That’s a fair comment! I think Wilshere could be a more fitting Captain if he retains his previous form. He has the technical ability and a massive love for the club!

Adrian,

Fear not. GIE was running up a tongue in cheek Post to keep us amused and give us something to talk about.

TV is excellent, and we all recognize that, but he does have a tendency to let his enthusiasm get the better of him occasionally.

Why? Well I imagine that he wants to give the midfield/forwards his support and to put some oomph into the game, which as captain is admirable, but it can leave him exposed.

No big deal. If he needs to adjust this there is no one better than Bouldie to help him do that. TV is fine!

I think many people are starting to forget all the contributions Vermaelen has made consistently the past few seasons just because he hasn’t performed very well for the past 3 games or so. It’s funny how fast fans can change their opinion on Vermaelen, from the best defender in the team to an inconsistent at best defender. Every player has bad patches, its not that uncommon. I think that Vermaelen definitely deserves the captaincy as he has been around the club for quite some time now and is one of the last few remaining players that have been at the club for more than 3 seasons. You can’t question the fact that Vermaelen has passion too and wants to win.

It’s just like a fairytale story isn’t it? A youngster working his way up to the club that he has loved since young and eventually improving leaps and bounds to the extent that England and Finland are fighting for his loyalty. Without a doubt Jenkinson has caught many of us by surprise with his drastic improvement this season, so impressive has he been so far that it is also going to be very hard for Wenger to bench him when Sagna gets back. The fact that Jenkinson is “one of us”, a die hard fan with strong passion is quickly making him a fan favorite too. However, Jenkinson is still 20 and IMO he is too young for captaincy even if its a couple of years time. He still has lots to learn, and if I were to choose, he’d be the next captain after Wilshere.

Kelsey, hope there is some good news following your appointments today, all the best wishes to your daughter.

As for Szczesny and his ankle it’s a worry. We don’t seem to be very good at fixing ankles.

Morning all.

I am afraid I also won’t be around today as my daughter is seeing a specialist this morning and may be in hospital all day for further tests.

I read an interview with AW that Szsney could be out for a further six weeks with his ankle problem.

Hard game today and the least we must aim for is a point.

Rasp, Peaches
I’m spending the next few days walking in the woods of New England (“Fall” colors and all that).

It means I won’t be able to do a Post on Sunday – but I will do one next week once I’m back at a laptop (I’ll try to do one on Tuesday that you can have available from Weds).

I’ll try to keep an eye on the WHam game via the iPhone but I suspect reception will be variable.

Here’s to a good win for the lads (and us!).
