One more game to go

Robin van Persie has backed Arsenal to recover from their miserable start to the season and begin climbing the Premier League table.
Arsene Wenger's side endured a summer of turmoil with the departures of key midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri to Barcelona and Manchester City, respectively.
And they have struggled for form on the field too, with just seven points garnered from their opening seven fixtures in the Premier League to sit 15th in the table.
An 8-2 drubbing at Manchester United was followed by an embarrassing 4-3 reverse at Blackburn and in their last outing the Gunners suffered a 2-1 reverse at the hands of local rivals Tottenham.
But captain Van Persie insists there is no need to panic and is confident Wenger and his players can get back to winning ways soon.
Not good
"I have every trust in the things we are doing within the club," he told the Sunday Mirror.
"There is only a fine line between winning and losing. Just look at our last match against Spurs. We could have won that game with the chances we had. There is no need to panic for anyone.
"Our start is not good. I would have felt better if we had won the derby. We didn't and right now there is a negative feeling. But I assure you, it is not all that negative.
"It is up to us, players and staff, to sort it out on the pitch."
Treasure
Van Persie's own future remains the subject of much speculation, with the Holland international reiterating that he is not looking too far ahead at present.
He added: "I am not going to make any statements about my future. Not now, not for a while.
"I've been at Arsenal eight years and that is quite extraordinary these days. Which is why I treasure this. What my future will bring, nobody knows.
"I can understand people are curious, but I am just dedicated to everything at
Arsenal right now.".
bye
Anzhi are after him

Arsenal captain Robin Van Persie sells house as rumours regarding his future build up – Premier League Update
Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie has add more doubt to his future at the Emirates, as the player has now gone on and sold his house.
The player was previously caught stating that he wasn’t sure of his future at the moment and that he would decide what to do, when the time was right. That being said, the player’s contract is set to run out in the near future and the time for him to decide what to do is now or never.
The striker has been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Manchester City and from the looks of things, he could potentially be on his way out sooner, rather than later.
Van Persie believes that he has spent a long time with Arsenal and despite winning a few trophies with the team; he seems to have not achieved his full potential.
Manchester City are currently looking to offload Carlos Tevez, who seems to have problems of his own with the club. As a result, the team has now turned to Van Persie are being the ideal replacement for the Argentine forward. According to rumours, the Manchester based club are going to make an offer for the Dutch striker in January and will be looking to include Tevez as part of the deal.
It is uncertain if Arsenal are going to cave into City and their offers for the player, but what can be said assuredly, is that Van Persie might just be looking to push for the move.
The fact that the player has sold his house in London, is a massive clue as to what he is planning. At the same time, his former teammates seem to be having the time of their lives at the Etihad Stadium and perhaps the Gunners captain is now looking to end his career on a high.
All in all, it is now a wait to see just what Van Persie has to say about his future, since all we have at the moment are rumours to get by on.
