Big doubts
Arsene Wenger is an eternal optimist and he hopes Cesc Fabregas, Alex Hleb and Gael Clichy will return Saturday for the trip to Aston Villa.
Realistic, there are big question marks on all three, especially the Spanish midfielder who injured his hamstring against Seville on Tuesday.
Fabregas is likely to face a fitness test, but Wenger admitted on Friday its medical experts do not share his hopes. Meanwhile Clichy (thigh) and Hleb (hamstring) have been described as having "a slight chance". Mathieu Flamini is back but Robin Van Persie (knee) are still missing.
"I do not know how long it will be for Cesc," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online, on Thursday afternoon. "We hope it will be very, very, very short, it will possibly be OK for Saturday. However, the medical staff is not optimistic about this. The worst case for him realistic is 10 days.
"We have a slight chance to get Gael Clichy and Alexander Hleb back. Mathieu Flamini will be available. Sure, Van Persie is still out."

Stadiums
The expansion of Highbury was restricted because the stand east had been indicated like building enumerated by II of category and the three other stands were close to the residential properties whose owners opposed the expansion. These limitations prevented the club from maximizing the income which forms to them domestic could have brought in recent seasons.

Arsenal's Crest
Goodie:) I'm Michael, the biggest Arsenal fan, I just wanted to write about the history of our pride's crest. Royal Arsenal's first crest, unveiled in 1888, featured three cannon viewed from above, pointing northwards, similar to the crest of the Borough of Woolwich. These can sometimes be mistaken for chimneys, but the presence of a carved lion's head and a cascabel on each are clear indicators that they are cannon. This was dropped after the moved to Highbury in 1913, but in 1922, the club adopted their first single-cannon crest, featuring an eastward-pointing cannon, with the club's nickname, The Gunners, inscribed along side it; this crest only lasted until 1925, when the cannon was reversed to point westward and its barrel slimmed down. In 1949, the club unveiled a modernised crest featuring the same style of cannon, the club's name set in blackletter above the cannon, and a scroll inscribed with the club's newly adopted Latin motto, Victoria Concordia Crescit (meaning "victory comes from harmony"), coined by Harry Homer, the club's programme editor. For the first time, the crest was rendered in colour, which varied slightly over the crest's lifespan, finally becoming red, gold and green.
Because of the numerous revisions of the crest, Arsenal were unable to copyright it; although the club had managed to register the crest as a trademark, and had fought (and eventually won) a long legal battle with a local street trader who sold 'unofficial' Arsenal merchandise, Arsenal sought a more comprehensive legal protection. Therefore, in 2002 they introduced a new crest featuring more modern curved lines and a simplified style, which was copyrightable. The cannon once again faces east and the club's name is written in a sans-serif typeface above the cannon. Green was replaced by dark blue. The new crest received a critical response from some supporters; the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association claimed that the club had ignored much of Arsenal's history and tradition with such a radical modern design, and that fans had not been properly consulted on the issue
next time I'll write about whole clubs' history. enjoy reading:) GOGO Cannoners
