Eduardo du Ankle
2007-08-13 23:37:00 Not as much news today after the colour of the first Premier League game. I really must say I cant stop watching Hleb’s goal. It’s more than likely the commentary that goes along with it: “Last few seconds of normal time, but there’s gonna be a lot to add on… oh, it’s a great ball in ... More About: Blogging , Eduardo
Hleb induces the Emirates Eruption
2007-08-13 02:43:00 Dumbfounded, agonised, screaming, relieving, hoping, and then sheer bliss. Who gives a damn, it was the latter state of being that we all felt come the final whistle. A late, late, late, late resurgance in the final seven minutes from Arsenal saw them start the season with three wholesome points over a Fulham side determined to ...

A Quick Post
2007-08-12 04:48:00 Finally, the day before the Season proper. For us anyway. Quick news round up, as the main post today will be the feature I’ve promised for so long, which will be planted later on. Wenger has promised a conclusion to his contract ’saga’ by the end of August. He cites it as a potential handicap to ... More About: Blogging , Post
Djourou?s off; So are the Pundits.
2007-08-10 23:25:00 Busy day today, and the Premier League starts for almost every other team, apart from us. The bastards. We’ll start off with the news that Johan Djourou has moved to Birmingham on loan until January. A debatable ‘oops’, in my opinion. From what I hear, Sagna can fill in at centreback, as can Gilberto, as ... More About: Blogging
Gallas is Captain - Blow us all down.
2007-08-09 23:43:00 This blog is being written completely in the nude, for those who would love to know. William Gallas , the centre-back of Chelsea fame, is the new Arsenal captain. Shall I say again? William Gallas, the ex-Chelsea defender, is the new Arsenal captain. The statement has been confirmed on Arsenal.com, with Wenger repeating that “centre back is always the best ...

Theo, Willy and Eddie?
2007-08-08 22:00:00 A very good morning to all the Millwall fans out there. May your draughts taste doughty and humourous. On with the show, and the news merely focuses around the jibber-jabber of three players. The first is van Persie upping the prospects of young Theo Walcott this coming season. Van MacManimus Persie says: “When we were doing ... More About: Blogging , Eddie
The Contemplations of Alex
2007-08-07 22:36:00 A lovely, cold morning to nearly kill me once more… Adebayor reckons that he’ll be fit in time for the Blackburn-away game come August 19. The lanky striker is currently nursing a groin injury that sees him miss the Fulham and Sparta Prague games. I would have hoped he’d have gotten a sub appearance for Prague, ...

Garry?s Picking Cherries
2007-08-06 23:00:00 Not that much news today. Just a few bits and bobs on things most of us already know. Bits and bobs like Ryan Garry ’s Arsenal career, which is on the beginning of its end, it would seem. He has accepted a five-month loan to join Bournemouth - you might remember promising midfielder John Spicer joining them ... More About: Blogging , Picking
They?re All Spiky these Days
2007-08-05 22:48:00 Morning, young lovers. van Persie has gone very schizo in today’s papers, labeling Ljungberg as ‘weak’ after the former-Gunner accused Arsenal of a lack of ambition. Robin shouts from the top of the hills: “If you’re coming up with excuses about Thierry’s departure and promises from the club it’s weak. He had a fantastic period here, ...

Bruising Encounter a Blessing in Disguise
2007-08-05 01:25:00 I never want to hear the words ‘marriage’, ‘wedding’ or ‘matrimony’ ever again. Shudder. So Arsenal win the Emirates Cup after beating Ajax 1-0 last night with a 87th-minute goal from Van-the-Man Robin. Dramatic as that may sound, it seemed even sweeter revenge given the complete rough-house tactics evidenced by Ajax. van Persie was fouled throughout ... More About: Blogging , Blessing , Encounter
This is Sparta
2007-08-04 00:50:00 And so the draw is made, the fixtures can start to settle ever so slightly. Spar ta Prague it is, then, as the Champions League Qualifying stages were drawn last night. Our first match is the wednesday after the Fulham game, away in Prague. Liverpool were drawn away to Toulouse, and Celtic away to Spartak Moscow. After ... More About: Blogging
Workers Unite as Red (and blue) Army Wins Again
2007-08-02 22:11:00 …how about 24 hours late? Apologies for no blog yesterday. It was simply impossible, and expect tomorrow’s to be late/speculative as well. But mere blips in what will be regular service soon. Damn weddings. So Arsenal earn five points for beating Lazio and scoring 2 goals last night in their 2-1 win over the Nazis. Bendtner opened ...

