Chesney a doubt for sunday - couldnt make it up

Wojciech Szczesny is a doubt for Sunday’s game with West Brom. The Polish stopper has been nursing an injury which Arseblog News understands is a knee problem although today’s Guardian mentions an issue with his back.

The issue has been ongoing for the last month and may explain, while not excusing, his under-par performance against Norwich. Should he fail to make it, Lukas Fabianski could play his final game for Arsenal, as he will seek to leave the club having fallen behind his compatriot in the pecking order this season.

Arsene Wenger is targeting the three points necessary to secure third place and says that his team must remember they have defensive, as well as offensive, duties to perform.

“At Stoke we had a good game and offensively against Norwich we had a good game. Defensively, though, we had not the expected level. Maybe we were focused too much on winning the game and forgot that to win the game you need to defend as well”.

And after such a disastrous start to the season, the manager feels finishing third would be something to be proud of.

“It will be a great achievement if we manage to do it. I believe it would be reward for a group which has exceptional strength,” he said.

“They have come through some difficult times, always recovered and always battled. Therefore I will be extremely delighted when we do it. Let’s make sure we finish third and win our game – that is the only answer we can give. To do that of course you need a full, committed performance from everybody.

“On that front I am quite sure we will get that from our players and then we will have a very good chance to do it.”

Obviously third and the points we’ve dropped this season aren’t anyone’s idea of an ideal campaign but under the circumstances it’s about the best we could have hoped for when we lay 17th early on.

The last time it was this tight on the last day of the season was the final game at Highbury when Sp*rs were struck down by an attack of the green apple splatters, but the Arsenal manager still isn’t sure what happened.

“Frankly I didn’t know what happened,’’ he said. “I didn’t cook that day. If I had cooked more of them would have been ill!”

Should have got the result at Norwich and then this wouldn't matter.

Flappy has a great chance to prove himself to the Arsenal and to potential clubs, as it looks like this will be his last game as a Gunner. I hope the kid can go out with his head up high - for our sake and his.

Now if we can only get Denilson back from his loan spell in time for Sunday...........

Well, wouldn't it just come and slap Lord Wenger right in the face.

Three glaring errors in the last two transfer windows:

1. No cover for RvP
2. No creative midfielder signed and two sold
3. Three shit reserve goalkeepers

Luckily for Wenger, only the first two points have bitten him this season, but right on cue for the final week we have Flappyhandski ready to do his usual "how to destroy everything in 90 mins one man display act"

Oh well - he's cost us more FA Cups and Beer Cups than I care to remember so why not go the whole hog and fuck up the 3rd placed trophy as well.

F**k Off - I have never heard of a season of great acheivement when you can only draw at home versus the worst team (by a distance) in the league, lose away to the 2nd worst team in the league who hadnt won a game in ages before they beat us and then go and suffer the worst defeat in the 125 years the club has been in existance

Of course to get that 3rd place we need to get a full commited performance from all the players........is that like we seen in old shatford, in milan, in ewood park, in fulham, in loftus road ?? Do me a fcuking favour and stop spouting crap

Btw if flaps is in goals sunday you can kiss goodbye to 3rd and maybe even 4th

Which of the two would you prefer to see between the sticks Red - Almunia or Flapper ?

[N1Goon]

Flappy is going to bottle it to spite the Arsenal fans and Arsene, just you wait. He is still fuming he got dropped when he got injured and Sir Ches benched him last season.

[franksav63]

Wenger is a cretin, if proof wasn't already there over the past 7 seasons, now Wenger is creaming himself in the hope of finishing 3rd... you couldn't really make it up....

That crossed my mind, but surely this is his last attempt to make an impression ahead of the Euros, so he'll give it his absolute best.

and still cost us 3rd

[RioGooner]

Can we still have chesney minus one leg? still better then Flaps

[Resident Plastic]

It's our lasagna moment

[donaldo]

Cant we sign Mad Jens on a one game loan like last year

[TeeCee]

I never thought i'd say this but 5th place......in the long run, may be the best thing for Arsenal.
