    I think the players will be really motivated by revenge for this one. Bolton has embarrassed us too many times, so hopefully our guys will take this chance to kick them when their down. (not literally, of course... well maybe... if the refs not looking) ;)

    Good news, everyone!

    Anelka was sent home from the France squad today due to a thigh injury. He is a doubt for the match on Saturday.

    Bolton are a shadow of their former selves. In that case i can really see this one getting out of hand. However its always hard after international breaks. So this one is hard to call and i could see it being tight or see us destroying them. Im hoping for the first, especially since its bolton and they are a bunch of hacks.

    On the other hand, *fingers crossed* we should have our entire squad available for this match.

    That's excellent for us. Arsenal's defense can target Diouf and with Anelka out, the midfield can play loose and scoring-focused. This Bolton match is essential to gaining a bit of advantage on the rest of the league...we're going to need any advantage heading into the gruel of winter.

    ManUre have played one more league match than us and are still two points back, with an away match vs. Villa this weekend. Citeh play B'ham at home this weekend and Liverpool are away for a big derby match at Everton (with F. Torres out). No better time than now to earn a little padding.

    Senderos has apparently picked up a back strain with Switzerland but if things go well when Gallas plays for France on Wednesday he should be back to take his place.

    He should be careful. I think Deaner took his wife to London for their honeymoon... and ended up falling in love with Charlie George. :D

    Rosicky's Injury

    If he needs german medical attention why don't they send us one of their doctors for a few months to let Rosicky overcome this.

    This is bad news and needs to most definitely get sorted out.

    I feel that a fit Rosicky and Hleb will be crucial to winning the EPL and CL. Heres hoping it will get sorted out.

    I actually just posted a new thread about this and our medical staff.

    I think that our staff is in the physio room could be our main problem at this point.

    So the Arsenal physio, who is also the England NT physio, isn't very advanced? I find that hard to believe. Either way though, something needs to be done to get Rosicky sorted so he can play an entire season.

    As someone who has dealt with germans for many years in business, I can assure you the atttitude is this : There is the wrong way and there is the German way....

    Just because Lewin works for the England NT does not mean he is the best person for the job. We have tons of injuries. So does the ENT. Our players don't come back from injuries quickly. Other teams players seem to. Coincidence? I don't think so.

    Man U have eight players out at the moment. So do West Ham. Does that mean both their physio's are crap?

    You're seriously talking out your arse mate.

    I assumed from what I know about their historical record keeping they'd be meticulus and methodical about everything. I just can't help but get a Simpson's joke in when I can.

    This is going to be a busy Saturday.

    Nevadas in the morning for this, come back to my apartment, take a breather for an hour, then head out to another bar for the England vs. South Africa game.

    Lets hope for gunner and bokke victories!

    They are still winning games - benefit of having consistent quality in the squad methinks.
