Today It has been confirmed by Arsenal that young defender Johan Djourou has signed a new long term deal at the club. I think this is brilliant news because the kid has amazing potential and at one stage was a player the club kept very quiet about as they were worried other teams might snatch him off us, such is his potential. He has been getting better and better and is probably the long term replacement for William Gallas. Lets hope he lives up to expectations!
Wenger has suggested that he may put out his youngest side ever tomorrow, Wilshere is expected to start whilst players like G.Hoyte, Merida and even Frimpong set to appear;
“There is a possibility [it will be the youngest side ever],” said Wenger. “In the first team there are many players around 20. In the Carling Cup we will keep a few in there but the side will be more between 16 and 19. At Arsenal you can say 20 and 21-year-olds are the experienced players.
“You are likely to see Gavin Hoyte, Abu Ogogu, Aaron Ramsey, Mark Randall, Jack Wilshere, Fran Merida and Carlos Vela. Maybe Bendtner will play. Song, Djourou and Lukasz Fabianski will be the experienced players. But you will have players like Emmanuel Frimpong and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas so it will be a very young side.”
You have to wonder whether it will be a bit too young a side to overcome what will be a robust Sheffield Utd but it will be a fantastic test for them and I'm pretty sure at 15 quid a ticket the Emirates will be full!
Wenger has also said that he is happy to be building a side in a different way from other top teams such as the Mancs and Chelsea;
“When you are not on the transfer market you are a little bit ignored at the start of the season because the attention is focused on the big signings,” said Wenger. “Most of the time, big signings mean you are favourites.
“We have gone a different way. We are trying to build a young side with a cohesive way to play the game with a culture of football we like.
“We were close last year so there is no reason why we should not be in there again this season.
“Today we had Denilson 20, Fabregas 21, Bendtner 20, Walcott 19, Song 20. When those players fight for the title one year you can hope they will be better the next year.
“We are more robust than people think we are.”
I think these players will do him proud and get us silverware at some point because he sure as fuck deserves it, the man is a genius and a total and utter legend. I for one, admire him. The youngsters will get better and Denilson looks like he could bag a few handy goals this season, he has two already, and a fair few assists too.
King Kolo has also highlighted the importance of away wins this season, and he is dead right;
“We know every time we come away from home we need to do well,” he said. “We lost a lot of points last season and we knew we had to work on it.
"We just have to play as well as we do at Emirates Stadium. There we are on top but sometimes when we go away we just don’t start well. We have been working on it and we hope to keep going.”
Snatching draws and wins away from home will put us right up there and if we get a good 7-8 game run going now of wins we will be in a fantastic position and i really fancy us to beat all our rivals this season, we are more than capable of it.
There is also a fantastic free video on the clubs website with Dennis Bergkamp's 10 best goals, they are all absolute stunners!
What a player he was. Now I'm getting all nostalgic!
Sorry for no real post yesterday, i was rushed off my feet.
Keep reading and looking forward to tomorrows game!

well, we're beginning to get so used to living life this way now. I mean, a 100+ suicide attacks and 1000's killed in less than a year.
People just have to live their lives mate, people have to go out to buy groceries and stuff. Everyone's thinking, okay, today's the day I'll die in a sucidie attack as well.
I don't know what else to say bro.

pay no heed to the comments below, people are sick.
Anyways, in the video, there was first an explosion in the cabin of the truck )the suicide bomber probably detonated the switch to the 600kgs of explosives) and then blew himself up with a grenade, the guards ran away but then came back to try and extinguish the fire, after a little while the truck exploded and all of them died. Needless to say, these guards are extremely poor people. What fault is it of theirs?
