Wenger keeps faith with youth despite '07 collapse
LONDON (AP) Silhouettes of every trophy Arsenal has won since 1930 are printed on boards at Emirates Stadium. The last entry is the 2005 F.A.

All Blacks take revenge
NEW ZEALAND, faced with the prospect of a third successive defeat for the
first time in a decade, proved that a week is a long time in rugby when they
comprehensively dismantled Australia in Auckland yesterday, avenging their
34-19 drubbing in Sydney seven days earlier and keeping their Bledisloe Cup
hopes alive. In the process they not only bailed their besieged coach,
Graham Henry, out of the tightest of corners, they also had the satisfaction
of inflicting the first defeat in six Tes...

Young Gunners shot down
IN THE first half of this game Arsenal’s young Lions roared to some purpose
and as their manager Arsène Wenger said afterwards: “We started well, we
played well, we were unlucky to concede the goal. We lacked physical
sharpness. It was the first game after our training camp and there were some
heavy legs. We lacked sharpness against a team which stole the game in an
Italian way.”

Wilshere the talk of the tournament, but goals still seem to be a problem.
All in all, Arsenal outperformed both Juventus and Madrid in our two Emirates Cup matches. The difference in each game was merely a goal: Juve got a dodgy one in the first, and we got a pretty soft penalty in the second.We played with pace and fluency, but still looked a little lost when we get to the box. At least twice in the game today, someone should have just flown in and smashed a shot on goal. As it was, we over elaborated and lost possession. You can't score if you don't shoot, I stil...
