Taylor Made Up When Ed Scores...
Birmingham City's Martin Taylor has said he can't wait to see Eduardo on the scoresheet, and that he's already been to see the Croatian in hospital. He said: "I will be really happy on the day when I see he is back in the Arsenal and Croatia line-up and when he is scoring goals again. There are people who look at it very differently. Getting death threats is difficult to cope with and it has been difficult for my family. Hopefully people will move on but this week has been difficult. I went to see him (Eduardo) on Saturday but, unfortunately, he was still recovering from an operation, so first thing on Sunday morning I went to the hospital and he was really good to see me..."

"I was mindful of this and I thought maybe he wouldn't want to see me, which would have been fair enough because of the trauma, Although there was a language barrier, I just said that I didn't mean him any harm at all and that I hoped he made a quick recovery. He took it on board and nodded. I was just really glad we could communicate. He is obviously a really strong man. Since then, I have read in the papers that he would be happy for me to visit him. That's something I'd like to do..."

Did Eduardo even know that he'd been?! He nodded, and then said in another article, 'he'd be happy for Taylor to visit him...'

Excuses in Early...
Vice president of AC Milan, Adriano Galliani has admitted he's worred about fatigue as they line up to face us on Tuesday: "I'm quite worried because we have played more than everyone..." probably forgetting that Arsenal have played more games than anyone in England as well. FACT (not often you get those on ArsenalShorts). Galiani also admitted that Kaka would probably be fit for Tuesday's game.. there's a surprise.

Wenger: Players 'Affected by Injury'...
Sir Wenger has admitted his players are struggling to get over Eduardo's injury last weekend (you may have heard about it) "We have been affected by it and it was very disturbing, I believe, personally, that overall we don't know how to feel. We are not in a club where hate is a culture in our club. We want to get good things out of the game. We are always focused to get magnificent sides of the football out of our club. Therefore I don't know really what his intent was and he has to deal with that now. I do not want to be involved in that..."

RVP Back...
It's a phrase you hear as often as 'Tottenham will definitely finish above Arsenal this season' or 'it's time Spurs beat Arsenal in a worthwhile competition' but RVP is BACK. Sir Wenger has admitted that the Dutchman is in full training, along with Johan Dhourou. AW said: "The news is good, it is Robin's first time back in full training. He looks quite good but I won't rush him back because I have made that mistake before. The other one who is back is Johan Djourou but he is not in the squad tomorrow..."
