Wenger needs to beat Grant
Arsene Wenger said that we'll get news on Fabregas on Monday. Heeeey. It's Tuesday in London already.

And the websites out there are all reporting the same shit, twisting Wenger's words from the post match interview on Sunday. That's old news ya know? We want the latest!

I think most certainly though, we will be without Fab for Portsmouth.

This is a tricky tie. When Portsmouth visited the Emirates we dismantled them. Now, under new boss Avram Grant, they have beaten Liverpool and will look to take at least a point of us too. I think we may be too much for them but there's still a lot of football to be played so we can only hope.

Statistics wise, during Grant's tenure at Chelsea, Arsene Wenger has never beaten him. Things might be different though, because it's not Chelsea we're facing. Somehow or another, Grant probably got his formula right on those occasions with Chelsea and we should be in for a tough game.

The lads know that they have to fight on, even in the absence of Van Persie and Fabregas. It will be down to Arshavin to carry the weight of the team.

By some twist of fate, Clichy and Gibbs are both out meaning Traore has had an unprecedented run in the first team and will make the trip to Fratton Park, where he went on loan there last season.

When is Clichy coming back? He seems to be out for an awfully long time. We haven't been talking about him because his deputies have been putting in good shifts. Gibbs took over for a couple of games before getting injured and Traore is doing a pretty decent job for us now. What remains is Bendtner's return. We do need his height and physicality so I hope he's close.

Portsmouth will be the last game of 2009. The transfer window then opens but I don't think we'll sign anyone until it is closing. We like to haggle a lot I think.

Here's to a win. And all those suffering from gastic flu I hope we all get well soon. It's the Cesc Fabregas fever. He sent all of us into raptures and we injured our digestive system in the process.
