    Hoping for a better result but it was always going to be a tough fixture.

    Arsenal face Olympiakos today at home. Feels like this one will be a comfortable win as the boys are back on track and will be amped-up for this one. Knock on wood.

    Koscielny and Djourou are out, along with Vermaelen, so we're likely to see Song in the centre-back position with Mertesacker, and Frimpong in the middle. Somebody's gonna get Frimpong'd tonight.

    Probably not as comfortable as it should've been with us giving up a rather cheap header in the first half. Still, a good performance on the whole, which happen's to be your mother's favourite.

    Arsenal host Marseille on Tuesday. I would be surprised to see the likes of Walcott and RVP in this game.

    I have more touch at this stage than Chamakh. He fell off like he started smoking meth or something. I don't trust him for a tap-in anymore. Sooner see Park and Ox up front.

    Chamakh is out with a knee problem.

    Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Benayoun expected to feature.

    Gibbs could return if his stomach issue is resolved. Otherwise I guess Santos will be run out at LB without much rest.

    I missed it as well, or at least the first 75 minutes. OM had a shot on goal all game and Arsenal had a couple of theirs saved, but that's all. Ultimately it looked like both teams were willing to take the draw.

    Missed the game, but sounds like the same song we've been singing for weeks. Atta'boy RVP!
