Cesc Fabregas is proud to have been an Arsenal player

After Spain's 1-0 win over Holland in Sunday's World Cup final, Cesc Fabregas dedicated his World Cup win to Arsenal and the Gunners' fans. But the Arsenal Captain sounded like not completely convincing when questioned on whether or not he would remain with the London club for next season. See what you think of his quote:

"This is for the Arsenal players, the Arsenal fans, for the manager and all his staff.

"I have had lots of texts and Blackberry messages. My phone is full.

"I had a text message of congratulations from Arsene Wenger. He said I deserve it. I just think this is for everyone at Arsenal who helped me get to where I am now.

"I am really proud to have been an Arsenal player."

Cesc spoke about himself being an Arsenal player in the past tense. Or, is that possible he spoke mistakenly because he isn't good with the tenses?

Wenger impressed by Park Ji-Sung's quality

Park Ji-Sung has had a fantastic career when you look back at it but it's strange that some football fans think he is not good enough to play for Manchester United or even a Premier League team.

Now let's hear the professor Arsene Wenger - person who knows football, how he thinks the quality of Park Ji-Sung...

"I know that the Korean players in England are doing very well and of course it excites a little bit your curiosity," said Wenger. "The Korean players have done one important thing. There are very few Asian players who have made it in Europe and especially the Premier League but the Korean players look to adapt very well."

"He [Park Ji-Sung] made his name in Eindhoven first in the Champions League and when you play against him he is a very hard-working player who sacrifices for the team but as well has some good skills. He has scored some important goals - unfortunately against us! I am convinced by his quality, he has a top-level attitude."

Lukasz Fabianski at fault for two Porto's goals

Porto won Arsenal 2-1 at the Estadio do Dragao last night as two 'school boy' goals gave away easily by Arsenal keeper Fabianski. Everyone is now thinking Arsenal need a new keeper including Arsenal fans.

101greatgoals also recently listed Lukasz Fabianski's top five goalkeeping bloopers in Arsenal career.

1. Burnley vs Arsenal


2. Arsenal vs Chelsea


3. Stoke City vs Arsenal


4. FC Porto vs Arsenal (first goal)


5. FC Porto vs Arsenal (second goal)


Maybe it's time for Wenger to sell Fabianski.

Despite the defeat, I still think Arsenal have the quality to beat Porto at home in the second leg and advance to the next round of Champions League.

Emmanuel Adebayor back in Arsenal shirt

Manchester City striker and Togo captain Emmanuel Adebayor was wearing Arsenal shirt in his Sky Sports News interview on 12 January 2010.



The former Arsenal striker, who ran the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of Arsenal fans and stamped on Robin van Persie at Eastlands, describes how he is feeling after the terror attack on the Togo team bus in Angola. There is also have rumour that Adebayor is set to make Arsenal return after he wears Arsenal polo shirt on TV interview.

Later on he explained why he wore Arsenal polo shirt wearing Manchester City shirt: "I realised this morning when I woke up that I was wearing an Arsenal shirt yesterday. What happened was that on the Angola border, we left all our baggage on the bus and ran away. So I had nothing to wear and the first person I asked gave me that shirt. I didn't even realise what I was wearing. Even yesterday, instead of going to my room to sleep I went to the wrong room. Everyone is confused about what happened. In our heads we don't know what we are doing."



It is understandable the Togo national players are confuse after the terror attack. I'm doubt that how they going to concentrate on 2010 African Cup held in Angola under this situation. Anyway, thums up they decided to play for the victims in terror attack.
