Arsenal Football Club

[Savio]

Die Urteile der FA:

Arsenal:

Charged with "failing to ensure the proper behaviour of their players".

Lauren:

Two counts of violent behaviour for "kicking out at Quinton Fortune following the penalty award and for forcibly pushing van Nistelrooy in the back following the final whistle". Two counts of improper conduct for "confronting Ruud van Nistelrooy after Patrick Vieira's sending-off, and for confronting Ryan Giggs after the final whistle".

Keown:

One charge of violent behaviour "for striking van Nistelrooy on the back of the head following the final whistle". One charge of improper conduct for "confronting Van Nistelrooy following the penalty miss".

Parlour:

One charge of improper conduct for "confronting Van Nistelrooy after the final whistle". One charge of violent behaviour for "grabbing at Gary Neville from behind shortly afterwards".

Cole:

One charge of improper conduct for "his involvement in a confrontation with Cristiano Ronaldo after the final whistle".

Lehmann:

One charge of improper conduct for "confronting referee Steve Bennett after Patrick Vieira's second yellow card and for then persistently seeking to confront Van Nistelrooy".

Vieira:

One charge of improper conduct for "failing to leave the field of play following his sending-off, and for instead seeking to confront Van Nistelrooy and engaging in a verbal exchange with fourth official Neale Barry".

Giggs:

One charge of improper conduct for "his involvement in a confrontation with Lauren after the match had ended".

Ronaldo:

One charge of improper conduct for "confronting Martin Keown at the conclusion of the match".

Phil Neville has, meanwhile, been warned as to his future conduct after a confrontation with Lauren, but his brother Gary and Manchester United as a club are not being charged by the FA.

Arsenal, however, could now face a suspension crisis, with Lauren facing four separate counts, including two of violent behaviour, the same serious charge which is faced by Keown and Parlour.

Leider muss ich gestehen, dass ich die Urteile nicht zur Gänze übersetzen kann. Sind dies nun Sperren, oder bedingte Strafen??

Danke

Lokomotive Moskau - Arsenal

Arsenal ist ohne Patrick Vieira, Sol Campbell und Freddie Ljungberg nach Moskau zum Spiel gegen Lokomotiv Moskau gereist.

Campbell hat seit dem Tod seines Vaters nicht mehr trainiert und wird voraussichtlich sein Comeback dieses Wochenende in Liverpool geben.

Vieira und Ljungberg erlitten Verletzungen im Meisterschaftsspiel vergangenen Freitag gegen Newcastle.

Vieira zog sich eine Oberschenkelzerrung zu, während Ljungberg an einer Knöchelverletzung laboriert.

Robert Pires, Edu, Martin Keown und Ashley Cole dürften zum Einsatz kommen, sie bestanden den Fitnesstest.

Dennis Bergkamp ist ebenfalls nicht mit von der Partie, er leidet ja bekanntlich an Flugangst.

Jetzt wirds eng. Nach haarsträubendem Fehler von Lehmann geht das Spiel gegen Dynamo Kiev mit 2:1 verloren.

Jetzt wirds sehr eng für den AFC... Aber unmöglich ist es nicht, mindestens 7 Punkte aus den drei noch folgenden Spielen sind Pflicht!

Tabelle:

Dynamo 4pt.

Arsenal 1pt.

Also ich würd die Niederlage nicht nur an Lehmann aufhängen, die gesamte Mannschaft hat sich über weite Teile des Spiels unter Wert verkauft - vorne nur ein "laues Lüftchen" (ohne ihnen die ansatzweisen Bemühungen absprechen zu wollen)...

[ans]

Also ich sehe das Problem in der Champions League an der fehlenden Effizient im Sturm (zuviele Chancen werden vergeben) und der nicht mehr so sattelfesten Abwehr, wie es zu Zeiten Tony Adans war. Ein Brecher und guter Kopfallstürmer (also klassischen Mittelstürmer) ala Alan Shearer fehlt meiner Meinung Arsenal! Das wäre sicher eine Bereicherung.

