Humility, I admire you for that, wish I could feel it.

Agreed, he is the main man at the moment, playing with confidence. He looked to have no fitness problems whatsoever against Malaga, I wonder what he's done.

Played for South Africa during the week.

LONDON (AP) - Arsenal's injury woes mounted ahead of the season opener away to Everton on Saturday with backup goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski sidelined for two months as he recovers from knee surgery and defender Johan Djourou out for a month.

Manager Arsene Wenger said Friday that Fabianski had surgery because of cartilage problems, leaving the Gunners short of options with reserve team goalkeepers Vito Mannone and Wojciech Szczesny as the only understudies to Manuel Almunia.

Djourou is also sidelined with a knee injury and midfielder Abou Diaby has a groin injury. New signing Thomas Vermaelen will be available to make his competitive debut at center back after recovering from a hamstring problem.

Midfielder Tomas Rosicky is out for two weeks with a hamstring injury and Theo Walcott (back) will also be unavailable for Saturday's match at Goodison Park. Rosicky's injury comes on the heels of the Czech international's comeback during the preseason after nearly 18 months out with a recurring hamstring problem.

Arsenal is also without midfielder Samir Nasri, who broke a bone in his right leg during preseason training in Austria, for up to three months.

Kalamera from Crete! Sitting on the balcony at 5.45am (working on a cryptic crossword destined for publocation in the FT) where I unexpectedly get connected to someone's mobile internet connection.

Getting a 4-wheeler motorbike for the day and ending it the day in the Captain bar by the beach where there are 3 big screens! Can't wait for the game (7.15pm here). Haven't seen any other Blues here yet (other than the lower case ones - i.e. Chelsea). At the hotel Aloi - run by two very laid back Bavarians who you actually feel guilty disturbing when you want a beer - there are two Leeds fans (one from Plymouth, the other from Oxford - it's his son that supports Chelsea) and of course me, a Blue from north London!

I'll post this before I lose the connection

Yeah well, you just wait until we win the Champions League this season and I'll be like HAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAH - WERE BOSS AND I TOLD YOUS ALL.

The Champions' League? This season? :huh:

 

[FC Brugge]

The Champions' League? This season? :huh:

I want some of what he's havin

 

[FC Brugge]

Dodgy keeper, eh?

so i say we sacrifice osman to completely take-out almunia and then we're stuck with the reserves to the reserves. should be no problem for saha and jo to knock a couple in

 

[Gerard_Francis]

Everton to get an early 2nd half goal and then nail it with a late goal in injury time. 2-0 win for Everton

 

[walkingdeadblue]

its a tough call for today. im gonna say 1-0 to the good

 

[Screech]

1-1, Jo and Arshavin imo
