Good to see Mannone getting games and keeping clean sheets. Hull are in the playoffs (I think) so he must be doing alright.

Is there any point in Denilson being in Brazil when it is their off-season?

[Mario]

I'd prefer Denilson stays there where he can't cause us damage!

Reserves beat Wolves yesterday 3-0. Yennaris, Ozyakup and Philip Roberts with the goals.

Chamakh, Park, Arshavin, Jenkinson, Gibbs and Benayoun all to play for the reserves tomorrow? This is why Arsenal TV need to show live reserve games!



Marouane Chamakh and Andrey Arshavin relegated to Arsenal reserves

Exclusive: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has relegated flop forwards Marouane Chamakh, Park Chu-Young and Andrey Arshavin to the clubs reserve ranks this week, after telling the out-of-favour trio they must work harder if they want to feature in Sunday's crunch North London derby with Tottenham.

However, while the knives are clearly out in force, the Frenchman maintains that Arsenal can rescue their season by securing Champions League football for next term, but recognises that he needs to revitalise several highly paid yet under performing members of his team first.

They include struggling forwards Marouane Chamakh and Park Chu-Young, who featured as a strike duo in the Carling Cup earlier in the season, but are now pencilled in to start against Norwich City reserves on Tuesday evening, with the mandate that they must improve if they want to be considered for Sunday's North London derby with Tottenham.

Wenger is also set to throw Andrey Arshavin into the second string squad, should he pass a fitness test, again with the notion that he must show dramatic improvements in the coming months if he is to stay at the club, while Yossi Benayoun and Kieran Gibbs have also asked if they can play, to put themselves in contention.

The decision is seen as Wenger's last throw of the dice in a bid to transform Chamakh, Park and Arshavin, with the hope that they will see the climb down as a challenge, ahead of a vital run of games for the club.

Elsewhere, Arsenal are expected to give a run out to Carl Jenkinson against Norwich, as he completes his come back from a stress fracture to his back.

^ I think this is excellent from Arsene. They need a kick, and a hard one to finally perform for us and know the value of the shirt. But I feel a bit sorry to Park, he hasn't been given any chance to see what he is made of.

[Alex Hadjicharalampous]

That'll do wonders for their confidence.

The only reason I can think of for why he's doing this is to give them some game time of sorts. It's not like it's any of these players who disappointed us at Sunderland or Milan. If anything, the only time I saw an Arsenal player look interested in Milan was when the camera showed us the disappointment in the Ox and Arshavin's faces while they were warming up on the sidelines after a Milan goal.

[jason.mandryk]

A run out for the reserves on one occasion is not going to "transform" anyone. But it's good that they are getting game time.

A concering amount of "did not feature" and "unused substitite" for our on-loan starlets lately...

[janelle.noel]

Would be nice if Jenkinson came through nicely

[Mike York]

Reports have emerged that Rangers are expected to send on-loan Arsenal defender Kyle Bartley back to London this week.

The Scottish Sun reported that Bartley — ill and injured for Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat against Kilmarnock — is gearing up to return to the Emirates.

He is contracted until the end of the season but is already tied up with Arsenal until 2014.

Kyle Bartley has dismissed this on his Twitter page.

[Mario]

Eastmond has joined Wycombe on loan until the end of the season. Thankfully that should be the last we see of him.

Jernade Meade
Nico Yennaris
Martin Angha
Ignasi Miquel (c)
Yossi Benayoun
Oguzhan Ozyakup
Marouane Chamakh
Ju Young Park
Andrey Arshavin

[Stephen Mitchell]

Norwich away tonight? I might go, time permitting.

[Sami Rockfeller]

Will be an interesting match given all the first team players that will be playing, it's a pity Arsenal don't have the facility to provide a stream for foreign audience.

[Stephen Mitchell]

Decided to go, just got my ticket. On a side note, it's only £3 - that's great, isn't it? How much does it cost to see an Arsenal reserve game at home.

I'll post a brief scouting report tonight. Is Eisfeld injured? I didn't see his name in the squad.

Any idea if tickets are left??? If so....I am Sooooooooooo doing a bunk out of my last hour at work!!! Pmsl

[Stephen Mitchell]

No idea, should imagine so. I got mine from the shop in Castle Mall, but I think you can buy them at the ground too. Kick off is 7pm.

It's free. Youth Cup games cost £3 though, £1 for kids. And Eisfeld got a knock in his 1st game so he might still have it.

[Jenks1981]

Wish this was streamable online would be nice to watch rather than the first team at the weekend, which im not writing off...just not excited about it.

[ralph avedikian]

Park scores !

[ralph avedikian]

Any links for the goal ?

[Ravneet Singh]

Afobe on for Chamakh.
