Things are likely to go a bit quiet, as we await the France-England game at the weekend - and speculate on which team will contain more Arsenal players.

But the tabloids (see The Sun or The Star) managed to snatch a few moments with new signing Sylvain Wiltord - who isn't keen on waiting for his first taste of glory.

'I would love to win a trophy in my first season with Arsenal. Either the Premiership, or else the FA Cup - which means a lot in England,' he says. What, not bothered about Europe then, Sylvain?

'I am delighted to have joined Arsenal. I love the way the crowd gets behind the team. My first impressions are hugely positive and I expect to experience great things with Arsenal this season.'
