Bugger-all to report on bar some repetitive noises from the Board, from Wenger.
Oh! And injury updates! How we love those. The Derby County game is looking a little precarious with Hleb, Senderos and Rosicky all added to the injury list alongside Gallas, Lehmann and Eboue. Some serious reshuffling will be taking place, with Walcott the [...]
