Injuries and FA stupidity....not a lot of other news.

If next week is such a slow news week for Arsenal then i might have to skip a couple of days posting. There is such little information circling regarding Arsenal. That should all change today as we are finally 2 days away from our next game, a tough away trip to Swansea. I imagine Wenger will have his pre match press conference today and we will get some news regarding injuries.

On the injury front there are rumours that Vermaelen, Gibbs and Sagna are only 10 days away. That would be absolutely great news, especially on the Sagna and Vermaelen front as they are two of our first choice back four. I would be happy with Gibbs as well but he will obviously get injured again after 1 or 2 games. 10 days would put them in contention for the Man Utd game which would be a big ask for Sagna and Gibbs as they have been out for so long but Vermaelen could be crucial for that game. We can't get ahead of ourselves though as we have a very tough game this weekend away to Swansea. The preview for the game will come tomorrow when i know more about the squads fitness.

The FA have got to be the stupidest people on the planet. They have gone and put our FA Cup 4th round game against Aston Villa on the Sunday at 4pm. This would be alright if we weren't playing Bolton away 48 hours later. Now that game will most likely have to be moved or if it isn't moved, then we are at a major disadvantage already. I honestly do not understand the thinking behind it, when they could have easily given us the Friday night position or kept us playing anytime on Saturday and put it on TV. Anyone who has booked time off work or organised travel plans will now have to change them if the game is postponed a day. A truly shocking decision and one that makes no sense apart from the fact, the FA want more money.

A very short post today and i am going to leave it at that. A preview of the Swansea game to come tomorrow but it will be later in the day as i am off out tonight and tomorrow is a Saturday, so i cannot see myself waking up early; well not out of choice at least.
