It was terrible, awful, a terrible day at the office. The players were nowhere near it... absolute charlatans. Arsenal were too good, I thought we might have rocked up, new manager bounce, atmosphere rocking, couple of dodgy games for Arsenal, went into the game with a bit of hope, boy was I wrong.
Arsenal have been dealt an injury blow ahead of the north London derby with key defender Gabriel Magalhães ruled out "for weeks." The 27-year-old, an ever-present this season in a Gunners side who have conceded just five Premier League goals, suffered a thigh injury on international duty with Brazil. He sustained the problem on familiar territory, limping off during a friendly against Senegal at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium over the weekend.
