Arsenal's Park allowed to delay military service

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- South Korea is allowing Arsenal striker Park Chu-young to delay his compulsory military service for 10 years.

South Korea's Military Manpower Administration said on Friday that Park's 10-year residency visa from Monaco means he can put off his service until 2022. He played for Monaco from 2008-11.

The 26-year-old Park was expected to begin his service either this year or next year. All able-bodied South Korean men are required to serve two to three years in the military.

Park was captain of South Korea until recently.

Nice, think of the bench time he could amass with us.

ffs, sell him and Chamakh to Anderlecht like that rumor said.

I just found out we are not playing till Wednesday, this is good news for the guys to get the rest they need especially RVP. Everton will play so on Wednesday will have tired legs and hope for few red cards.

Mori Masatoshi on Ryo: "He is the best youngster in Japan and is already second only to Keisuke Honda in terms of being the biggest star. "

I suppose it wouldn't be hard to become a star in the eyes of the Japanese fans when you're playing in one of the most marketed and watched leagues in the world.

12% of Arsenal's goals in 11-12 have been headers - lower % than any season since 2005-06. Just lower than 13% 09-10 & 10-11

Five of Robin van Persie's 92 Premier League goals have been headers

Hope muamba is ok

Sky Sports News say he's in 'stable' condition.

Update says he's 'critically ill' after being admitted to the heart attack center at the London Chest Hospital. This is all Bolton are disclosing at the moment for the sake of his family's privacy.

Thank you guys!

Arsenal youth team 04/05. Fabregas, Muamba, Djourou, Lupoli & Bendtner all feature - http://bit.ly/A3IQmb (via @Stuart_PhotoAFC )

I remember back then the likes of Arturo Lupoli, Matthew Connolly, Ryan Smith and Kerrea Gilbert were good talents who were marked as future first teamers. How things can change.

If anyone is interested, Lupoli now plays for Grosseto in Serie B. Connolly is a QPR player. Gilbert plays for Shamrock Rovers in Ireland and Ryan Smith plays for Chivas USA in MLS.

Sean Clohessy, who was also in that pic, plays for Southend United. One of their best players, too.

Jan Vertonghen scored today for Ajax as de Godenzonen beat ADO Den Haag 2-0. > http://bit.ly/wHFAXk

If Arsenal make next season's Champions League they will definitely be in Pot 1 once again.

Owusu Abeyie was good as well then he lost his way.

Who is Aaron Samuel ? i dont remember him

Berbatov available this summer, would you take him?

If RVP stays and Podolski arrives, would we need him? Would he want to play every week in his next club?

Just thinking.

No. Would rather take a young dynamic Joel Campbell.

RVP: yesterday it was mothers day in the UK. So happy mothers day all you mama's. Hope you have been spoiled. I started the day by trying to make breakfast for my wife with the kids. And the rest of the day we have spend with our friends. Have a good day everyone.

Well, it's a bit disjointed and off-topic .
