Brown the tool said he wouldn't accept an apology (not that Cesc should've given one). These twats keep contradicting themselves.

And I'm surprised Ade actually played. Thought he was just called up for Togo just to boost squad morale.
Same deal with us and Benayoun, we didn't want him to go, he was picked (as he is Israel's captain) and played 76 minutes.

"Fabregas had said today: "I think this is completely closed for me.''

But Duffen told Sky Sports News: "If maybe he feels he did behave inappropriately I couldn't understand why he would want to think it was over"


What kind of twisted logic is this? So, he's saying that a reluctance to blow this thing beyond all proportion is an admission of personal guilt?

Erm, maybe he's got bigger things on his mind, Paul? You know, Champions League, Premiership Top 4 and even an FA Cup Semi ;) !!

Haven't heard from Gallas in a while... I wonder where he could be?...

Oh look, he's over there, offside.

Last touch came off the GK. Clear as day.
It has been along time since Gallas has spoken out about something. Maybe he is actually content or he's done a deal under the table to get him out of Arsenal.

If it's that Gallas call, rightly or wrongly, that is Hull's genuine beef then they should come out and throw all their weight behind getting the decision reviewed.

But to bang on about an alleged spit in the tunnel reeks of a club with short man syndrome trying to take down one of the biggies out of some ill-founded sense of principle.

It could very well have been your club that had become the target of their animosity. And you too would be scratching your head in disbelief as you contemplate far bigger issues at hand.

Van Persie blow for Dutch

Arsenal ace withdraws from squad with groin injury




Robin van Persie will play no part in Holland's World Cup qualifying match against Macedonia on Wednesday due to a groin injury.
The Arsenal striker has left the Netherlands training camp in news that will alarm his club manager Arsene Wenger.
Van Persie had looked to have been returning to form of late after missing much of the campaign with a succession of injuries.
He was on target for the Dutch in Saturday's comfortable 3-0 victory over Scotland, but has now been sidelined with a fresh problem.

Sigh whenever someone comes or about to come back, someone HAS to get injured and why not Mr. Injury Prone.

THE Cold War for control of Arsenal intensified last night with America and Russia at each other’s throats.

Gunners’ board moved to prevent a possible takeover by Uzbekistan metals magnate Alisher Usmanov.

Director Danny Fiszman sold 5,000 shares for £42.5million to US sports tycoon Stan Kroenke — who now owns 20 per cent of the club.

And, in doing so, Fiszman and the rest of the board — who had to agree to the sale — have publicly shown their dislike of Usmanov.

Fiszman, who has vowed to hold on to his remaining 16.1 per cent stake, is a fierce enemy of Usmanov and former vice-chairman David Dein who sold his 14.65 per cent shareholding to the Russian in 2007.

The agreement to sell to Kroenke rubber-stamps the board’s massive U-turn over the American.

When he first bought a stake in Arsenal, chairman Peter Hill-Wood remarked they did not want “his sort” involved.

But as Usmanov, who owns 25 per cent of the club, has cranked up his interest the board have moved to welcome the Yank.

Kroenke is now a friend and Fiszman said: “Stan’s long-term commitment to sport in general and football in particular has been well documented. I am therefore delighted he has shown this desire to deepen his ties with Arsenal.”

The key figure in Arsenal’s future now is Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith who owns a crucial 15.9 per cent.

She was ousted from the board in November at Fiszman’s suggestion. If she sells to Usmanov, the club could be catapulted into chaos.

Buying Bracewell-Smith's stake would officially trigger a takeover bid as it would push Usmanov's stake beyond the 30 per cent threshold. But the board hope she will do business with Kroenke.

The American says Arsenal are going in the right direction under the current set-up.

He said: “I will continue to work closely with my board colleagues to maintain the stable environment in which the club operates and to preserve the self-sustaining business model enjoyed by the club.”

Team news ...

Fabregas, Adebayor and Walcott have all been passed fit for the match against Man City.

Van Persie (groin), Diaby (thigh) and Eduardo (groin) are out. All three were injured on international duty. Bendtner also has a knee problem but should be available.

Nasri has the flu and is likely to miss while Vela will be rested ...

Almunia
Sagna - Toure - Gallas - Clichy
Walcott - Fabregas - Denilson - Eboue
Adebayor - Arshavin

Fabianski, Djourou, Silvestre, Gibbs, Song, Ramsey, Bendtner

Sidelined: Diaby, Rosicky, Nasri, Van Persie, Eduardo, Vela

Song has been on fire in the middle of the park. By far the better option the bloody Denilson.
He has been durable at least. He has stood up well to his first proper season in the premier league. Diaby is a better talent in the middle than Denilson but his body seems to be injury prone.

Vela won't be playing. He only got back from Honduras yesterday morning.

If Nasri is fit to play, I'd like to see Arshavin play off Adebayor. When Adebayor and Bendtner play together it never works out well.

Yes, Nasri has been ruled out. Bendtner still in slight doubt.

That was my expected team. Wenger has hardly ever left Denilson out of the starting lineup in the league.

Interesting, Denilson on the left? Or even a 4-3-3?
