league, non of the clubs in the premier league that I presumed had that credibility to fulfill Mourinho's ravish desire for success.

Mourinho's appetites are unstoppable, with Jorge Valdano still in his silence for what Mourinho had been expected to land few more new signing still in doubts, unfortunately this will lead further about such speculation that he will leave Real Madrid are about to be true.

I can't think any suitable clubs for this time being which is so desperate to win the title besides City.

If we focus more about City's owner and his pledged once City falls into his hand, take a look at one of his vicious ambition below's.

Now Sheikh Mansour plans to take City to dizzy heights and put even mighty Manchester United in the shade by turning his new plaything into the biggest club on the planet.

The main agenda of his desire are well written and being translate accurately from the day he owns Manchester City.

We are not talking about who is the best manager for City right now, but who can deliver the success, titles, silverware and rewritten as well renewing the new history for Manchester City.

Arabs has long been good in running their moneys into values, perhaps you would not see 2022 world cup will be held in Qatar.

We can't blame City's new owner for all the mess going on in the premier league, but part of his ambition are already there where City becoming one of the title contender by seating within four top position of the table right now.

While Mourinho triggering a hint where he would be available at the end of the season and his passion to come back into the premier league is still intact strongly.

Part of Mourinho unsettle dreams with the premier league are not finish yet, perhaps the awakening of Arsene Wenger's young armies started to conquer the premier league would be his good reason to be back in the premier league.

Why Mourinho for City?

Back to his history when joining Chelsea in mid of 2004, the following year he won two consecutive Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006, among other domestic honours.

Furthermore, he was named the world's best football manager by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) for both the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons. And he was third behind Alex Ferguson while Arsene Wenger won the latest Best World Football Manager of Decade award.

Then Mourinho sparks another headlines with Inter Milan during his managerial career, he had won his first Italian honor the Supercoppa Italiana within three month he moves to Inter Milan in mid 2008.

He completed his first season in Italy by winning the Serie A league title and the following year by winning the first treble in Italian history, the Serie A league title, Coppa Italia, and the UEFA Champions League.

He became the third manager in football history to win two UEFA Champions League with two different teams, after Ernst Happel and Ottmar Hitzfeld.

Due to these achievements he again won the IFFHS best football manager for the 2009–10 season and the first ever FIFA Ballon d'Or Best Coach Award in 2010.

And while he was with Chelsea and Inter Milan, he never failed to buy any of his desired players and well supported by these two respective club's owner.

Now his career with Real Madrid is in the making to reverse the history back to the Bernabeu and to cut down Barcelona in manipulating the La Liga.

Even though he has achieved such success with Real Madrid, I don't think he will reject any offer from City.

It is true he was bored with La Liga, as the excitement in the premier league proved to be more merrier and becoming more challenging.

That is why he is the best candidate for City and it's owner Sheikh Mansour.

Would this factors good enough to convinced that City are the real clubs who will be his next destination in the summer.

I might be wrong or right, but the way going on with City after their spends millions of pound has reached to the limit and it's time for the real show to take over the screen.

Malaysian Life - Mamak's Football Talks (Arsenal Version)

"I have told you City can't win the premier league," it certainly a hot topics in the coffee shop and Mamak's Stalls early in the morning.

It's a a game between the latest signing of Darrent Bent and Eden Dzeko, if you need a quick response to deliver a good result then go for the local star who could ignite their performance instantly.

Well since Malaysia had the biggest fans of MU, their latest big wins leads the highlights around the coffee shop.

Suddenly my bad ears heard something hard to come out from those red devils before, but with my good hearing there is no mistakes about what they have said, Arsenal are the main challenger for MU to retain the premier league title in this season.

All right then, since Chelsea had won the title last year and MU are the strong contenders to pull it back from Chelsea.

But, do not under estimate the gunners which is more hungrier and means to sweeps all the four major championship.

The red devils fans are in high spirits but the big clash with Chelsea in March at the Stamford Bridge and plays against Arsenal at the Emirates in April seems to be worrying them.

First, the red devils are considering themselves to be invincible and secondly premier league title are their major priority.

With both meeting against Chelsea and Arsenal, their chances to create a new record to be invincible a bit fragile.

To win the title, everybody loves to beat or come out with an upset result which could deter the red devils smooth run.

The pressure are mounting against the red devils and I would reconsidered of what Harry Redknapp had said, you got to lose if you want to win the title.

It's kind of hard to accept but it will be a bonus if they can achieve it at the same time.

Berbatov hat-trick and Van Persie latest top forms performance really have a good point of talks around the coffee shop this morning.

