    Sol Campbell is on the reserve squad to play West Ham at Upton Park tonight. This literally comes out of nowhere.

    I repeat, Sol Campbell will start in a reserve match later today. :ghoti:

    Clicky.

    Arsenal won the game 4-2 with Campbell playing the first-half. Had a decent game, no errors to speak of.

    Re: Campbell named in Arsenal reserve team

    So he looked like he could keep up? Why was he withdrawn after 45?

    Re: Campbell named in Arsenal reserve team

    Probably just a fitness thing. No other reason from the match report.

    Re: Campbell named in Arsenal reserve team

    I saw highlights, but nothing special. I just heard that his experience showed a couple of times during the game and left little room for criticism.

    Essentially all we're asking of him.

    Yep, that article (post #4) is a really good read on his move back to Arsenal.

    As long as he's here to play reserves, and provide some mentoring to the youngsters; I'm fine with him coming back.

    Re: Campbell named in Arsenal reserve team

    The youngsters at the back are already talking about how having Campbell around will be good for their development.

    Re: Campbell named in Arsenal reserve team

    How many fucking players say that?!

    I hope our young guys (Fran Merida, I'm looking your way) are seeing all of these former Gunners expressing regret.

    Arsenal is THE franchise in England, period.

    Re: Campbell named in Arsenal reserve team

    Nah it's cool, I appreciate them. Saves me the effort of having to trawl the Internet for them. :D

    I'm not sure about Sol being the piece that pushes us over the line, but you never know. The rest he could give Gallas, and Vermaelen could give them that extra bit of freshness to make a last ditch tackle in an important match.

    Nice positive spin anyway.

    I just feel like he would be a good morale boost in the changing room.