Arsenal could be new Russian target

By Clayton Hirst in Moscow

26 October 2003

Vladimir Potanin, one of Russia's richest oligarchs and the country's former Deputy Prime Minister, is considering buying a large stake in Arsenal, the north London Premier League football club.

A business associate in Moscow revealed the billionaire has discussed investing up to £120m in Arsenal's new stadium development in return for a slice of the club. Arsenal is nearing its self-imposed December deadline to raise the funds for the £400m development. But earlier this month its director and largest shareholder, Danny Fiszman, admitted that the club still hadn't raised the necessary cash for the project.

Mr Potanin has yet to approach Arsenal's board or Royal Bank of Scotland, which is leading the fundraising. But one senior associate of Mr Potanin revealed that he had discussed the plan just a few weeks ago. "He talked very seriously about it - he was keen," the source said. Securing funds for the planned new 60,000-capacity stadium at Ashburton Grove is critical to Arsenal's future. The club is currently constrained by its 38,500 Highbury facility.

If Mr Potanin swoops on Arsenal he would become the second wealthy Russian to invest in a British club in just over three months, after Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea. Unlike Mr Abramovich - who considered buying Manchester United and Arsenal before plumping for Chelsea - Mr Potanin is already a fan of his prospective acquisition. It is understood he recently flew to Britain on his private jet to attend a match at Highbury.

Mr Potanin made his fortune in the mid-1990s as one of a handful of young oligarchs who bought up Russia's prized assets on the cheap, under former President Boris Yeltsin's privatisation programme.

The 42-year-old, who graduated from the élite Moscow State Institute of International Relations, took a controlling stake in oil giant Sidanco, which he later sold in 2001 for $1.1bn (£765m).

A fluent English speaker, Mr Potanin helped to bankroll President Yeltsin's troubled re-election campaign in 1996 and was later rewarded by being made Deputy Prime Minister. He is now president of Interros, a giant holding company, which accounts for 2.5 per cent of Russia's GDP. Interros has assets in mining, banking, media, property, gas and agriculture.

Under President Vladimir Putin, many of Russia's oligarchs are feeling the heat, with investigations into alleged fraud. As a result, many wealthy Russian businessmen are seeking credibility in the West. So far, Mr Potanin has done this through the arts, as a trustee of the Guggenheim Foundation in New York.

A spokesman for Mr Potanin refused to comment. A spokeswoman for Arsenal said: "We are in the process of finalising the funding. We are hoping to get the matter resolved by the end of the year. I cannot comment further"

Arsenal could be new Russian target

Und plötzlich ist doch nicht alles schlecht, was die Nachbarn von der Stamford Bridge gemacht haben.

[elGaucho]

Mir wäre weit lieber es geht ohne - Chelsea spielt sicher trotz Millionen keinen besseren Fußball als Arsenal und das noch dazu mit einer zusammgengewürfelten Truppe...

Ligacup-Thriller gegen Rotherham gewonnen. 9:8 im Elferschießen. Aber was viel bemerkenswerter war: Arsene Wenger setzte 7 Debütanten ein, darunter 2 16-Jährige. Hier die Aufstellung: Stack, Tavlaridis, Clichy, Cygan, Hoyte, Fabregas Soler, Aliadiere, Edu, Thomas, Wiltord, Kanu. Bank: Holloway, Spicer, Owusu-Abeyie, Skulason, Smith.

Es geht ja doch!!

Arsenal London FC - Dynamo Kiyv 1:0 (0:0)

Bergkamp (90. Edu) - Henry

Endlich gehts wieder. Arsenal gewinnt in einem spannenden Spiel gegen Dynamo Kyiv mit 1:0 durch in Kopftor von Ashley Cole. Das beste an diesem Spieltag war wohl das 1:1 in Mailand, denn dadurch hat Arsenal die Möglichkeit aus eigener Kraft das Achtelfinale zu erreichen!

Nächste Runde gehts nach Mailand, hier nochmal die Tabelle:

Inter - 7pt.

Dynamo - 6pt.

Lokomotiv - 5pt.

Arsenal - 4pt.