All this current situation opens up more fresh speculation about how the premier league will end up for this season.

I would say it was a wonderful Sunday morning for most of the Arsenal and MU fans in Malaysia.

But the gunners had a very important mission in two days time as they will face Ipswich Town in the Carling Cup to book their place in the final at Wembley.

If they succeed to do that, then it will gives Arsenal a massive impact as a whole in the premier league.

All of this sudden current situation gives a very positive implication towards the gunners where by winning the Carling Cup will put them more more comfort in the driving seat to clinch the premier league title too.

The main point is, Arsenal had all their players in good term now and possibility to endure the season with a silverware is more likely brighter.

Fabregas had wipe out his injury nightmares, Van Persie hold firm his grips and proved to be he is back as one of the dangerous striker in the premier league.

Nasri has becoming more matured and with such talent that he had, Arsenal will be more vulnerable where Nasri's magical inspiration live up all the matches that we have won.

Wilshere is improving with his performance, fast, strong, skillful, works hard and his influence in the midfield was so magnificent till now.

Djourou is catching up fast with the experience, tactically he is going to adapt perfectly at the centre back. His entire passion need to be boost up bit further and our consideration to sign new central defender will be unnecessary.

Walcott is transforming himself much faster to suit with Wenger's requirement and he is a player who firmly set his own sight to be a successful one in future.

So much good things about Song where his patience are well paid in his effort to become one of the finest player in the squad.

His true capability shone brightly during the World Cup in Africa and from there on, Song has turns himself into a real potential contender for arsenal regular squad.

You might tells me that his hairy face makes him looks older and matured too. So far, he had sing beautiful song for us till now.

Szczesny, another young talent who felt he is always want to be the best among the best. Just look at him, would you dare to talk more about his capabilities.

He is the most reliable ready stock product that Arsenal had so far, he talks big, thinks big and plays good in big matches against big clubs.

After all, his big ambition is well paid by just not with his words, he proved it strongly with his performances.

I think what Arsenal had in their squad was sufficient enough to satisfies me and all this talks comes from early breakfast at the coffee shop.

And 'Mamak Stall' would be a massive port with the latest premier league morning talks in Malaysia.

Don't be surprised the news coming from there is much more faster and with most reliable sources that you can rely on.

Thanks to 'ASTRO' cable networks for his good service in delivering most of the premier league matches all around Malaysia.

It's good to be in Malaysia while the premier league are miles away from our distances, but you can expect most of us loves English football with numerous of English club's fans are all over our country.

What a wonderful weekend and Mamak's football talks sure will brings you more weekly updates and joy over the match from all over the premier league matches.

Till we meet again.........have a nice weekend.

Second Spot Cost Us £24million

Today's headlines would goes to Darent Bent, but Van Persie hat-trick move the gunners to the second spot in the premier league.

Darent Bent hits his price tag with a goal for Villa and that would be the most expensive goal in the premier league today.

I force myself to stay up late to watch this match and what you know, Aston Villa are simply changed instantly and Houllier must be proud about it. Winning the match is what matters most for him and the costly goal are well paid back by Bent.

And I thought Nasri would score his first hat-trick in this season, but that will not disappoint me anyway when Van Persie should deserved it more with his outstanding forms against Wigan.

I can't remember how many attempt that we should have been scored but quite sure we might won the match with ten goals.

Al Habsi had denied most of our scoring chances and I would make him man of the match even though they lost the match.

Van Persie might have been scored four goals but he missed the penalty in the 71 minutes when Fabregas was brought down by Caldwell.

Last meeting at The DW Stadium, Wigan played with 10 men for the rest of 10 minutes to the end of the match.

Once again, Wigan falls short of player when Caldwell was sent off in the last 20 minutes of the match.

Arsenal starts their games with the strongest squad where Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Fabregas, Nasri, Walcott and Van Persie line up for the first eleven in this match.

I have been waiting for such line up in the beginning of the match and Wenger did not disappoint us when we had the best first eleven to start the match.

This is only the beginning.........rest of it will follows later on.

This match was all about Van Persie where his returns are certainly what we have been waiting for.

With such top and high forms performance he can say good bye to his nightmare.

When Van Persie start to score goals again, Arsenal will definitely going to win something in this season.

This is a very good news as we have three promising strikers which are free injury to strengthen our squad. While Chamakh and Bendtner would be eager to be back playing too.

Arsenal totally took control the entire 90 minutes of the game, Wigan doesn't seems to create danger towards us.

