its probably just a strain, if they said he'd be back for braga i dont think its too bad.

What a cheeky goal from Song, twas a thing of beauty. Excellent match for the gunners, Koscielny made a costly mistake early which makes me nervous about him, especially when the bigger clubs come to play. Squillaci looked unsure at times as well, you could definitely tell that Verms was missed on the day. Glad Smack got back on the scoresheet, excellent well placed header. And Fab was ridiculous today, his passes were cutting, sharp and precise, i'm going to miss that next season

[phelan]

Koscielny will be alright. I'm telling you, he's growing into his role quite well. And he doesn't look too spindly to me right now either. He was in a great position for his first goal, so credit to that. Squillaci is only playing his 2nd 90 minute game for the Gunners, but he is showing great poise in the back, he and Verm may be my go to starting CBs, with Kos off the bench for now.

Fab as usual, leading by example. I'm rockin' my jersey today for good reason and credit to VELAAAAAAAA, on the scoresheets!!!

btw I've been saying forever Gibbs deserves a chance. Kid did very well today. I want him starting over Clichy right now.

LMAO

hey fellas, this is a really long video, just highlights from the game against bolton, but I was watching and I couldnt get over how amazing Fab's passes were, its going to hurt us bad when he goes, I havent seen passing like this in a long long time. And that outside foot pass Rosicky hit for Arshavins chance was ridiculous.

and in the video the commentators and the guys talking at the end say that Cahills challenge was a yellow, and i'm going to have to disagree, if you look at the challenge, not only was it from behind, it was with both legs and studs up, according to my handy dandy FIFA referee book (i referee JV HS soccer games), thats a straight red card, regardless if he had the slightest touch on the ball. Cahill knows thats a no no and the referees have been instructed to enforce that at the highest level, both legs, studs up, behind, you're off and thats that.

God damnit now I know why I never come to this thread anymore.

I wish they had a picture of the canvas the "small man" gave to Henry. It was really really impressive.

[phelan]

God that's awesome. I'm going to watch the Galaxy v. Red Bulls game on the 24th. Hopefully some of the CA Gunners contingent will make it out too

[cow]

I was already planning to go to the match & then found out about the event. The Red Bulls match was fun, but I had a better time at the bar watching the Arsenal match & then taking the train to the station.
