No rest for the wicked...

Never mind Liddlepuddle, we're facing the Spuds tomorrow. Let's hope Bacary Sagna is able to return after resting this weekend, as Emmanuel Eboue is a bit of a liability at the back as usual. With Carl Jenkinson set to sign in the summer, is this the end of the road for Eboue's Arsenal career? Talkshitesport have been talking as well; with Perry Groves saying we should sell Cesc Fabregas if the right offer comes in. I think the problem is that the right offer isn't coming in, rather than us not accepting it. The club have been linked with Frieburg forward Papiss Demba Cisse, but speculation is that the club will need to part with £13million to sign him. A striker coming in? You'd have to think that this heralds either a return to the 4-4-2 or an exit this summer for one of our current strikers.


I've also heard (from admittedly an unreliable source) that the club have offered PSG £13million for Mamadou Sakho, but the Mirror reckon he's content to stay in France for the next few seasons. The Mirror also have a piece on Jack Wilshere, wanting not only to play for the U-21s this summer, but in the Olympics next summer as well as the European Championships. I understand that he's young and wants to play as much football as possible, but isn't that stretching it a bit?

Wojciech Szczesny has been talking about how he hopes to cement his position as the No.1 at the club so that the boss doesn't need to buy a keeper in the summer. With Fabianski and Szczesny both kicking on this season, I don't see why a keeper would be brought in during the summer, with Mannone more than adequate as a No.3. Theo Walcott has also been talking about how he has kicked on this season, he's been both scoring and assisting more and it's been good seeing him do so well.

Finally, a piece in LadyArse about Benik Afobe's loan spell written by a Huddersfield fan and a match report as Arsenal cruised into the semi-finals of the Dallas Cup with a 6-0 victory over Panamian Chorillo FC.



A few videos for you then pre-match interviews ahead of tomorrow from Theo Walcott and Robin Van Persie. A Theo Walcott compilation as well, plus Carlos Vela vs Chelsea and Henri Lansbury vs Nottingham Forest. Enjoy.