First goal in the 21 minutes by Van Persie, where Song pass through the ball into Wigan's defence and Van Persie was in the onside position to blast the ball into the net.

Fabregas was really in top forms too, his contribution was well paid when his cross pick up by Van Persie who volley the ball on top of the net in the 59 minutes.

Van Persie had his chance to earned his first hat-trick a bit earlier after Fabregas was brought down by Caldwell and the referee had awarded the penalty with Caldwell being sent off as well.

Van Persie failed to convert the penalty kick and the scoreline stays 2 - 0 with 20 minutes to go.

However, a ball over the top found Walcott, he held off his marker and Robin arrived to slam a shot in off Al-Habsi to make it three nil in the 85 minutes.

At last Van Persie has registered his first hat-trick for this season. Every players had a good performance today but sadly Arshavin needs more and more time to recover his true capability.

With 15 minutes to go, Arshavin was brought in to replace Nasri and everything doesn't seems going with his way.

He should thanks to Wenger who still believe that his chances to be back on his feet is well supported.

Wenger has not giving up yet with him and the only way to improve Arshavin's performance is to plays him whenever he had a chance to do so.

However, Spurs draws with Newcastle, City was downed by a goal worth £24million and MU still cruising well with five goals past Birmingham City to sat top of the table.

nanana...Nasri will stamp his first "HATTRICK'

Everyone would love to see Nasri to be back again in the line up today while Wigan will feels an extra ordinary heat upon showing up at the Emirates.

Well placed third bottom of the table, they need miracle to come back and win the match against us.

Still remember at the end of December last year, Wigan did snatched our three precious points even though they are playing with 10 men.

Take a look at Arsenal's previous line up at The DW Stadium on 29 Dec, 2010.

Fabianski

Sagna - Squillaci - Koscielny - Eboue

Diaby - Rosicky - Denilson - Arshavin

Chamakh - Bendtner

If you look at that formation and the players involved, Fabregas, Nasri, Wilshere and Song was not even there in the line up.

Wenger had should at least plays either one of them in the line up to move thing around, even though Nasri and Walcott being brought in in the last 10 minutes but it was too late.

The sign of disaster are well seen when Wigan took a lead in the 17 minute by Ben Watson through a penalty kick.

We saw the weaknesses at the back four and while in the midfield is lack of power to conquer the area and the match ends up with a draw. We closed the year 2010 with a massive setback which put us further from the leader.

We go and take a look at the line up on the first day of new year against Birmingham City.

Fabianski

Sagna - Djourou - Koscielny - Clichy

Song - Wilshere

Walcott - Fabregas - Nasri - Van Persie

Everyone love this match where we won the match with a clean sheet, you must see there is so much differences in term of the result that we produce.

It is clearly shown that these four players are so important and their contribution in each of our match was so vital.

We had the same player in the line up against City and once again it is well proved now Nasri, Fabregas, Wilshere and Song are the best midfield that we had with our back four also performing with excellence.

We had Van Persie back on his feet, Walcott had his superb run, Djourou had settle down good with Koncielny and Sagna, Song and Wilshere communicate efficiently, Nasri and Fabregas back to back action was magnificent and I never saw both of them feels tired at all.

With City plays defensively and there are really at that time, but their records shows the other way when they plays other team where they concede a goal almost every match they played.

And we are right about Mancini plan's for a draw are well prepared earlier before the match to earn them a single point which took them second in the league table.

Then we move to the FA Cup match against Leeds United at home, once again our line up shown an early sign of our weaknesses.

Szczesny

Eboue - Squillaci - Djourou - Gibbs

Song - Denilson

Bendtner - Rosicky - Chamakh - Arshavin

Take a look closely, Eboue, Denilson, Arshavin and Bendtner where these four players are as good as they are, but Wenger had giving them chances to improved in which most of them are still lack of confidence to bring the games more lively for the team.

And perhaps Eboue would benefit this opportunity to get himself back on his feet due to three match suspension on Sagna.

However we are lucky to run away with a draw, where the penalty was converted well by Fabregas in the final minutes of the match.

Szczesny

Sagna - Koscielny - Djourou - Gibbs

Song - Denilson

Nasri

Arshavin - Bendtner - Chamakh

Proved to be right again when we won 3 - 1 at Elland Road, where much on Nasri inspiration in the starting line up, Sagna is back, Song strongly navigate the middle and it's all about the key players which Wenger need to put on his mind as these players definitely had a strong influence in each of our matches lately.

It's all going well with Nasri scores the first goal and we never looking back throughout the match.

