Stade de France again / Henry hindered Arsenal

Paris here we come, well done England in the Rugby. The Egg-chasing has stolen all the sporting headlines today. It doesn’t over shadow the joy we all got from seeing Casher Cole disappear down the Wembley tunnel with an injury for the National football team. Arsenal so far have come through the first round of Internationals injury free but there is still another set of games to go. Sagna started for the French as they stuffed the Faroe Islands 6-0. Lehmann kept a clean sheet for the Germans away to Eire.

Jens has said he is not happy with Almunia, “if I join a team in which No.1 goalie has been the No 1 for years and also won titles and then I fail to perform, I find those remarks disrespectful.”  Eduardo also scored again for Croatia as they kept their winning run up, he’s in a rich vein of International form, when you see him scoring in every game virtually, it is hard to see him being left out of the Arsenal team for long. Van Persie and Adebayor are fantastic together so Wenger has a tough decision to make. Maybe 3 up front when they are all fit would work especially with holding central midfield players in the centre, Flamini and Gilberto, Cesc just in front of them. Could be good to test it against a struggling Bolton side on Saturday.

Tezza has said he feel his seniority hindered Arsenal at times, no more so than Hleb in my opinion. Alex has come into his own this season, I think the pressure Henry sometimes put on Hleb was one of the reasons for him giving the ball away so much.Peter Hill-Wood has said that Stan Kroenke may join the lock down agreement put in place until April effectively giving the Arsenal board control of 60% of the club. That can only be good news for The Arsenal and us fans.
