"Choose Me".

Today's blog is named after a song by the late, great Mikey Dread and it may well be what Arshavin sings to himself when he thinks of our manager. The player wants to join us and it is up to Arsene to go and get him now. He also wants the no. 10 shirt which is currently owned by Gallas but I'm sure he can have it in the summer.

The youth team played very well in beating Wolves 3-1 in the FA Youth Cup last night and Henri Lansbury was particularly pleased with his contribution and he reckons it was his best game for us since missing 6 months last year with glandular fever. He is another player who could make a big impact in the first team next season and I hope he gets the chance to do so. Steve Bould has said that Jack Wilshere was man marked by Wolves last night and he reckons it was good for him and that he may have to get used to it. He played in the Bergkamp role and seemed to do very well there. Speaking of the Iceman he has said he won't rule out a coaching role at Arsenal at some stage. I'm sure he could teach our players a great deal as he was a class act. Jay Simpson scored for West Brom last night in their FA Cup victory at Peterboro and he appears to be playing very well for them.

In transfer news we are linked with Bullard & Hangeland of Fulham yet again and also Inler of Udinese again and 1 new player to me - Agelo Obinze Obgonna of Torino. If we sign him the club will make a fortune on the lettering on jerseys but how are we fans supposed to pronounce his name. That's it for today.

Here's young Jack's Bergkampesque goal for the reserves last season.