The last match that we had to look into now is the semifinal first leg against Ipswich Town.

Szczesny

Eboue - Djourou - Koscielny - Gibbs

Wilshere - Denilson

Fabregas

Walcott - Bendtner - Arshavin

Ipswich plays with a good long ball which put our defence in trouble and one of the their attempt was taken superbly by Priskin to take one goal advantage in the second leg of the semifinal.

Wilshere was not able to support Eboue as what Song used to do, Denilson too was not up to your expectation when he get back into the penalty box, therefore we had only Fabregas to lead the midfield where his roles in need of supports was far back to entertain the defence.

As we entertain Wigan at home today, such mistakes should not be happening again. While Wenger must be alert on such factors if Arsenal want to maintain their winning touch.

So far our momentum and forms are very highly rated to win this match unless Wenger goes back to his crazy ideas.

I don't want to draft any new formation for today's match, as all the info that we are talking about is good enough to convinced each of you.

Go for the best and wrap up the match as earlier as we could to stay focus on Ipswich which will lead us to the Wembley.

Arsenal will win 4 - 0 with Nasri stamp his first hattrick in the premier league in this season and with Szczesny still firm at the goal post, another clean sheet will be achieve.

Are these player can be considered the most loyal players to their club?

Some of them might be the one and most of them had becoming a legend for our club.

In the 70's, David O'Leary might be the most loyal players that I could recall, then Martin Keown and Tony Adams.

But how to determine of that such players is loyal to their club, is this had something to do with the fans and supporters opinion?

Fans and supporters would be the most nearest person to the players, they took the players together with their passion and their personal interest with certain players helps most of the players to success.

For as long as the players could stay with their clubs will automatically transforming such player to becoming as a loyal players to the club.

And how the club be able to determined which player is loyal to them?

Keep playing, stay fresh, avoid injury, good performing, wins more games and well paid.

Most important is how these players comes to know that they are loyal to the club. There are many factors to reconsidered, but love and emotion in each of the players plays a big roles to identified their own interest with their own club.

Players who loves their fans, supporters and their club will have more stronger grips in their mind which will lead them to their deep interest by showing more positive feedback to show their loyalty character.

Does highly paid player today can be more loyal to their club?

Hard to explained in these modern days football, business take place to run the clubs and each players had their own value too.

It's part of the facts where loyal players can really help the clubs into success and yet it quite difficult to determined which player is showing such character to be most loyal to his club till now.

The players own characters seems to be the actual cause whether to presume they are loyal or not to their own club.

With most of Arsenal players are very young and these youngsters, who had full of ambition in their heads, will thinks otherwise when their times are up to move.

Nowadays football players are playing for money to success and we can't denied it as we hardly found non of the key players to stay behind during the hard times even though they insist to stay.

When clubs are in trouble, then financially they are unable to pay such players and even try to sell most of their key players to settle their debts.

So far, I haven't heard any clubs and their players comes up with an agreement to reduce the players salary in order to save the club.

If there any, please correct me and can we consider such example to identified the loyal players that we are looking for.

Some players had shown their loyalty by not going to go anywhere, but the clubs need to sell him and at last he had to go. Did the player sacrifice his loyalty to help his club and do you think he would be able to return to his former club in future.

I don't think so, after few years later, his former clubs will change a lot and sadly they don't need you anymore.

Even nowadays, players are being lured with money, success, title, championship and you just named it. And most of those tactics has been successful to attract football players to move on from one club to another.

We can't expect any players nowadays who is really loyal to their clubs, for instance such as Steven Gerrad, Jimmy Caragher, John Terry and Frank Lampard (local players) where their most reasonable reason to stay with their clubs is because they want to stay in their own country.

Many clubs are interested with them and willing to pay high salary too. Beside that, chances to win more prestigious medals in Europe are much more better.

Even during Ashley Cole move to Chelsea, most of us are getting angry, frustrated, felt betrayed and many others that could sparks such hatred towards him will burst out from no where.

Cole had been with Arsenal for nine years since 1997 - 2006, I would consider that period was good and long enough to put his loyalty to the Arsenal's fans and supporters.

But, the competition are getting more and more stiff where he might chose to prolong his career and tries to wins more medal as he can besides money too had a big influence with his departure from Arsenal.

Yeahhhh.....I myself are more with a thought of that such players are very loyal to their clubs. Of course they have won enough medals but not all medals from competition around Europe that been able for them to achieve.

Career and loyalty are two different issues in which we could relate to but each of the issues are going the same way where at the end of the road you need to decide your true destiny.

