Looking at guys like Gallas and Adebayor, I think Wenger has a lot of patience with people when maybe he shouldn't. Some guys are mentally tough, others just mental.
I think Gallas has been great this season, no? He seems to of been a little less loopy after being stripped of the captain's armband.
Our defense hasn't been very good and I wonder if he's been enough of a leader on the back line, but in terms of his behaviour he's been A-okay. Its hard to defend in front of a totally unpredictable and uncommunicative keeper, too.
Yes, I feel like a solid 'keeper could do wonders for us. There is plenty of talent out there, I don't understand why Wenger doesn't buy it.
+1 Almunia is so inconsistent. Amazing saves one minute, schoolboy errors the next. He's never been any good on crosses though.
My missus is sick of me yelling at the TV: "Either come, or don't come! There's no in between! And if you're going to come, you've got to get to it! Doesn't matter if you punch it, or catch it; just deal with it! Otherwise, stay in the goals!" Honestly, every single match.
Theo is a week or two away, not more, according to Wenger. "Not more" sounds like a direction, not a prediction. A direction such as, "suck it up and get back on the pitch, Theo."
Theo Walcott & Denilson cleared to play and expected to be in action v Bolton. Bendtner expected to be activated v Aston Villa. Good news all around.

Injury News: Its better than you think! Long Term (No surpirises of course) -RVP -Djourou -Gibbs Unknown Return Date but with minor injuries only -Diaby -Merida Returning soon -Bendtner (Villa) -Sagna (Villa) -Nasri (Chelsea)
So Samir Nasri has a minor concussion, Andrey Arshavin has a pulled hamstring, and Alexander Song has a medial knee ligament problem. Seriously... what... the... fuck. Can we not play one game without having half our team sent to the ICU? Thankfully we don't play again until Wednesday.
