His injury problems are getting worrying now.

Frimpong is off to Wolves on loan. Good move, hope Ryo can join an EPL club as well.

Perfect set of results today BTW. :thumbsu:

Good to see we got the three points against QPR. Should have battered them (I only watched the last 35 minutes) and we had a handful of chances in that period.

Main thing is we got the three points.

Injury free put him down for at least one, he owns that filthy mob mentally.
Watch them shit bricks as soon as he touched the ball.

Yes - Happy New Year!

2011 was utter shit for the Arsenal.
As opposed to 2006/7/8/9/10?

Vermaelen has strained a calf and is out for 2 to 3 weeks.

Frimpong has joined Wolves on loan.
Yeah, probably 2 or 3 months now in Arsenal speak

yeah let's hope its not another case of 'scans have showed the injury is worse than first thought, and he's out for the season' etc etc.

on the other hand, last week we thought djourou was out for 3-4 weeks with a groin but he recovered to play over the weekend. hopefully TV's injury isnt that bad.

surely now we have to sign some cover at the back. the next in line to play left back would be coquelin? but he's a central midfielder. anyway something has to give surely now

cant complain with the overnight results though. that was brilliant. we're now 2 points clear in 4th

Coquelin is versatile though. Will turn out to be a very good player IMO, he's like Flamini and will be utilised as a utility player. Let's just hope his contract doesn't expire.

Yeah I agree Glen. No doubt we'll find a way to **** it up though.

Thought we played much better offensively when coq came on, were a bit shaky defensively but coq gave us that width we needed and we moved the ball better and created more chances.

Was a pain seeing troare try and cause his just as fast as Walcott he cut out his main strength making Walcott pretty much useless.

Also think that Moore i think its him or his is name young can't remember, should have been a penalty from the handball.

Don't think djourou should have not been given a yellow for the barton tackle, not that it matters and the vermalean one was baffling as to why it wasn't reversed.

Next game is tomorrow. :rolleyes:

I reckon RvP and Arteta will be rested (on bench) which will make a tough game even tougher.

Fulham played a strong team at Norwich though so they won't be any fresher.

Is gervinho available?

Back four won't change i don't think minus vermalean out so it will be out of miquel and Coquelin for left back.

Song will be the freshest out of the midfielders considering he didn't play against villa and didn't play the full 90 minutes against wolves. Arteta will be rested and Ramsey may drop to the bench. I would like benayoune in is his position.

The wings will be fresh though RVP will need to be rested, is park ready to step up? and will henry be allowed to play?

Henry won't be available, he isn't match fit in any case.

Ramsey was rested against Wolves so he should be okay to start.

I reckon Rosicky/Yossi/Gervinho/Chamakh in for Arteta/Arshavin/Walcott/Van Persie. Miquel for Vermaelen.

Rosicky playng with Yossi does not seem to go well both players have no cutting edge. Chamakh should stay on the bench would rather play Walcott through the middle with the Ox out wide.

Yossi has, he just doesn't get enough chances.

I think he's a handy squad player to have, even for next season. But the reason he left Chelsea was for more playing time so can't see him agreeing to stay here.
