Vermaelen on scoring/defending
We have renewed the Rumours and Transfers and from now on it will be known as The Reporter.
New changes:
You have the section divided into rumours and pieces of news. You can add photos to the news and rumours. If look carefully, each news that contains an image will have a small icon next to it referring to the image.
Classification of news and rumours:
The classification of news and rumours will be based on two criteria: number of votes and ancestry. The latest and the most voted news and rumours will be displayed on the top. If for example you observe that at the end of one week a news or rumour a lot of votes goes below another article with less votes it will be because it is not so new. In any case you can choose between looking at it in this order, only the latest, the most commented on or only news or rumours.

Inside the section, on the left you will find the "Upload news" botton.

Vermaelen on scoring/defending
PIECE OF NEWS
Thomas Vermaelen has warned Arsenal's fans not to expect a glut of goals from him this season - because clean sheets are his priority.
The Belgian defender burst onto the Premier League scene last term with a thumping header on his debut at Everton and went on to score five times in his first 11 appearances for Arsenal. What's more, they weren't your typical centre-back strikes: Vermaelen fizzed in a long-range effort against Blackburn and found the top corner with a curler against Wigan.
The 24-year-old ended his first season in English football with a highly-creditable eight goals and he knows expectations will be high when he ventures forward this term. But Vermaelen is happy to swap the odd spectacular strike for a long run of clean sheets - the true currency of a title-winning defender.
"I know the fans are expecting goals from me and I hope I can score some this year but for me it is not the most important thing," he told Arsenal TV Online in an exclusive 'Spotlight' interview.
"It sounds silly but as a defender you are happier after a 6-0 win with the clean sheet than if you have scored one goal but you concede two.
"Maybe for some people they are not happy to hear that but for me the most important thing is to defend and to defend as a team as well, and then we will get further as a team.
"If we defend first then we can win games. After that we will see."
