  • Start gearing up for Sunday's clash with Manchester United with this photo gallery of past matches from Guardian.
  • March 13 match at Hull City has been tabbed for live television and has been moved up to 5:30 pm in England. Hull is quickly becoming Arsenal's ninth most heated rival! [Arsenal.com]
  • Pressure is growing on Arsene Wenger to make a move in the final three days of the transfer window... [Daily Mirror]
  • ...but he admits it's unlikely. [Daily Mirror, Arsenal.com]
  • There's still a slim chance Tom Vermaelen will be fit for Sunday. That would be amazing. [Daily Mirror]
  • But, if he's not, Arsene Wenger is confident in Sol Campbell's ability to contain Wayne Rooney. [Arsenal.com]
  • Sir Alex Ferguson kindly asks his supporters not to call Arsene Wenger a pedophile. [Daily Telegraph]

News Roundup 1/28/10 - The Three-Dimensional Edition

Wow, Wayne Rooney's dives are so much more life-like in 3D! Pic via Guardian.
  • Sky has announced that Sunday's Arsenal-Manchester United clash at the Emirates will be their first experiment in publicly broadcasting live sports in 3D. I intend to be drunk enough to think the 2D screen at Nevada Smiths is in 3D. [Guardian]
  • Tom Vermaelen did NOT break his fibula yesterday at Villa Park, but the extent of the injury is still not clear. He will still likely miss Sunday. [Arsenal.com]
  • That would mean that the currently unstoppable Wayne Rooney would be marked by Sol Campbell. I'd like to just see Campbell flatten him. [ESPN Soccernet]
  • Other injury notes: Arsenal will also likely be without Eduardo and Diaby on Sunday. Which means Diaby can't score for Manchester United this time around. [Arsenal.com]
  • CORRECTION: Eboue and Song are both "available" for Sunday. [Guardian]
  • Jack Wilshere is close to a move to Bolton Wanderers. I guess last week's little row with Owen Coyle and William Gallas's challenge didn't sour the deal. [Sky Sports]
  • Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand's appeal of his three-match ban for violent conduct was deemed "frivolous" and is now a four-match ban. He will not play Sunday at the Emirates. [Guardian]
