I did some research about Arsenal yesterday and found out something unique. Arsenal has played 44 games this season (all competition) and the record is this:
30 wins, 10 draws, 4 defeats, 90 goals scored, 36 goals conceaded.
If you look at Arsenal’s 2003/2004 season after they had played 44 games the record was this:
30 wins, 10 draws, 4 defeats, 90 goals scored, 36 goals conceaded…
It’s almost scary…
If someone don’t believe me, please look it out and you will find out i’m right!
By the way, except from the 2003/2004 season Arsenal has never produced more points up to this point in a season since the 3 point system was introduced!
Come on you Gooners!

Walcott deserves a start upfront I think. Bendtner and Adebayor are similar and they really need to like each other alot for them to work together which they dont. I am abit dissapointed with Ade’s teamplay since he has become the main striker. He plays for himself abit too much for my liking. I hope that Walcott continues scoring

Off topic:
ITV have decided to show AC Mila vs Arsenal on ITV4 whilst showing Manchester United vs Lyon on ITV1. This is about the 4,000th time that they have shown the Mancs in preference to us, and it has pissed me off so much that I sent the following message to the relavant email address (dutyoffice@itv.com):

Dear Sirs,
I would like to formally complain about your decision to air the Arsenal vs AC Milan footbal match on your minority channel, ITV4. You have obviously decided that, in whatever circumstances, it is always better to show ANY match involving Manchester United on your mainstream channel ITV1, and that Arsenal’s games, whatever the opponent, are intrinsically less important.
I would be grateful if you would confirm this as your corporate policy, such that the broad brotherhood of Arsenal fans can then commence to boycott your channels.
I would also like to point out in support of this being an utterly ridiculous scheduling decision, that the same publication that gave me the information, the respected Radio Times, chose to focus three paragraphs on previewing the Arsenal game and only one on previewing the much less interesting Manchester United game.
It is difficult to conceive of a more important Arsenal match than a finely balanced tie against the reigning European champions. Although perhaps we could expect to see an Arsenal game on ITV1 just as long as Arsenal draw Manchester United in the next round!
I am aware that this is not the first occasion of such scheduling decisions, and that similar complaints have been received by your organisation on many occasions in the past.
I request a formal reply and look forward to your response.

Yours,

xxxxxx

Could I please ask all righteous (or riotous) Arsenal fans to consider making an identical or similar complaint, and can I ask the blog-master to consider taking up the above as a really bloody annoying ongoing issue that questions should be asked about. Cheers.

I have the same feeling that Walcott could be a menace up top with ade but i recon the prof will opt for hleb behind ade. Ill be happy with that though because hleb is outstanding in that role. If this is the case then walcott may start on the wing with diaby on the other.
What are the stats for walcott and bentner ole gunner? my impression was that bentner was on top in that one (relative to starts) but you are right – they have both been underwhelming!! Maybe walcott is turning the corner though.
3 – 1 to the arse. Come on u reds!!!

Bentner’s scoring record is not better than Walcott’s this season. I think Bentner has quality and would eventually come through but I have to say his actual goalscoring impact for us this season is underwhelming.

Still I agree he should start. But then so should Walcott on the left perhaps.
