Given that he was handicapped by a win, away to Apoel Nicosia, Carlo Ancelotti did well to deplore the Chelsea display with such feeling. There is no doubting which man is in the greater difficulty – a loss for the visitors would be a third in a mere eight league fixtures. Chelsea, though, have the challenge of regaining form if they are to win.

Arsene Wenger: A 13-Gun Salute! bleacherreport.com Oct 02 2009 09:31
Alright, so I might have previously been a little harsh on him. But yesterday, as he walked out of Arsenal`s training ground for the 4,750th time (that`s if you include summer holidays and international breaks, which, let`s face it, no one would put past him), thus ensuring he has spent more days at the helm of Arsenal Football Club than any other boss, it is fair to say that all the recent mistakes (and a shed load of bad luck along the way) must be put behind to one side, saluting a true genius of the game. A true ambassador for the game. A man who has truly changed the face of the sport as a whole, and who has changed the face of Arsenal to the world. I say all this without even taking a moment to highlight his footballing achievements. The Doubles he has won, or going 49 league matches

He said: "I`m trying to finish what I started nearly 15 years ago but we will see. I always said you go back to where you belong. I never stopped saying I love Arsenal and I will one day go back there. "How? I don`t now. Maybe as a water boy. Who knows? I just love

Arsenal's Fans Found Guilty As Adebayor Walks Free, Will They Get Suspended? bleacherreport.com Oct 02 2009 05:00
Last night the FA handed Emmanuel Adebayor a fine and a suspended two game ban, but they also decided that Arsenal`s fans had provoked him in the first place. This was the second part of the FA`s investigation into Adebayor`s behaviour during Manchester City`s 4-1 win over Arsenal at Eastlands in September. Having being found guilty of stamping on Robin van Persie`s face, and receiving a three game ban for that indiscretion, the FA met to discuss his provocative celebration. The resulting fine of £25,000 works out at one days pay for the striker, with the suspended sentence hanging over him until December 2010. The real news from this hearing however, is that the FA found the celebration of the ex-Arsenal player was somewhat justified, stating that he was severely provoked by his former f

Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen: A New Breed of Attacking Libero bleacherreport.com Oct 02 2009 01:59
I published an article on Arsenal`s Thomas Vermaelen about three months ago before he was officially signed by the club. In that article, I`ve outlined pretty much all you need to know about the young Belgian. Even back then, there were several question marks regarding his size, his readiness to play for Arsenal and in a physical league like the English premiership. Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams, after watching him on several occasions, advised Arsene Wenger not to sign Vermaelen. Speaking to Setanta he said:"I think Thomas is a very good player but i don`t think he`s ready for Arsenal.""I don`t think the punters at Arsenal would like another small one." Wenger has been monitoring the player for a few years, and after receiving several positive reports from his chie

Arsene Wenger: The Billy Beane of Football? bleacherreport.com Oct 02 2009 00:32
I have just finished reading Moneyball by Michael Lewis and I have made a couple observations: a) the book is great, b) Billy Beane is great, c) there are some striking similarities between aforementioned Billy Beane and Arsene Wenger. Speaking of Wenger, he has just become the Gunners longest serving manager. A very good excuse to write an article. For those unfamiliar with the book or Billy Beane, the book explores how a MLB GM (Beane) tries to build competitive teams on a relatively low budget. Sounds familiar? Both men approach the game or rather recruitment of new talent in similar fashion—going for what/who the (transfer)market undervalues. Because i am not really knowledgeable about Baseball I will just give examples for the football side of things. One striking example for Wenger
