Now to see if I can listen to the ATVO commentary while watching on ESPN360. If any San Diego Gooners are looking for where to watch a game on any given weekend, I'd be happy to provide info/directions, etc. Dirk Tim,

No Carlos?! Count me worried and also wanting more information. I've got a big personal stake in Carlos Alberto Vela as he helps me relate to my local community of Mexicanos here in the mountains of California and their football concerns (generally Chivas vs Club America and the dramas of La Seleccion in this World Cup year). I have to say that when I see him play I feel that he's learned A LOT from Cesc and the Carling cup (especially against a better team) is a great opportunity for him so it saddens me that he's out. I worry for his Arsenal future. I don't like fascists either and I can't imagine Arsene does. The official site is saying that we were watching Aquilani for a couple of years while he was at Roma. Perhaps his political views kept us from moving for him? Or maybe we're cheap or we have enough in the way of perpetually injured players or it would've "killed" our young midfielders (Diaby, Denilson, Song)....

I don't like Aquilani. He's a fascist, a real one, with a marble bust of Mussolini in his hall. Is Vela injured or does his absence from tonight’s squad signal a promotion?

I don’t like Aquilani. He’s a fascist, a real one, with a marble bust of Mussolini in his hall.

I believe strongly that Arsenal want to keep certain things secret (lineups, etc) and that he violates that. Also, he writes articles like the one you mention, which is utter crap from every angle and simply implausible, illogical, click-whoring. I'm not trying to take him down or anything, more power to him, I'm just calling a spade a spade. @Mia, scrubbing my comment is common and I have no problem with that.

According to arseblog his source is the players, or one of them, Jay Simpson, who's a close friend. I'd guess what he's reporting are rumours current among the kids that Barca want to give us a taste of our own medicine, which is perfectly plausible as they - or the Spanish media - are extremely bitter and twisted about Cesc and Merida. But you're right about the contract situation - it won't happen, hence the Spanish annoyance. I had a mixed reaction to the story: I'm in favour of a young English kid having the confidence and ambition to go to another country, learn another language, another way of life, another style of football - they're so insular and wimpish as a rule - I just don't want it to happen in this case as we'd be losing a talent. Why are you so down on him? Because he scrubbed your comment? True, that wasn't on! Or because he writes sentences like bindweed?

I bet Manuel Pelligrino will be wishing he was back at Villarreal and vice versa come January. Right now, you can't give Huntelaar away. I bet Juande Ramos now regrets not staying at Sevilla.

Can we take this kid out of the case and polish him up once and a while. No Almunia on the team sheet either. Gary Neville: "et tu Alex?" What the hell is Notts County hiding? How refreshing that Steve Bruce will not let bygones be bygones w/ Birmingham City after they crapped all over him. Copying our stadium design is the sincerest form of flattery ;)