For example, if Gerrad, Terry, Carragher or Lampard chose to pursue their careers into a high level momentum, then you would never saw them again playing in the premier league.

It was the player's desire to win as much competition as they could and becoming a top players was a dreams for every each of the players.

That is why today, most of the players are very eager to play with a big clubs where such clubs could push their career to the highest achievement.

With such of big amount of money involved nowadays, clubs does not appear to be interested with the players loyalty.

It is us who goes to the conclusion about who is the player which to put their loyalty to the clubs. However, fans and supporters are the third party who are dare to put anything into their interest and drives along their passion in such fantasies.

Back to the conclusion, players career belong to the clubs, players contribution serves the fans and supporters, players itself are not referring to themselves anymore as their value as an asset forbidden them to do so.

However, fans and supporters still hold the power with their mind to accept whether such player in their mind are loyal to the clubs or not.

Therefore, players might says that they are loyal to the clubs but for how long? The words 'LOYAL' had no boundaries and limits with the times, but I am quite sure such words are more suitable for gooners itself where 'Arsenal Till I Die' prescribe an accurate term for such loyalty.

Soft voice speaks even louder now.

Not one but all four major title are in Nasri head's from now on..............come on boys, gooners will stay together close behind to gives our hard fought supports.

We always right behind you....
Image : arsenalnewzealand.co.nz

There is little hope goes for the young and inexperience gunners when they start the season in August, 2010. Others even makes fun of us when we did not win any silverware for the past 5 years.

As Chelsea start their season with a remarkable performance and it might be true as the defending  champion walk tall all the way.

Once again, others had chose Chelsea or MU are the real title contenders to win the premier league. However, we keep on going and going till at the end of October something weird happening in this competition.

City and Spurs are on the rise to challenge for the title too, while Liverpool is diving down to earth with little chances to get back on track.

I myself still following with a great patience and each year of previous five years without winning anything will never put off my faith with Arsenal.

In the beginning of the season, I kept on asking myself about our young players and Arsenal future for this season. But it always comes with a negative conclusion, we can't win the title because our young players are not ready yet and maybe need too wait for another season.

However, my heart keep on saying this is the time and my feelings never stop trying to believe. I want to be a bit closer with Arsenal this season, that is when I am started creating 'ArsenaLKorneR' and start writing about Arsenal.

I try my best to come up with the story and share the my thought and news with the gooners, at the same time my English are a bit poor or at the average level.

But as long I could stay close with Arsenal and gives my 100% support for my team, then I realised it is worth to do so.

Readers may says whatever they felt about my writing but thank god gooners are well behind to support me.

As I said earlier, there is something weird but there is unknown special factors is coming towards us in this season. Things that you hardly explained but deep in our heart, Arsenal is going all out to produce something about it.

After our match against Leeds United last night, another soft voice is saying with a bit more louder of what a season it will be for the gunners.

It was so nice when all the progress comes in step by step where our boys are at the top forms to maintain more stabled momentum from time to time.

We have been going on with Fabregas for the past five years and he is still the best ever player till now for Arsenal. But his magical touch seems to be lack of power and perhaps need another wizards to help him with this big task for Arsenal.

At last, Nasri lights up more smiles for us and his super inspiration in every matches that we had gone through turns to be a great success.

I have seen in this season where Nasri, Fabregas, Song and Wilshere are the best midfield combination. Great communication on the field, tidy teamwork, neat passes, excellence assist and manage to score goals too.

What you know, Van Persie is back and starts scoring goals again and I have been waiting for so long for this moment to come. He had his best ever forms back with him and his previous best shot roaming around again in my head.

We have come from behind in a hard way, injuries is affecting our players especially the central defender position. From there on we had been up and down because the replacement player need time to adapt with their colleague to understand more with the games.

Fans and supporters starts shouting for Wenger to buy and brought in new players to fill up that position. But Wenger rather go with our own available young players to do the job and it is the time for them to start showing their true capability.

So far, Ryo Miyaichi straight away to Feyenoord and another Brazilian Wellington goes to Levante due to work permit issue.

And today, another brave and brilliant wins at the Elland Road in the FA Cup had put off every single doubt about our weaknesses away.

To our surprise, the line up and changes that Wenger made had proved to be we are getting better and better.

Now are progressing to the next round of the FA Cup and next two matches at the Emirates will sure be a crowd puller to the stadium as fans, supporters and gooners wants more than just a silverware.

Last night, we had been surrounding with 40,000 capacity full packed stadium of Leeds United supporters, you just imagine how it was the atmosphere if Leeds won the match.

