Eduardo Fitness Test / Pre-Match Plans

The weekend is finally here and the Premiership will Kick off at noon tomorrow hopefully with a win for Sunderland over the spuds. Eduardo is the next player who is doubtful for Sunday. Adebayor was ruled out today and Wenger told arsenal.com that Eduardo will have a fitness test prior to the Fulham game. Wenger also said Gilberto is unlikely to feature until September. If one thing will inspire the Gooners it is Fulham’s inexperienced manager Lawrie Sanchez, he said that due to Arsenals lack of investment we will not challenge Manure or the Chavs this season.

It has been confirmed that Johan Djourou will go on loan to Birmingham until the new year. I think Djourou has enough to offer the Arsenal first team so I recon he’ll sail into the Birmingham team. Old Steve Bruce sure likes our youth team!! This should keep him up to match speed in time for a return when Eboue and Toure go on their ACN holiday.
The Daily Mail say Arsene is committed to Arsenal, Wenger told them “I am highly committed to the club, I have shown that many, many times in my life and I don’t think anybody can question that. “We are talking and usually when we talk, there is always a positive outcome. At the moment nothing is done, but hopefully soon.” This is all very positive ahead of the new season. Wenger was talking at his first pre-match press conference.

Wenger also told the media he does not feel under pressure to sign any news players because he says he feels Arsenal are strong and we do not need any more. Wenger said,” If something comes up we have the funds to do it, but we don’t have a special need.” and he also said, “I don’t go into crazy markets.” Perhaps he is referring to the Scum’s purchase of Bent for £16Mil.

The plans are in full swing for the match on Sunday. The usual watering hole for the Gooners loudest and proudest opens at 11am sharp, the Rocket, is the Met Uni bar on Holloway road. They are providing selected beers at just £2.40 a pint. After the game the Rocket will also be open showing Brum grab a win against the Chavs (or at least give Petr Chech a rough time, Reading next for them!). After the game Arsenal are encouraging people to stay, at Block 31 the bar will the open for an hour after the match. Pints are just £2.50 and some Arsenal ex-pro’s will be in attendance to entertain. Worryingly there is also a Tom Jones tribute act booked to perform!! That will drive everyone away for sure.

Come on you Gunners!
