I don't get why the 3rd of those games isn't a mid week game? We have QPR on Saturday and then Fulham on Monday. Why not play Fulham on Wed?

Unless the fixture around Christmas has always been like that every year?
It was supposed to be with yesterday's fixtures but it was postponed because of the train strike.

It isn't real is it ? Wenger is not really thinking of getting Henry on loan is he?

The side looks really tight at the moment and I'd hate to think what importing such a hugely inflated ego into our squad would do.

This is the fellow who'd rock up to training late and then get them to hold up training so he could go back and change his boots and then not even do up his shoe laces and prance around like a show girl.

Real dangerous I reckon.

I don't think it's like that at all mate. Henry loves arsenal (and wenger for that matter). The signs are similar to when we re-signed Sol, ie training with us to maintain fitness, training the house doan and really mixing with the boys well. I don't believe wenger would ever allow such disruptive influences or egos in the dressing room. In fact he's made moves in recent years selling good players to rid the club of egos (adebayor and gallas for example)

Yeah, that'd be worse than having Szczesny in goal!

He's been training with us for the past 2 months so he's pretty much already a squad member. Has only had a positive impact.

Touchy, touchy !!

I made an observation based on what Henry was like at The Arsenal previously.
I hope he has become a team player; 't would be great, even though he's 35 and Wenger got rid of him at the end of 2007 because he was disruptive. Maybe he's matured?

As for Szczesny, even Wenger said a couple of weeks ago that he has a long way to go.

Don't go 'round sounding like a Liverpool supporter Benno!

Good stuff Gervinho and a quality pass by Yossi.
Djourou is a liability. Not sure if he's worse with the ball at his feet or one on one with a winger/striker.
