Welcome Home Martin

Just saw this BBC image link from www.arsenal-mania.com and it really seems like Martin Keown is back with us. I would love to have him imparting some basic defending skill to the young Senderos. I would love to see Senderos come back strong and tough. That Drogba would've fallen flat to the ground had Keown been playing. Anyway, here's another excellent article from Arsenal Mania.

It appears that our beloved Ice Man is really having his final season as he said that he thought the time is right to quit playing and start watching from the stand. There is only one Dennis Bergkamp. We can never replace such a genius. And he is not only about football skill, his professionalism is something his apprentice, Robin van Persie, needs to learn more. There is no one in the squad better than Robin, technically, to replace Dennis. If the lad can stay away from unnecessary off-pitch problems he will be part of a very terrifying young squad Wenger is building at the moment.

In my wild imagination, we will one day play 4-4-2 diamond with Quincy and van Persie leading the line. Cesc would play behind them while Hleb and Reyes would constantly bombard the opposition from both wings. I've yet to find a worthy holding midfielder in our squad though. Could that person be Flamini? Attacking problem? What problem?

I think Henry has come up often enough to restate his commitment to the club and therefore he deserves the right to stay silent over the latest rumour which doesn't concern me a single bit.

Things are going well with the Reserves meanwhile as Lupoli scored hattrick in our 4-2 win against Ipswich Town. I expect to see him featuring in our League Cup and FA Cup matches this season. Campbell and Garry also played in the match.
