... if we fail to win anything this season. Well, every cloud. Finally, Gallas’ partner in crime, Mikael Silvestre, has appeared on Arsenal.com in what can only be described as a gorilla suit : How can a man, literally dressed as a monkey, be talking about hoping to become a coach down the line? God. Our club is a bit embarrassing at the moment.

... year. It was disappointing to see the manager pass up that opportunity but with the William Gallas-Mikael Silvestre partnership not really working and Kolo Toure surely needed on the right just now it seems he might be looking towards Djourou for a solution. Needless to say, I would be all for it. Anyway, that’s it in another short and late(ish) blog. Enjoy your day and stay positive...

... thinking who’s won things, lost things and played many games the only player I see is fucking Mikael Silvestre. In that Arsene Wenger link above he explains the loss here: “I think we were not, as a team, sharp enough to dictate the pace and be dominant in the fight [against Aston Villa]“ And here he also says this: “We were beaten by a team who were sharper than us. You can watch...

Its very rare (I cant genuinely think of a time) when a unit on a pitch is lifted directly from a Club and transcribed to the World Stage, but that is exactly what Raymond Domenech is planning to do with France. Bacary Sagna, William Gallas, Mikael Silvestre and Gael Clichy have all been called up to the France squad and will play in tandem with one another to prove their international...

They also lost because, with William Gallas and Mikaël Silvestre, they had a central defensive pairing lacking in aggression and pace while Kolo Touré's star is on the wane. And because in Nicklas Bendtner they had a striker who appeared incapable of providing the kind of focus to the attack that the impressive Gabriel Agbonlahor carved...

Today brings the news that Mikael Silvestre has re-joined Sagna, Gallas and Clichy in the French squad, with Raymond Domenech pledging to play the quartet “so nobody will criticise us”. Whilst I’m not sure that the four men represent the solid unit Domenech envisages, there is an obvious advantage to picking defenders who play alongside each [...]

... lurked. Young then missed his penalty in the 20th minute after earning the spot-kick himself. Mikael Silvestre had cleared only as far as Young after a deep cross caused chaos, with Theo Walcott sliding in when the Villa winger surged back in the box. Almunia went the right way with the weak penalty but it still required a brave tackle from Gallas as Young chased the rebound. Villa...
