The Arsenal winger Theo Walcott thinks that his team’s demolition of Porto at the Emirates last week will have sent a message to Man Utd that the Gunners will not be so easy to beat if they get drawn against them in the Champions League.

“We’ve had disappointments in this competition over the last couple of years – Manchester United in the semis last year. We need to build on results. Hopefully, if it comes to it we’ll learn from our mistakes and try to go one step further.

“We were very disappointed in the games we played against United. We want to do something for the fans. Read the full article here

It was originally revealed six months ago that Arsenal scouts have been taking note of the Uruguayan international goalkeeper Fernando Muslera as a possible long term replacement for Manuel Almunia.

It seems that Wenger is now stepping up his interest, as as Muslera is locked in contract talks with his club Lazio. Todays Mirror maintains that “Arsenal are poised to make a move” for talented youngster.

The Italian giants will fight to keep the 23 year-old at the Stadio Olimpico, but Lazio are not far away from the relegation zone, and may have trouble persuading Muslera that he can find more personal success if he stays, not to mention the superior wages he would earn at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger was very happy that his team took the three points away from Hull City this evening, but he wishes that Arsenal didn’t keep winning after the 90th minute!

“It was a very big win. When you play a difficult game at midweek there is a lot of mental tension. And we came here and won today, so of course a big three points. We know what is at stake every time you go away like that. We needed the three points and we got it after 90 minutes, exactly like at Stoke. It tells you that it was a difficult game, but as well that we have desire and mental strength and we never give up. And for such a young team that is great.” Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger won’t think that his Arsenal team are not worthy Champions if they lift the title, despite losing all four games against the other two challengers, Chelsea and Man Utd, and he thinks that the Premier League as a whole has improved considerably from last season.

“In the Premier League this season the top teams have lost more games, but that’s had no ­consequences in Europe.” Wenger said.

“We have not been weakened ­internationally and that means the Premier League has maybe become stronger.

“People say we have easier ­fixtures than Chelsea and United because they play each other. Read the full article here

The Hull City defender Jimmy Bullard may have only played five games for the club this season, but now he is fit and ready to help Hull fight their way out of the relegation zone, starting with the Arsenal game.

“There are still 30 points to play for this season, so there is a long way to go. The key is showing belief.” Bullard said.

“I saw Arsenal earlier in the week so know what we could be up against. But we have done well at home so far this season so Arsenal will also know what they are up against. Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger has come out in praise of Emmanuel Eboue, who has targeted by the Arsenal booboys last season, but has come back fitter and strongerto win the fans back over to his side.

Wenger noted that Theo Walcott has also suffered criticism lately since his return from injury, and he should continue to do his talking on the pitch.

“I believe it is like Theo.” said the manager. “Eboue was criticised last year and came back with the right attitude. Put the right performances in and people will love you. Read the full article here

Arsenal had to face Porto in midweek without their captain Cesc Fabregas, but Arsene Wenger was full of praise for the midfield that controlled the game without him.

Samir Nasri moved infield to take up Fabregas’s role, and was extremely successful, but with the Russian maestro Andrei Arshavin and Thomas Rosicky alongside him, Wenger thinks they outplayed the Portugese in the middle of the park.

“It is very important when you fight in Europe to have a good technical level,” said Wenger.

“All these players give you a guarantee of good technique. To master the midfield is important. We have a game based on quick passing movement that demands good technique.” Read the full article here
