Was a good finish but he's still not played well. Still though, it's derby. He could still get a hat trick.

OPENROAD

RVP injured again:(


I really hope he does not play for the dutch in the summer or they get knocked out very early.

gosplan

Have to feel for RVP if he's injured.

what type of injury? Serious? I really hope not, that guy is a real talent but can simply never seem to stay fit. it was an unfair title to begin with but i really thought he had/has the potential to go with the "Next Bergkamp" tag and would love him to have a full season uninterupted by injury.

Royale with Cheese

Could be a good few more goals on the cards here if they're arsed. Woeful finish by Walcott there.

Royale with Cheese

Conceding 2 against Derby. Pretty f*cking embarrassing tbh.

cson

5-2.

Its a bit mad to be honest.

Royale with Cheese

Fair play to Adebayor. Some poor finishing in there from a few players, but he managed to stick most of his chances away.

OPENROAD

6-2 Final score.

A stroll in the park.


Now come on West Ham and Newcastle.

cson

Eh, 6-2 speaks volumes about our defence.

Fabianski... he's not solving that Goalkeeper position anytime soon.

yeah - they all love attacking. Clichy set up two, Toure set up one and had a few shots etc.

Yeah, did he get MOTM for 45 mins?

Royale with Cheese

Yeah he got it. Setanta saying Fabregas would have got it if Adebayor hadn't got the hat trick, but they're obviously f*cking idiots. Cesc had a fairly quiet game, forgot he was there for large portions of it.

Pepe LeFrits

I thought Cesc was excellent tbh.

Denilson was off the pace in the first half, but much better in the second. In time I think himself and Cesc could make an excellent pairing.

Bendtner was far, far better once Adebayor came on and he switched to a withdrawn role in behind him. It is good that he can play with Ade I suppose, but we are rather short of alternatives to Adebayor, and we have plenty of potential partners for him already.

Walcott grows more mature each game.

Defensively we were a shambles though. A new CB in the summer is an absolute must IMO.

On a different note, rumours are floating about that we're imminently about to sign Bulgarian winger Nikolay Dimitrov.

jank

So how many goals for Adeboyer now?

On the match itself. Derby are **** so id be wary of saying we played well.
Great hat trick though for Adebayor.
Van Persie needs a summer off imo, If he cant stay fit next season wenger should call it a day with him.
Bendter im still unsure off. Still young and will improve.
Walcott is getting better alright. Think he will be a force for use next year. Needs to backhimself to beat players though.
Eboue, god will he ever just **** off. See him when he had an open goal to score. He tried to hit it with both feet and then injured himself.
Cesc was quiet enough, played a very withdrawn role. Probably not giving 100% and probably saving himself for the euros. Some great passes though
Defense is a worry though. 2 very soft goals given away. Song wont solve those issue either.
Clichy, imense yet again.

OPENROAD

Interview with Arsene before the match suggests that not as much money available as people are saying and secondly he will be looking to buy at the back as a priority.

jank

Who is he now? Any good.

Do you an inside man in the club pepe

Royale with Cheese

It's a bit depressing if money isn't there, most of the transfer budget will be spent replacing Hleb and Flamini.

Pepe LeFrits

I really can't understand how the money couldn't be there. The stadium isn't that much of a burden, and new TV deals have pumped massive amounts of money into the PL since Arsenal arranged the finances. If teams like West Ham can splash the cash, there is no reason why we should be unable to.

I've never seen Dimitrov play so I can't comment on him. All I know is he is 20 years old, left winger, capped for Bulgaria. Not exactly the most exciting signing, if it is true.

AnCapaillMor

Dunne and robinho being mentioned on arseblog. dunnes really impressed me by the way he turned himself around. robinho i don't know, thin he could be another reyes.

Club Level alone brings in more than the whole of Highbury ever did.

Don't think we would go for Dunne imo.

Mr Alan

I'd imagine the money needed to bring Robinho in would also rule out Arsenal. Surely if he leaves it'll be crazy money.

astrofool

Even if they do have money, they won't tell anyone they have it.

Newcastle go about to spend big each summer, and spend big they do, on usually mediocre talent, that would go for half that amount if they'd been a bit more savvy.

PHB

The money is there, but I assume it goes on profits. I think if Wenger asked for a big summer, they'd give it to him, because their spending has been so low that have reaped in some serious profits.

Robinho has gone up and down in Real's eyes, and he might be availible for about 20 million. He'd be a fantastic signing for Arsenal, fit in perfectly imo.

gosplan

Robhino would potentially be great but after Baptista and Reyes, we'd have to be aware of the possibility of it not working out.

He's a winger/striker which would be great but it'd be a lot of money to spend when we have to buy a DMF(assuming Flamini goes) and a defender.

I'm particulalry worried about the DMF position. Here's hoping that Gilberto(if he stays) and Denilson can carry some of the weight because I don't see us getting a ready made replacement.

Galvasean

Anyone know where I can see the goals/highlights?
