Ok, I didn't realize there was a league wide rule now. I thought it was through arrangements that clubs made between one another prior to loan deals. Thanks for clueing me in Jens...

There was, but the FA have changed the rules starting this season. To be honest i think it's a load of rubbish that any loan player should be barred from playing against his club - some managers like Wenger use it to their advantage ala Pennant last season.

Other than being cup tied, I think that a player should be able to play in every match they can. Too many damn rules...
Norwich V Arsenal
Before I start my preview on the Norwich game I would like to reflect my views on the Blackburn game. In the first half Blackburn put us under some pressure, but Lehmann had a good match by making some important saves. Blackburn frustrated for the first half, butin the past when teams use to try and frustrate Arsenal it use to work, but the way Arsenal are playing at the moment is that even when teams come with a negative attitude which is just to defend and try to get a couple on the break, Arsenal are still able to cut through these defences. I thought Fabrages was AMAZING! I know that has been said a lot but this guy is da bomb. He doesn’t get nervous at all, and plays some beautiful passes. Their was a real buzz about him in the whole stadium from a lot of the Arsenal fans. Anyway, we scored three nice goals, and it must be said, that I love when Henry is so unselfish, and puts it on a plate for other players like Reyes for the third goal.
So we broke the record and we got a lot of plaudits, but it’s time for the Arsenal to get their heads out of cloud nine, coz Norwich will give us a tough match. I have watched all of their first three matches, they are a very hard working side, and do not look fazed by the premier league at all. Against Crystal Palace they were unlucky after Johnson scored a goal for palace out of the blue. Against UTD, they were unlucky not to get a draw. Bentley’s shot was amazing which hit the bar unfortunately. They were 2 – 0 down yet they still pressured UTD and made it 2 – 1. They really pressured UTD once it was 2 – 1, but unfortunately they could not grab a point. Against Newcastle they were 2 – 0 down at St James Park, but they showed great spirit to come back and make it 2 – 2 with Bentley scoring a good goal although Given should have saved it.
Bentley will unfortunately not be able to play against Arsenal as it would have been his chance to show Arsène Wenger what he can do first hand, because of the new rules.
Below is a list of who I think are Norwich’s key men:
Huckerby – Key Man 1
Svennson – Key Man 2
Helveg + Doherty – Key Men 3
Green – Key Man 4
Below is the team I would put out for this match:
Lehmann
Lauren Toure Cygan Cole
Ljungberg Cesc Gilberto Reyes
Bergkamp Henry
I know a lot of Arsenal fans will think this is an easy match but Arsenal will have to work for the three points, and they will have to be focused, and hopefully the gunners will prevail with all three points.
going to lock this as we aready got a thread on Norwich
Saturday
and transfered onto this thread which I did not do(my computer mucks up on doing transfers from one post to another)

I think that it will not be a very exciting game after all not all games can be.
I wonder if the game will be high scoring.

Wouldn't have seen it anyway - Cygan hardly qualifies as the best.

I think Reyes should start upfront alongside Henry, he was brought here to play in that position and their partnership needs to develop.

He's injured.

Well we might as well turn this into a predictions thread. I predict we will see this lineup:
Lehmann
Lauren Toure Cygan Cole
Pires Gilberto Cesc Reyes
Bergkamp Henry
Subs: 1. Almunia 2. Ljungberg 3. Clichy 4. Flamini 5. Hoyte
I've put Pires on the right, but I don't think he will stay there, he will move around as he always does, as will Reyes. I think we will win 4-1. Henry, Pires and Reyes twice for us, Huckerby for them.

3-0.
I like your team, but is there not talk of Vieira being back for this one?
Ah... I see after the international break.

I can see Bergkamp starting this one once again with TH14, would like to get another look at Pennant but probably off the bench. Freddy on the right with Pires or Reyes on the left.
A clean sheet will once again be important to increase confidence within the back four.
i predict a 3-0 win.

I was thinking Clichy could be on their as a midfielder, but RvP may be back so he will probably be ahead of Clichy.
