This sucks. Walcott was injured in England training, getting ready for a pointless international friendly. He's set for surgery soon, and if there was a player aside from Cesc who we couldn't afford to lose, it was Theo.

Wenger, please sign someone in January. I feel like all we can do is hold on until reinforcements can be brought in.

Here we find ourselves, just over a quarter of the way through the season and the usual four-horse race seems to have already become a three-horse race.

Today is a day of rest for the Gunners, and with the injury list beginning to read more and more like a first XI, it's a welcome sight for a team that is already looking weary. All you can do is shake your head and wonder why the boss was so stubborn as to not bolster the squad. I'm not going to squabble about Hleb, Flamini or Gilberto, but the likes of Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs providing depth ahead of the latest CL fixture, it's a growing concern.

Optimism reigns after this win? Not yet. Three points is three points, especially after a shaky start. But it wasn't as easy as the final score might indicate. Plus, Kolo Toure will now miss an undetermined amount of time with a shoulder injure. That could mean the starting centrebacks, Gallas and Toure, might not feature midweek.

Bosingwa got behind the defense, running on to a nice lobbed pass from Frank Lampard, and lashed the ball just inside the far post.

I defy anyone who loves football to say they did not admire some of the beautiful play displayed by the Arse at the weekend.

I know there are times when they can appear quite mediocre and don't quite get it together. But when they do they really do.
