Cesc at Schools For Hope Charity event

Cesc recently attended Mikael Silvestre Schools For Hope Charity Dinner. This fundraising dinner was hosted in order to raise money for children in Nigeria.We have put two photos from the event in the latest photos section.
Many other Arsenal players attended. You can get pictures of the other players at the event here
Thanks crazygal_miLa for the tip
Arsenal 4-0 Blackburn Rovers

It feels great scoring lots of goals XD The first goal came in the second minute, with Arshaving pressuring Ooeijar, who scored an own goal. Many other chances were missed, with Bendtner having a bit of a ‘mare.Hopefully his confidence will pick up for the next match. Andrey scored his first ever goal, and Arsenal’s 100th in the premiership at the Emrites- a lovely solo goal which he flicked over the goalie, at a tight angle.In the last ten minutes, Eboue came on and managed to score two. For his first, Eboue got on the end of Arshavins deflected volley. He then scored a penalty, which was rewarded after Vela was brought down in the box. (His celebrations were… entertaining…i’ve got to say, the first was my favourite. ^^)
So that is three points and fourth position. XD Match report
Cesc talks fashion

The Times had an article on some of the Arsenal players (Theo, Cesc, Song, Sagna) talking about fashion. Here is what Cesc had to say:
“[I am] very particular about what style is right for me, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. Shopping in London is great, because you really can find anything.â€
He then talks about being in a priviledged position.
“Not many people get to realise their dreams,but I am realising mine. I know I have to fight every day, and give everything, because I’m lucky to be here doing what I love.â€
Thanks to Katrina for the tip
On Arsenal.com, there was also a quote from Wenger about Cesc’s return. It’s basically the same stuff we have already heard about Cesc being hopefully back by April 4th.
“After the international break, Cesc should be back. He is very close” So we should hopefully be seeing Cesc in three matches time!

Hey crazy_miLa! Love the username!
Thanks for the article and pictures. How small does Arshavin look? Its actually quite hilarious!
Cesc looks fab as always. I am sure he has said in many interviews that he is not much of a drinker (in terms of alcohol) but I am sure he still drinks a glass or two here and there.
Great seeing the guys off the pitch, doing their bit for charity!

guys; i came across a new of Arsenal playing going to a fundraising event done by Mikael Silvestre.. Cesc, Arshavin, Adebayor, Clichy & his wife were among those who attends..
here is the link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1162422/PICTURE-SPECIAL-Andrey-giant–Arshavin-makes-big-impression-pal-Adebayors-shoulders.html?ITO=1490
One of the pic shows Cesc holding a glass of champagne.. thought he don’t like to drink or he simply don’t like alcohol??
but Arshavin looks really small & under-dress; maybe he doesnt know what to wear to these kind of events..

not forgetting Eboue; he’s slowly getting back to his form which is good for him!!
LOVE his celebrations after he netted the 3rd & 4th goals.. Arshavin juz looked at him when he danced after scoring the 3rd goal.. maybe he’s not used to Eboue’s dancing yet.. hehehe..
Song joined Eboue when he scored the penalty & they were cute in their lil’ celebration..

yeah!! arsenal is 4th!! cuz aston villa LOST to spurs!! woo-hoo!!
the game against Blackburn was superb except for a few hiccups here & there..
Arshavin was waving his magic on the pitch on that game – he’s showing why he’s the main star for Russia during the Euro 2008..
as for Bendtner; i was pissed off with him initially because of his numerous attempts of netting the goal into the net.. but his hardworking rate kinda covered up for his flaws.. hehehe.. i thinks he’s putting too much pressure on himself yet again.. drop the pressure & have fun on the pitch!! he’ll finally find his name on the scoresheets again!! :p
as for the fans who either booed or cheered for him; give him time cuz he’s only 20 & he needs alot of encouragement & support from us (the fans).. so; don’t give up on him cuz i personally thinks he’s better than Adebayor (in my own opinion)..
as for our Captain; he was in the stand watching our boys played!! he’s looking good recently.. i cant wait for his comeback!!

P.S. Rukhsana, Arshavin always celebrates scoring like that, sticking out his tongue. While Eboue does his chicken dance

What a fantastic four weekend! And I can’t believe that I’m actually grateful to the scum Spuds for beating the Villains – cos we’re at the fourth spot again!

Hey Rukhsans. I think it was a mixture of both. Although I think it was more cheering for him to get behind him.

Hi Everyone!!
I totally agree.. Arshavin did play really well. But I have to say what is it with the tongue-wagging celebration. :S
Bendtner passed the ball well and made good use of the pitch, but I think he just needs to work on the finishes as Wenger said.
Blackburn were horrendous when tackling. I could totally feel Wenger’s anger when he confronted the bench. Thank god no one got injured.
And the booing. Well, I see where the fans are coming from, but we won the game, which is the most important thing. When Bendtner was substituted, I couldn’t quite work out if they were cheering for him or for the substitution. Anyone know?

Hi walon
Arshavin did play very well yesterday.
I though apart from all the misses, Bendtner played well yesterday too. His link up play was very good. Vela and Arshavin’s link up play was great as well.
I was not happy with the way that Blackburn played. Arshavin needing four stitches on his ankle at half time, and that challenge on Almunia. That challenge was disgraceful. I don’t know how Diouf didn;t get a red. It was similar to the challenge to Eduardu last year, except this time with intent.
And that dive from Pederson had to be dive of the season. I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it.
Hi emma. Yeah. Booing doesn’t help at all. The fans have got really frustrated this season and that is how they express it. It’s not right. But look at Eboue. He came back stronger from the booing. And some of the fans did try to support Bendtner, and sang his songs to get behind him.

happy…happier…happiest………congratulation gunners for the good work.
hope villa will lost to spurs.
anyway booing is so un civilised……..they need fan support more than ever in difficult time…booing will make things worst.
