El Hadji Diouf has announced he will no longer play for Senegal due to organisational issues. The Bolton striker, who has been capped over 30 times and recently captained Senegal, brought a halt to his international career on Monday. Diouf, 26, explained he is quitting Senegal because of his dissatisfaction with the way the national team is currently run.

Bolton's Diouf admits deliberately getting sent-off

El Hadji Diouf has sensationally confessed that he has deliberately got himself sent off in the past in order to fulfil his international obligations.

Bolton Wanderers star Diouf quit international football earlier in the week, before surprisingly being included in Senegal's squad for a friendly against Guinea.

He has been accused of not showing loyalty to Senegal in his home country and, in an attempt to dissuade critics, has now claimed that when playing for his club he has, at times, deliberately attracted a red card in order to leave him free for international duty.

"I have got myself sent off while playing for my clubs, in order that I could go off to play for the Senegal national side," Diouf is quoted in the News of the World.

"I have refused lots of chances to play for my clubs so that I could answer my international call-ups and play in the African Cup of Nations."

Arsenal play at home to Bolton in the Premiership this weekend.
The bookmakers have Arsenal as overwhelming favourites. This makes Bolton dangerous I would say.
They have been one of our most difficult opponants over the last couple of seasons. Even though fat Sam is gone they still can stifle creative teams and Anelka is always trying to prove that he is a legend in his own mind.

They haven't conceded many goals in their last 4 games... It will be a rough game, but not as tough as it would have been with Fat Sam's dirty tactics involved.

I'm going with 3-1.

D. Stankovic · 10-17-2007, 02:41 AM

Bolton should be easy for Arsenal to beat! 3-1 here as well.

St. Anger · 10-17-2007, 10:35 PM

Bolton are now without a manager. Sammy Lee has been released from his contract (he took over from FAT ugly Sam).

Arsenal will definitely win now.

Oscar Cardozo · 10-17-2007, 10:39 PM

Im sorry but I want Vaz Te to score for Bolton and Arsenal wins 3-2 not 3-1 sorry that is just my prediction

i predict 3-0
van persie 2
fabregas 1

St. Anger · 10-18-2007, 01:57 AM

I think Adebayor will score a goal too. 3-0 sounds about right... but Anelka will want to prove to himself that he can still play football, so they might just score a goal.

Amo-te Benfica · 10-19-2007, 05:10 PM

Bolton normally gives Arsenal trouble. But this is not the same Bolton. They have serious problems I think Arsenal will destroy them 3-0.

Arsenal boss Wenger explains Lehmann axe

Arsenal's Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has been left out of their squad to face Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has decided to stick with Spaniard Manuel Almunia as his number one and has not even named the German as his substitute goalkeeper.

"Almunia will play and I have decided to stick with the same team and keep the continuity going," Wenger said at his pre-match news conference on Friday.

"In my opinion we have three world class keepers and only one of them can play. I have got 25 players in the squad and they all expect to play."

"The player (Lehmann) is disappointed but there is a lot of competition for places. He is an intelligent guy and knows what he has to do," added Wenger.

"Jens is a world class keeper but I had to make the choice for the continuity of the side."

Lehmann was expected to return after recovering from Achilles and elbow injuries, having played for Germany against Ireland in a Euro 2008 qualifier last week.

Freddy Adu · 10-20-2007, 09:44 AM

Archie Knox has been placed in temporary charge for Bolton's game against Arsenal on Saturday.

Bolton parted company with Sammy Lee on Wednesday after a disappointing start which sees them sitting 19th in the Premier League.

Knox, who was brought to The Reebok Stadium as a coaching co-ordinator in the summer, will take charge of first-team affairs while Lee's successor is sought.

The former Scotland Under 21 coach will be assisted in the job by first-team coaches Ricky Sbragia and Jimmy Phillips.

Favourite

Paul Jewell has emerged as favourite to take over The Trotters, while the likes of Chris Coleman, Adrian Boothroyd and John Collins are also in the frame.

But Bolton are not expected to rush the appointment of their next manager so Knox may be in charge for more than one game.

Wilhelmsson woe

Meanwhile, midfielder Christian Wilhelmsson is doubtful for the Arsenal trip after suffering an ankle strain in Sweden's draw with Northern Ireland.

Wilhelmsson was stretched off but Bolton have confirmed the injury is not serious.

Amo-te Benfica · 10-20-2007, 10:47 AM

Anelka injured for this game, massive blow for Bolton.

Freddy Adu · 10-20-2007, 11:03 AM
