A very good morning to my fellow Gooners,
We've got a lot of news to round up today.
First things first, the preview of tomorrows match against Sheffield United. On paper, they should be pushovers, but lets not underestimate any team. As it stands, Arsenal have won 4 out of their last 5 games against Sheff Utd, the other one being a 1-1 draw. Sheffield Utd won their last FA cup in 1925 (thats a long time ago :D), and are currently 20th in the league. Good news for us is that both Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie are expected to play. Its goin well for us coz this game will let Henry and RVP settle in after injuries, and should we win, will do the players confidence a world of good. I, for one, dont want a 1-0 victory. I want a comprehensive victory with at least a 2 goal margin. That will put aside all worries about form, and fully bring back Championship hopes. And thats bound to happen tomorrow. Enough said.
Other good news comes in from the Arsenal Reserves with a good 2-0 victory over Portsmouth. Jeremie Aliadiere scored both goals and Brazil Under-19 captain Denilson impressed in his first appearance on English soil. Also, Theo Walcott picked up a little shoulder injury during the game and had to go off at half time. Lets hope the young turk recovers before tomorrow. I really love watching him play.
Thierry Henry has paid tribute to Arsene Wenger's 'unique' legacy, with an exquisite choice of words. I just cannot describe the entire article in excerpts. You'll have to read it fully here. We love you both, Arsene and Henry.
Arseblog have put up this heart wrenching picture of Highbury's current state. Though we know its being taken down to be converted into flats, it still hurts to see Highbury in such a state.
An off-topic to end, I dont know how many of you watched Xabi Alonso's wonder-goal against Newcastle United. If you didnt, you really missed something!! He put it past the desperate Newcastle keeper from 70 YARDS OUT!!! You can watch the video below.
Lets forget all of that now, coz WE WANT A WIN TOMORROW!!! GO GUNNERS!!! SHEFF UTD BEWARE!!!
And I'm going to get back to 'Gas Dynamics and Jet propulsion' by S.Senthil :-(
Have a good day,
God Bless..
UPDATE : Arsenal-Mania reports that our dashing Swiss defender, Phill Senderos, has almost fully recovered from his shoulder injury at the World Cup, and is expected to return to practise next week. They also have a wonderful article on Kolo Toure. Check it out here.
Cheers..