With Emirate which can accommodate  60,000 capacity of spectators, I would hardly heard what are talking about just next to me. This is where we stand for, make yourself free to the stadium this weekend and such attendance would be awesome as Arsenal will keep on winning with great support from our audience.

Arsenal are heading for the glory, definitely this year will be our season and being the only top club who had a chance to win all four major competition will makes the environment even more merrier at the Emirates.

Even though I can't mentioned out all the players name today in my writing, but all of you young gunners are so special and never felt proud like this before.

If Wenger had successfully turns his believed into reality then we gooners had put our faith to support his vision about how to success.

Don't forget our next match against Wigan and more to comes towards our ways, till we meet again.........'Arsenal Are Simply The Best'.

nanana....Nassssri!!!!!

What a style of winning to knock out arrogant Leeds United out of the competition......

He did it again!!!!
Image : SkySports

Nasri led Arsenal as a captain to the next round of the FA Cup, what a start after just 5 minutes into the games and Nasri once again inspired the gunners to march on with his superb cool classy goal.

Arsenal win the ball in midfield, Gibbs passes to Chamakh who passes to Arshavin and Nasri run through to slot in for the first goal of the match. Chamakh might had touch the ball before that but Schmeichel had no way to stop it from rolling in into the net.

Wenger made 5 changes where Nasri are being put upfront as a striker as well as a midfield and it was well paid in ther early stage of this match.

Szczesny

Sagna - Djourou - Koncielny - Gibbs

Song - Denilson

Bendtner - Chamakh - Arshavin

Nasri

Walcott had been sideline in this match to put off some pressure to Arsenal as the diving issues would sparks more controversial feeling on the field.

It was a good thought by Wenger and Walcott fine performances in the previous matches would be happy to rested anyway.

Arsenal are full with confidence after that goal, however Leeds had a good game too in effort to get back in the game.

Sagna returns from suspension are always giving us a big relief and his contribution at the right back was so vital for Arsenal.

Two goals lead after 35 minutes and Sagna stamped his return with superb strike where Schmeichel only had a touch on the ball but it straight goes to the top corner.

Leeds does not wait long after that, stunning long-range strike by Johnson make it 2 - 1 in the 37 minutes.

The scoreline stays till the end of the half time and Arsenal look set to create another victory at Elland Road.

As Arsenal kicks off the second half, Nasri plays as a key roles in this match with numerous of attempt and assist in effort to kill off the game.

Fabregas and Van Persie comes on for Arshavin and Chamakh in the 71 minutes, Arsenal is going to push harder in the next within 20 minutes to go.

Much power needed from Fabregas and Nasri to break Leeds defence and these two combination does not dissapoint us with Van Persie heads the ball in to make it 3 - 1 in the 76 minutes.

Bendtner plays a great cross from 15 yards out on the right to Van Persie at the far post and he heads back across Schmeichel and into the net.

From that point, it was all over for Leeds and Nasri ends his match on the 83 minutes to make ways for Clichy.

It happens to be Nasri appearance had a great impact on Arsenal in every vital and important games.

Many thanks for our wonder kid Nasri and everything seems to go on his way with our fans enormous applaud as he walks out from the field.



With 85% of passing accuracy and 70% of possession favors to Arsenal wrap up the match.

Another superb performance and great wins which will spreads wild up to Ipswich Town. The perfect signal in which we are more deserved to play at Wembley in the Carling Cup.

Walcott Will Dive More Deeper Tonight.

He will be diving again tonight and watch out for another controversial win which send Leeds out of the cup competition.

Does he look smart to gives us another win tonight?

What is going on with Denilson? Popping out personal view around to your own siblings does not make you even better too.

Grayson called Walcott to be ban for diving and he knows that would not make much different even Arsenal plays without Walcott.

Denilson should back to the basic where he need to respect Fabregas as a captain and that's where leadership roles lies on him.

If he felt that Fabregas can't deal with him good enough, then he may go and seek from other senior players who could help him with his problems.

As a matter of facts this is not a good idea to blame Fabregas for not doing his job well.

However, this matter was not serious enough which could affecting our preparation for the match tonight.

Hopefully Denilson will feel more better after that shocked outburst and most important he should settle out the mess accordingly.

As been expected, Leeds United will be talking more about the diving issues instead of winning the match and knocks Arsenal out of the FA Cup.

Grayson is not interested to win the match at all and it would be a good sign for Arsenal to get back on their feet as well winning the match too.

With Sagna back in the line up and Grayson should feel more worried about that where he need to restructure his formation.

