Claret Everywhere...
AW Not Happy...

Burnley 1 - 1 Arsenal...
If you'd have said four points from 2 tough away games up North against Liverpool and Burnley, I am sure Sir Wenger would have snapped your hand off. Not literally of course as that would have been common assault, but metaphorically speaking. But following a frankly BRILLIANT win over Liverpool at Anfield, the stage was set to push on from that, with a tricky away tie at Turf Moor. However, these plucky Norvern teams rarely read the script, and even after an early Fabregas goal, Burnley could have and should have beaten us.

Talisman and inventor of the telephone Graham Alexander belted home the equalising penalty, and the Clarets had a lot more chances to win it than we did. Ah well, not much we can do any more, back on the horse for the visit of the Oompah Loompah Phil Brown and his men this weekend as we look to avenge last seasons defeat by Hull City...

Wenger to Man City...? er...

Injury Update...
Looks like Fabregas' busted hamstring isn't quite as bad as first thought. It's thought he WILL miss Saturday's game with Hull, but will hopefully be back in contention after that. It's expected that Denilson should return to paper over the cracks...

AW Not Happy...
Talking of fixtures, Sir Wenger was less than happy about our current busy schedule. Hull get a nice week off ahead of our trip, and he's not happy: "The basic problem of the Premier League is to organise the fixture in a normal way, they organise midweek games in a week where you have the Europa League already. That means you know that some teams will not play. Next week is a free week..."

"There is no Europe. Some teams do not play at all but we play Sunday and Wednesday away then we must play Saturday against Hull, who have not played the whole week. It is the same for Burnley. You should organise fixtures on a day when you know teams are capable to play fixtures..."

He also added the guy who plans the fixtures, must have been to 'a very special school...' Genius.
