On Friday, Andy made shapes on pages using tangrams and we had to fill in the shapes. The shapes were of rockets, houses and people.
It took us a little while but eventually we got the hang of it.
Me and Jordan D worked together. It was fun.

Eduardo seals Arsenal comeback in Liege

The Croatian, who had a two-game ban for diving overturned on Monday, kneed in the winner for the Gunners who trailed 2-0 after five minutes.
Nicklas Bendtner and Thomas Vermaelen also scored.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "It is always inevitable with Eduardo. "He is a guy who can always turn up on crosses because he has that anticipation. "He gave the ball away for their first goal and we were caught cold by a team who were really ready and started out of the blocks at full power. "Standard played like a cup final tonight with full commitment. "When you go 2-0 down after five minutes, you know you have a big task in front of you. "We fought back with a goal just before half-time and then, in the second half, the game dropped a bit in physical intensity.

"When they got tired, we got set-pieces and took advantage of them.
"We had a lot of players missing tonight through injury so this win shows the strength of our squad and the spirit we have."

The result and the way it was achieved was a massive boost for Arsenal, who had lost their previous two games against Manchester United and City.

Wenger added: "When you are at a big club, you cannot afford to have too many defeats on the trot."

The Arsenal boss claimed the decision to award an early penalty when William Gallas brought down Milan Jovanovic was harsh.

Yet the Belgians moaned that the Gunners' leveller should have been ruled out as Alex Song seemed to handle the ball on to defender Vermaelen, who tapped home from close range.

Wenger added: "The penalty looked harsh but I have not seen it again.
"As for our equaliser, it was impossible to see from the bench."

Liege boss Laszlo Boloni blasted: "They had good help from the referee. Two players were offside and there was also a clear handball from Song."

Adebawhore ban and Eduardo overturn

At last there is a little more optimism amidst the last couple of weeks dissapointments. Firstly, the classless adewhore's double charge from the F.A for both Violent and improper conduct (understatement) will definitely bring him some match ban's namely the Manchester derby at the weekend. City will surely be hurt by their numerous losses in attack with Robinho, Tevez and now Adewhore's exclusion will leave them with just bellamy and santa cruz as viable options to take on a fired up utd fresh from their comeback at spurs and looking for revenge. I don't want to waste anymore time talking about city or adewhore so on to some other good news.
Uefa have today overturned Eduardo's 2 match ban for diving and I must admit it was a surprise to me that they did considering it looked like He was being made an example of but hey, i'm not complaining. I hope that the start to the season is just a blip on the radar and the boys will be back to winning starting tomorrow night against Liege who we should take out our recent frustrations on with a big win!

Rob rage over Manu stamp

FURIOUS Robin Van Persie has let rip at Emmanuel Adebayor, raging: You set out to hurt me on purpose.

The bloodied ace reckons he was lucky not to have been BLINDED during Man City's fiery clash with the Gunners.

Van Persie was left clutching his face after Adebayor lashed out during City's thrilling 4-2 win.

And he laid into to his former team-mate for deliberately smashing his face.
He fumed: "I am sad and disappointed by my former team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor's mindless and malicious stamp on me during today's match.

"We are both professional footballers and I know that the game is physical, I too have made hard and sometimes mis-timed challenges but never with the intention of hurting an opponent. He set out to hurt me today.

"I knew he was aiming for a collision because he changed the angle of his body to allow contact to be made.

"He moved backwards when his natural momentum would have taken him forward. I find that deeply disrespectful. He has shown a real lack of class today, to me and the fans.

"I do feel lucky that I have not suffered a greater injury. The contact was only centimetres from my eye."

Arsenal linked with "Super Mario" Balotelli VIDEO

The summer transfer window is now just a memory but we have already been linked with some potential replacements for the future namely Inter's Balotelli. Known in Milan as "Super Mario" the italian international has ben singled out by Wenger as a class act. Although the next transfer window is a while away, Balotelli's many run-ins with boss Jose Mourinho has seen him as a possible departure from the San siro.
I must admit I haven't seen alot of him but what I have seen is pretty impressive and he looks as if he could be another diamond in the rough that Wenger could mould into a Top player. His main problems have been his disciplinary record but I seem to remember Van Persie had the similar problems but has since put them behind him. Anyway Have a look for yourself and see what you think?

