Does anyone really know what Arsenal will show up tomorrow?

It's going to continue this roller coaster of a season as we approach the crucial Christmas period, none of us have any real idea which team will turn up tomorrow or for the next game or the next. We'll certainly have a little more optimism with a new captain, a good couple of wins and the return of the odd player or two. But we won't be certain and that anxiety could spread to the players if we start badly tomorrow. The crowd at the new stadium can become quite quiet and negative relatively quickly (and it's not just at Arsenal - Liverpool were booed off on Monday despite being top and having had their best season start in the Premier League).

This is the time for patience with the team, patience with the new captain and a little bit of hope, fingers crossed (or thumb holding if you're Polish!) and just support the team.

Some odd bits of news today, apparently Ronaldo nearly signed for us. I had heard that Wenger had been looking at him but I don't know what purpose it serves to makes such comments now. Another United player, Giggs, is saying that Ramsey is Wales' future - so will Wenger adopt Fergie-like policies and make sure he's injured for every friendly.

Finally, some good news about Eduardo who looks to be on the final stages of recovery, though there may be a while before he plays in the first team but think how that Carling Cup game might have been different with him on the pitch.

Does anyone really know what Arsenal will show up tomorrow?
