A whole week off?

One game in three weeks, this could very well be boring, still onwards unto the breach and all that. I suppose the first bit of business should be an article I had published on the Gunnersphere site about injuries to our defence and 'keepers and just how much Wenger is culpable for a lack of depth. Be sure to take a look.

Anyways, onto other news and there has been quite a lot of rumour talking about Jens Lehmann joining the club on a short term deal seeing as he's already here training to get his coaching badges. I certainly wouldn't mind, his winning mentality would certainly be welcome; but we're yet to see anything official on this front *UPDATE: From what I'm told, Lehmann's deal has been finalised and he will be in the squad to face West Brom*. Former Gunner Perry Groves has been talking to talkshitesport about how the second string really has to be fired up. I couldn't agree more, there's been a distinct gulf between the first and second XI's this season; and most of that is down to a lack of desire. Emmanuel Petit has this to say as well, bit weird though, not really sure what to make of it, though it is in the Sun and all that...

Aaron Ramsey has been speaking about how he is glad to be back playing for Arsenal, as can be seen in this interview once again provided by CescyFabGooner.




Wenger has hit back at his critics following the loss at Old Trafford, saying that on another day United wouldn't have a Van Der Sar in goal, a player he thinks they will miss. Speaking of players, Wenger agrees that we miss Alex Song, but insists we miss him no more than we miss any other player. He's also been telling people that despite recent setbacks, we still have steel in our side and can be resilient when we want to. I just wish we wanted to more often.

Finally, it seems that Arsenal may be going into the later stages of the FA cup after all, as Arsenal Ladies cruise into the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Everton with Rachel Yankey and Katie Chapman scoring a goal each.

That's all for today folks.
