The young gunners handled the top team today with much confidence today! I must say that the Man city of today is different from the last few season. With the money from Mr Thaksin sponsoring the signing of many unknown talent, they seem to be playing with much fluency and venom. Indeed, we were in much danger in the first 20 mins of the game.
However, slowly and surely, the young ones crept back into the game; led by the ever impressive Hleb and Fabregas. With Gilberto exerting much stability at the back with an outstanding captain performance in centre back position, the gunners will able to push forward in search of the winner.
When Hleb fell in the penalty area after being hauled down by Micah Richards, I thought Micah should have been sent off. However, he stayed and when RVP hit the penalty directly into Shmichael legs, I was wondering if it could be our day. Luckily, my choice of man of the match, Cesc Fabregas blasted the ball into the net from a brilliant pass from Hleb. This sent the Emirates Faithful into such a frenzy that it could have been felt in Singapore!
Go On you Young Gunners! Show the world what you can do!

Gunners: The Next Generation
What a big difference a few years have made to the Arsenal first team!
From the class of “The Invincibles”, we had world class players in Patrick Viera, Thiery Henry, Robert Pires, Dennis Berkamp, Freddie, Seamen, Sol, Gilberto to name a few. They brought us the title and an inconceivable unbeaten run that was not matched by any team in the EPL till date.
Fast forward to today, Henry has left and Freddie is the latest to leave. Will current and possibly the last Invincible, Gilberto Silva leave too? Who is recognizable from the current list of first team Gunners? One may argue that Gilberto, Gallas, Rosicky, Toure, Lehman, Adebayor are all regular players for their national team. However, you look closely, none of the current players belong to the group of special players that can turn a game around with a flick of the boot or the cross or charisma to bring the team up when the chips are down.
The current group of promising but inexperienced youngster includes the fabulous Fabregas, the free scoring Robin Van Persie (RVP), the resolute Eboue, the tireless Clichy, the ferocious Diaby, the skillful Walcott and promising Bendtner. They are young, fearless and represent the new generation of Gunners!
With the young team straining to prove themselves, they strive to replace the heroes before them. Diaby is the brooding youth that will grow into the next Viera, Clichy is very similar to the now departed Cashly Cole, Walcott is the next Pires (albeit with more speed) and the RVP idol is Berkamp.
With Wenger at the helm blending the young ones with the wiser heads, what will the future hold for Arsenal? Will we crumble from the loss of so much experience in the past few years? Or will the young ones lift themselves up to the next plateau? Will we be the surprise package of the season? I am dying to see what the kids can do when the season starts next month. Lets GO GUNNERS!

Another False Buyer?
After so many false alarm...do we have another false alarm??
Now Mr Ecclestone is not ruling out getting involved with us.. He is the F1 Supremo- Mr Bernie Ecclestone.
'I don't know too much about that, actually,' the billionaire told Reuters at the European Grand Prix when asked about a report suggesting he could be interested in the Premier League club.
'It's good if somebody is saying that, because maybe I will be approached and maybe it will be cheap,' added the 76-year-old, who considered buying into Chelsea before the arrival of Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
'If somebody offers me something that I think is good value, I'll have a go.' Ecclestone confirmed that his daughter Tamara was dating the son of former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein, who left the club in April and is a good friend of David.
Ecclestone was obviously unhappy when David was thrown out from the club and hints of 'revenge' for his close friend might also be thrown in as a reason to buy into our club.
However, there might be a small problem for his frequent attendance at Chelsea haha.
Our club's refusal to welcome Kroenke's overtures in April prompted the departure of Dein, who was sympathetic to the sale. Dein still has a 14.5 percent stake in the club.
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood said at the time that he would be 'horrified if the club were to go across the Atlantic.' Maybe Bernie offer will be more acceptable by keeping the club in British hands.
Who knows???

Arsenal Defender
We have signed a new defender. Bakary Sagna.
He can play anywhere across the defence. At 24, looks like a good age to boost the defence. Hope he will be a great addition by Wenger again.

Soccernet reports: ( What a big mouth Gallas has.... Sigh...)
William Gallas has questioned Arsenal's transfer policy this summer and wants to discuss plans for the season with boss Arsene Wenger.
The departure of Thierry Henry has been offset by the arrival of Eduardo Da Silva but Gallas has revealed that some players at the Emirates Stadium are unsure of what the future holds for the club.
Arsenal's rivals in the Premier League's 'big four' have significantly strengthened their squad for the new season and Tottenham have also been active in the market, while Wenger has added Lukasz Fabianski and Eduardo.
The 29-year-old said on his own website: 'What is sure is that several players are questioning the club's future.
'Around us, all the teams are recruiting but what is planned to compensate for the departure of Titi Henry?
'I am not at Arsenal to play for third place. It is necessary to recruit players of reputation because the young players have many qualities but the season is very, very long.
'The young players are thirsty for victories but Arsenal must obtain results, win titles in this period. If not, we will have to change policy and do the same as the other teams: recruit with more means.'
As well as compensating for the loss of Henry, Wenger is looking to keep midfielder Cesc Fabregas at the club despite interest from new Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster.
'I believe he is one of the few players in his position that can carry a team on his back, and when I say teams, I mean quality teams,' said Schuster.
It is these types of issues Gallas wants to discuss ahead of the new season.
He added: 'I will have a discussion with Arsene Wenger and certain board members in order to find out what the objectives are for the club this season and what they wish to set up to build an even more competitive team.'
France international Gallas was vague about his own future at the club, adding: 'Today I am an Arsenal player but I do not know what can occur tomorrow.'
Meanwhile, Gunners defender Matthew Connolly has joined Coca-Cola Championship side Colchester on loan for the 2007/08 season.
