Exceelent game by the Gunners this morning.

Walcott is improving with every game he gets under his belt.

Fabregas was immense, was just toying with the Derby mid-field in the end.

Adebayor could've had more than 3, alas. He was great when he came on, too.

I'd also like to add that I absolutely loved the game of Sterjovski, he was great for Derby, and hopefully a team like West Ham/Sunderland or Middlesbrough will pick him up over the off-season. Too good for a side of Derby's capabilities.

Thanks guys for completing part one of my mulit at the TAB:thumbsu:.

Agree with Sterjovski, certainly has a role to play in the EPL, maybe with one of the promoted sides.

Big Nick MoM for mine. Ade also fantastic.

The back 4 needs serious sorting out. Tony Adams wants to come back to Arsenal to coach, and that should add some real grunt to the back 4.

Martin Keown coaching made Eboue - Kolo - Senderos - Flamini have the longest run without conceding in the CL. Tony Adams should do the same.

I saw that vid a couple of weeks back. Classic.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Matthieu Flamini has told his Arsenal team-mates that he will be joining AC Milan. The 24-year-old, who is rated as one of Europe’s best centre midfielders, has not signed an extension to his Gunners contract that runs out in June, and his manager Arsene Wenger is now resigned to losing him.

Today the Corriere dello Sport claims that Flamini has notified his Arsenal team-mates where his future lies next season.

“I have decided that I will be going to Milan,” the Frenchman purportedly said in the dressing room.
Disappointing if true. But we don't lack central midfielders in the squad with Diaby, Denilson, Gilberto and even Rosicky all capable, however Flamini leaving so soon leaves a bitter taste in the mouth - can't help but think what a money hungry piece of sh*t he is.

They may be offering more wages but they are also offering a signing on bonus. But why do AC need him are they getting rid of Gattuso?

Fox Sports are reporting that we are possibly negoiating with Mark Milligan.
ROFL

Now, dont get me wrong, Milligan is a fine player, a sensational player for the Olyroos and in time the Socceroos, but he isnt Arsenal standard yet.

Him moving to one of the biggest clubs in Europe would be a bad move for him IMO, unless you loan him out pretty much instantly.

Just my opinion though

Milligan set to join Gunners

OLYROO captain Mark Milligan is poised to join English Premier League club Arsenal after impressing manager Arsene Wegner in a secret trial.
Speaking on Total Football on Fox Sports last night, Milligan confirmed he was poised to sign with the Gunners and quit Sydney FC subject to obtaining a British work permit.
An Arsenal source said that Wenger saw Milligan as a potential straight replacement for French international Matthieu Flamini, who is bound for AC Milan next season.
But Milligan's decision to head to the UK in a bid to secure his footballing future has not impressed his Olympics coach Graham Arnold, who was expecting him to join his Beijing-bound team-mates in camp in Townsville, North Queensland.
Milligan was the subject of transfer talks at the start of the last A-League season when his manager Craig Nettlebeck had the dashing young left back ready to sign with then newly promoted French club Metz.
But negotiations broke down when Sydney FC management refused the rising star's clearance to France.
Meanwhile, pending fatherhood could rule out Socceroos Lucas Neill, Mile Sterjovski, Jacob Burns and Josh Kennedy from playing in crucial World Cup qualifiers next month.
Australia coach Pim Verbeek yesterday revealed the four players' partners are all expecting "some time" in June with Australia due to contest four crucial matches in three weeks against Iraq in Brisbane and in neutral Dubai, then Qatar (away) and China in Sydney on June 22.
"It is a tricky situation. Obviously I have to make allowances," Verbeek said.
"It is no state secret all four boys' wives or partners are due to give birth in June around the time we have big games scheduled. I will plan my squad around them."
In addition to the pending births, Verbeek yesterday ruled out for the next group stage Mark Viduka, Tim Cahill and Patrick Kisnorbo because of injury.
Viduka, in a purple patch of form with Newcastle United, is troubled by an achilles problem which will require surgery.
Cahill (Everton) and Kisnorbo (Leicester City) both face lengthy spells on the sidelines with long-term foot and knee problems.

I read a blog by Jesse Fink (writes for theworldgame), and he said that it was the same reported who "leaked" this story 2 months ago that Milligan was moving to Arsenal but just to a different media outlet.

Right, can't win the league now so there's no reason not to give Gibbs and Barazite a bash. For all his tightness, cost cutting and youth~!!!!!!! approach he doesn't nearly give these guys enough of a chance. They should both start tomorrow.