Sagna is very good at his position and had a very great impact to cause more trouble for the Leeds United defenders.

Arsenal might stands with Wenger's decision for the line up and no surprised with it too.

Van Persie in top forms and scoring goals again is the main factor Arsenal might run away with a comfort win tonight.

Possibility with Denilson will play again tonight is very high, then it is a good opportunity for him.

He had a chance to show how to lead himself with the games and to execute command from the captain to help Arsenal win this match.

Leeds will play hard and robust games again tonight, but their kind of playing will not be able to stop our fast and determined fabulous four in the midfield.

If Walcott had make them feels sicked before, then Walcott will leave them crying after the match.

As for their fine performance of Kasper Schmeichel and Alex Bruce, Leeds hope both of them can repeat such performance again tonight.

Sanchez Watt will be playing again against us tonight and it will be a good progress for him to keep on playing.

At the same time it will make him more mature and wiser, Arsenal will surely benefits from what he had endured throughout his experienced in future.

Arsenal, however are going to fix a few things up and Leeds could guest something different will be happening tonight.

In the previous match, Walcott comes out as sub and tonight he will starts fresh from the beginning to give a real hard time for both of them and the rest of Leeds defenders.

Walcott will deliver more diving crosses in their box for Van Persie and Walcott will dive deep in their box to create opportunity for Nasri and Fabregas.

Leeds seems to create the biggest upset so far in this competition, but it will not happen tonight for them.

Arsenal are far too good for them and our current forms will run down all the obstacles to head for the next round.

Here are my line up for tonight's match :

Szczesny

Sagna - Djourou - Koncileny - Gibbs

Wilshere - Ramsey

Walcott - Nasri - Fabregas - Van Persie

Arsenal will win 2 - 0 in this match, Leeds United defensive approach will denies more goals opportunity for us.

Wrap up tonight match with a win and send the fears to Ipswich Town as we are ready to knock the Wembley's door for the final.

Who are we talking about?

As I have said before, 'City will keep on buying and disposing players' and much more worst to come if they really get their hand with this latest recruit.

However, we check at our backyard first and will talks more about that later on.

Get well soon....

We have been listening and read about Vermaelen injury progress and hopefully the latest news about him will be the final one.

Even though after he recovered, he need time too to get fit and play again as the Champions League matches would be without him anyway.

Arsenal is going to focus more on the FA Cup replay match tomorrow at Elland Road, to get back into the competition are really important as Wenger himself had said the we are going to chase after all four competitions in this season.

And more surprise with the line up.......It's really sound like Wenger indeed.

The Carling Cup seems to be at the highest priority for the time being, where our opportunity to grab the first trophy are in good position.

We hope to see Ryo Miyaichi at the Emirates in January, unfortunately he had landed in Feyenoord as part of cooperation deal with Arsenal.



He is at the training ground and see you in Emirates next season.

Miyaichi was spotted on Monday while training together with Simon the Hungarian at Feyenoord training ground.

He will be playing for Feyenoord till this summers and the reason behind that is all because of unable to obtain a work permit for him for this time being.

It's really a bit disappointing for me as I was so eager to see him to play along side Walcott.

Well, hope to see him soon in next season and by that time he will be more than reliable and fit to play for Arsenal.

Because of Miyaichi could not make his way to the Emirates, so Wenger decided to bring on another young player to replace him at the Emirates as soon as possible.

It is heard that Arsenal is going to sign another youth and if I am not mistaken it was Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton.

The new future sensational player was about to join the gunners as what the news, rumors and gossips related to the player being floating around.

It is not only Arsenal who is interested with, such as MU, Liverpool, Chelsea and many others.

What to be the most irritating latest news that we heard when City comes in with full of money in their bag to lured Alex going to the Eastland.

It was reported that Eastlands football administration officer Brian Marwood had been appoint to get the job done.

Beside that, Arsenal would much be more relief when Southampton boss Nigel Adkins insists the club will make a decision on which offer to accept based on what is best for the player - not just the size of a bid.

Will that be true or how if City double up the offer?

City had been following Arsenal movement in term of players who should they buy and especially young talent in which under Arsenal observation.

It doesn't matter if City could hijacked him from us but how long they can keep Mancini at the Eastland to groom him.

It will be such a waste of time if Alex really going to City and his further development as well with his future will be in jeopardise.

Since City is going to talk with this kid about their intention there is a possibility that Arsenal will lose in their bid to grab Alex to the Emirates.

This kid had creating numerous of question about his status and are we part of the club who really keen to sign him.

