Oh by the way, I'm not even worried about our defence..The fact this team we have out now doesn't even know how to keep the ball, when they have it no one is making the right runs, there is no cohesion, it's like he has 12 odd jobs put together from all different backgrounds and expects them to fit into a winning system.

worrying times.

Lansbury came on for the England U21s and looked technically sound, yet for Arsenal...Not that Lansbury is in anyway part of my worries right now...

Well from what I can tell I'm glad I didn't see this game, had other things to do.sh*t depresses me.

Lansbury looked well of the pace to be fair, that's not his true showing and could still be handy player when fixture congestion builds up in January.Frimpong was left all at sea by his midfield.Ramsey was in first gear since the kick off and never got involved, not sure what that was about but he put in a worrying performance.Chamakh never looks on the same wavelength as his team mates, he would probably be more effective if he wore the goalkeeprs kit today so he sticks out a bit more.Traore, impressed with his ability to bring the ball out of defence although his non existant right foot will make him an easy target.Jenkinson, he has all the attributes to add something but I think he's been thrown in the deep end too soon.Gervinho, he fizzled out after 60 minutes which was worrying as we need players that can do it for 90 minutes and he looks like he can frustrate his team mates.Squillachi, just f*ck off you c*nt!Vermalen was very impressive but I wince everytime he gets stuck into challenges.Rosicky put in a solid display, let down by his team mates.Alex Song is playing like he's just come off loan from Charlton, a worrying sign as he looks to be reggressive when he should be at his peak now.We did lack, Theo, Cesc, Nasri, Koscielny, Wilshere.Three of those are our heartbeat, and it showed today.

ROBIN VAN PERSIE was involved in a massive bust-up as Arsenal's pre-season boiled over.Van Persie was furious following a crushing challenge from Garay in the 40th minute and unleashed a verbal rocket at the Benfica star on the half-time whistle.Garay then shoved Van Persie before the pair clashed in front of their amazed team-mates, who ran to join in.After being dragged away from his opponents Van Persie then headed towards the tunnel before having a verbal spat with Enzo Perez, who tried to lay into the Emirates star.Both sets of players then piled down the tunnel and it seemed certain that the problems would continue outside the dressing rooms.Van Persie had needed treatment after going down in the nasty looking challenge. He did not re-appear for the second half.The Holland star had put the Gunners ahead before the ruck, slotting home early on.But Arsene Wenger's men blew a lead for the second time in a week after second-half subs Pablo Aimar and Nolito sealed a 2-1 reverse.

on Van Persie’s injury…It is an ankle problem, I don’t know how bad it is. Gibbs has a muscular [thigh] problem and Vermaelen has a slight back problem.on Wilshere’s inclusion in the England squad…They can include him as much as they want, he will not play [because of injury].