Fast is not enough, Walcott - VIDEO

Since it's been quiet on the premiership front due to the international break here is a video to enjoy in the meanwhile.

Bendtner aims to grow with Gunners

Nicklas Bendtner is determined to go on to bigger and better things with Arsenal after committing his long-term future to the Gunners.

The 21-year-old striker, along with young Brazilian midfielder Denilson, has agreed a new deal at the Emirates Stadium club."It means a lot that I can commit my future to Arsenal because I have a great affection for this club," he said.

Manager Arsene Wenger has long championed the potential of his young side, and Wednesday's announcement follows agreements to secure the continued services of Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie as well as fellow youngsters Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs.

The Gunners may have added only Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen to the squad over the summer, while selling Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City, but still impressed during the opening games of the new campaign - the only loss a narrow 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford.

Following the departure of Adebayor, Bendtner has looked to cement himself in Wenger's attacking plans.

Bendtner chalked up some 50 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring 15 goals.The 6ft 3in frontman is determined to continue his progression.

"I've been here for five years now, and my development both on and off the pitch as a player and person is thanks to Arsene Wenger and the team here," he added.
"We've got a group of players that is capable of achieving great success, and I am really excited to be a part of it."

The Transfer Window is now SHUT

After two months, the transfer window has today slammed shut. What a transfer window, eh?

Obviously the big spenders in the Premier League were Manchester City, spending over £115 million. Mark Hughes was certainly given to freedom to spend money left, right and centre, building almost a fantasy football team in the process.

It seems the majority of football news in Europe has surrounded Real Madrid this summer. The Spanish giants have spent nearly a quarter of a billion pounds on the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Kaka. Many football betting experts believe Real may be the team to beat in the Champions League this season and personally, I agree with them.

Elsewhere in the transfer window, Tottenham completed a transfer deadline day deal, bringing Portsmouth midfieder Niko Kranjcar to Fratton Park. Kranjcar became the second Portsmouth player to join Harry Redknapp at Spurs, following the arrival of Peter Crouch earlier this summer.

No more signings! Shame on you Wenger! and UEFA

I'm sure I echo the sentiments of the majority of Arsenal fan's who are severely dissapointed at Arsene Wenger's lack of backbone when it comes to yet another transfer window display. The bitter pill to swallow is not just that we didn't sign anyone but also that we seemed not even close to doing so. I could be far more understanding if we were interested in a player and tried to sign him but it fell through or couldn't be agreed etc but we have just limped through this window with only Vermaelen at £10m (though he's good). I noticed that even the bottom clubs have spent near that without a wink and we still remain bloody scrooges.

Wenger has now laid all his cards on the table and by not signing anyone could seal his fate come the end of the season. The fact that he believes we have enough to compete this season with a currently weakened side and YET AGAIN lack of experience makes me worried he has lost it. Don't get me wrong I'm not expecting a transfer spree but our injury record alone not only the African Cup of Nations wold be a smart move to keep the squad fuller in case of emergency. You just have to look at Tottenham's activity to show you our lack of ambition. Why didn't we have a punt on Niko Kranjcar, he is a solid experienced midfielder and would have been a cheap yet beneficial addition to the squad.

Arsene Wenger has no excuse if we fail to deliver this season and he has had on many occasions, the option to improve or squad but Time and time again has failed. I am very, very, dissapointed with the club and yet again we have shown ourselves to be weaker in the eyes of our rivals. Thanks a fucking bunch Arsene you prat, I will no longer believe you when you say you are willing to spend money on this club you have let down your fans and you're club Shame on you, If we fail TO deliver this season I'm afraid to say I want WENGER OUT and he will have no one to blame but HIMSELF!

On another angry point, Eduardo has officially been charged with a 2 match European ban despite an apparent written defence from the club. The charge is ridiculous and has opened up a black hole of paperwork that can never be filled. I hope UEFA is happy that they've mad all this work for themselves. With this charge standing I expect to see more players charged for 2 matches I.e. the usual suspects Drogba, Rooney etc as they have the highest diving pedigree in the premiership.