Furthermore, does Wenger really involved and mean about his intention regarding this matter.

So far, sources only revealed that Wenger is interested and perhaps talks been going on but do we really put a price on him.

Sound incomplete and the price tag means a lot in this transaction, and as we know Arsenal do not have the spending power to compete.

Before this, from a credible source had reported that Southampton are still negotiating but hope to achieve £10m for Oxlade-Chamberlain.

It was reported that Arsenal is going to close the deal with £5m, this also could be not true and City would be much happier to offer £10m as according to what Southampton required.

Arsenal ambition to recruit Alex into their squad was a great move as we would see much younger competitive players for next season.

What to be a bit surprised when Wenger denied any attempt to sign Alex - Wenger - No move for Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Would it be matters where Alex is going to head but City was totally not suitable for him.

I have admiring Wenger lately in term of his way in approaching and recruiting new players, he is really good in avoiding media from making further speculation. At the same time, you are shocked when the deal is through.

We need to wait and see how Wenger going to works thing out for Arsenal, but I would not concern much about it, because he used to get what he want all the time.

Precisely, who ever Wenger brought in into the Emirates will always works for the team and that why he is so special with Arsenal.

We won and that's matters most.

Arsenal are very busy with their own agenda and matches to deal with, where goalless draw between Spurs and MU did not attracts much interest with us.

Thrilling Super Sunday match between Spurs and MU ends up this week premier league battle for a while.

Spurs start strongly with nearly 60% possession of the match, turns the day to the scary one for MU.

MU unconvincing performance throughout this season was clearly shown against Spurs and much more with their organized team helps them to earn a point at the White Hart Lane.

The match becoming more and more tense as Spurs mounts their effort to broke MU unbeaten record and collects three precious point.

Ferdinand and Vidic was far more lethal at the back to stop such attempt and Ferguson was force to change his formation to 4-5-1 after an hour of the match.

Redknapp and his boys are in full swing to break the deadlock and their chances seems to going on to their side when Rafael was sent of in 74 minutes after receiving second yellow card.

This where the talking point begin with Ferguson comment on Mike Dean the referee.

Premier League - Tottenham Hotspurs vs MU (Mike Dean)
"You can see that for yourself. I don't have to discuss the referee. It's out of my bounds now, thank God!" - Alex Ferguson.
FA Cup - MU vs Liverpool (Howard Webb)
"It was a penalty," said Ferguson, whose side face a trip to Southampton in the fourth round.
"Dimitar says he was definitely clipped. The replay shows he slightly touched him but the momentum is enough to bring the player down.
"There is no reason for him to go down anyway. He is not that kind of player.
"Berbatov is on the byeline, he is in the penalty box. I think it was right.
 FA Cup - Leeds United vs Arsenal, Premier League - West Ham United vs Arsenal.

"I've got no regrets about what I said." 
Eventhough MU is still playing with 11 players, there is no chance for them to win that match as Spurs defender are working very well too.

With 6 yellow card and 1 red card flashed by Mike Dean shows that how the games are physically played between these two team.

Rafael sending off had turn the match in favor to Spurs where the last 15 minutes saw them pushing hard to look for the winning goal.

Ferguson was so furious with the sending off but stay intact with the penalty which ruins Liverpool hope to play in the FA Cup.

After the draw, Arsenal, City and Chelsea are closing down with the leaders.

Chelsea would love to grab full points when they meet MU in March, as Ferguson announcing that date will be the deciding day who will win the title. Surprised! Arsenal will win it......

With Chelsea back in full forms and ready to win again, the premier league would be more lively in every week.

Arsenal will play Leeds United at Elland Road in a replay match of the FA Cup, the gunners will sure have plenty to proud off after their fine winning performance against West Ham.

With 9 matches to endure in January, Arsenal look set to amend something with their two local cup results.

First, to win the replay match at Elland Road and second is to win against Ipswich Town at the Emirates to reach for the Carling Cup final at Wembley.

After we won against the Hammers, no one is able to stop us from going to the final of the Carling Cup.

Wigan will at the Emirates for the premier league match in between that local cup competition.

Confidence had pouring tremendously lately for the gunners, our momentum maintain at the higher point and the players are so eager to create more winnings memories where we are in a good position to fight till to the end of the season.

Vermaelen had his treatment and he will miss the Champions League match for sure but yet Wenger haven't sign any of new players.

However, our young gunners keep their feet on the ground firmly till now and such matters doesn't even bother them at all.

Match against Leeds United will not be a big problem and Arsenal are well deserve to win their last 3 matches in January.