A Day of Non-Availability
2007-08-01 22:44:00 Very quickly, the blog will be late today. It will be updated properly at about 9pm local time, which is a good 15-hours later than it usually is. Unfortunately, today is impossible. Apologies to all. Stay well, nevertheless… More About: Blogging , Availability
Quiet on the North London Front
2007-07-31 22:36:00 Absolutely no news to speak of this morning. Unless you count Fabianski wanting to challenge for the Numero Uno this season. Good to hear, though that’s kind-of why we bought him in the first place. Expect Lehmann to continue between the sticks this season, though Fabianski should pounce on any drops in form. I still think ... More About: London , Blogging , North , Front , Quiet
So Long Reyes, and Winning Things?
2007-07-30 22:44:00 Jogging in winter makes you remember that hands are indeed ‘extremities’. A quick blog today. Most of the news circles around Robin van Persie, as he goes on the PR rampage in upping Arsenal’s title-tilting chances this season. Robin apparently doesn’t feel any pressure or obligation to be the top scorer this season, saying he ‘doesn’t ... More About: Blogging , Things , Long , Reyes , Winning
??Told you Hleb was Good?
2007-07-29 22:54:00 Two matches in two days feels a little wierd. But hey. Action, action, action! A come from behind 2-1 victory saw Arsenal win the inaugural Emirates Cup in front of 55,000 fans at Ashburton Grove. A quick-reply goal from Hleb and a cut-back-thunderbolt from van Persie late on saw the home side win both the match ... More About: Blogging , Good , Told
Smile on me, Fortune.
2007-07-29 01:11:00 Arsenal ended up on the right side of the scoreline in their inaugural Emirates Cup clash with Paris St Germain, running out 2-1 winners in a match they certainly didn’t dominate for any long stretch of time. Flamini and Bendtner were the scorers, with Bendtner missing a penalty in the late stages that could have seen ... More About: Fortune , Blogging , Smile , Fort
The Signs are there: Wenger is Staying?
2007-07-27 23:59:00 Another chilly morning Down Under… It’s a Wenger -flavoured blog today - and with good reason (comes good news). Predictably, the journos immediately ask him if he’s staying for the umpteenth time. Again, Wenger has reiterated “I have shown since I arrived here that I am very faithful. I will speak about the future at the right ... More About: Features , Blogging , Signs , There
Winging it with William
2007-07-26 22:44:00 Gooooood morning, Goonerdom. Somethings can slightly pique my nerves. Ever so slightly. One of those things are the things said by Wenger about ‘not replacing Ljungberg’. *gulp*…bit of a worry, chaps? The opinion on this site is that wingers are needed, and then some, so Wenger saying this could mean two things - One: it’s a ... More About: Blogging , Liam , William
Not Quite 4-0, and Djourou
2007-07-26 00:11:00 Sleep was non-existent, last night. As a result, this post will be short but sweet. So Arsenal lose their final Austrian friendly against a side whose season is already underway, finishing on the wrong side of a 1-0 scoreline. Interesting notes on the match included Eduardo’s first full 90 minutes for Arsenal - in which he ... More About: Blogging
I Finally Have a Headline with Senderos In It
2007-07-24 23:09:00 So Ljungberg left with some sour comments aimed at the club, keeping up the fashionable “I hate Arsenal” being spouted by a host of ex-players and departures. He’s been unveiled as West Ham’s Numero Seven, incidently - I always said over the years he was the poor man’s Beckham, though that was more down to ...

We Really Did Love Freddy
2007-07-24 01:03:00 And so it happens. Former superhero, supermodel, superfinisher, supermohican Fredrik Ljungberg has been sold to West Ham Utd. The two clubs have come to an agreement on a reported £3million transfer. It sees the end of an Arsenal era, really - Lehmann is the last ‘Invincible’ left, but Ljungberg had overseen so much more of Arsenal’s ... More About: Love , Blogging , Freddy , Really , Ally
The Board Stands Firm
2007-07-22 22:39:00 Cough, splutter, spuke. Jogging kills. We’ll start with some Edelman-bubbly. In an interview stemming from the official site, Keith had this to say about the buy-out debacle: “You see talk about Arsenal needing a billionaire owner to put more money into the Club but Arsene has always said, and the board also believe, that a football ...

Ecclestone?s Horse Manure Fortune
2007-07-21 22:56:00 It just refuses to stop, now. Bernie Ecclestone, ‘Supremo’ (even wikipedia notes how many times the tabloids use that word for him) of that stupid sport where cars go round and round and round and round, has been linked with a takeover bid of Arsenal FC, in direct competition to Kroenke. The myriad of headlines is ... More About: Fortune , Blogging , Fort , Manu , Horse
No Substance to the Takeover Reports
2007-07-21 01:01:00 And a morning and a half to you all. Takeover talk has propped up it’s pathetic head again, as newspapers (okay, just The Mirror) continue to speculate over Dein’s position of power should Kroenke pass the 30% buyout-threshold. There are no current quotes, no proof of movements used, only things said from months back - in ... More About: Blogging , Subst , Ports , Subs
Encouraging Win! Encouraging News!
2007-07-20 01:38:00 A steady win for Arsenal as they continue their tour of Austria, over the team who’s name no-one quite remembers. Goals from Walcott and van Persie (2) sealed a victory which at times produced some glorious slipstreams of momentum for the Gunners. I mention ’slipstreams’ because it’s almost reminiscent of the purple patches the team used ... More About: News , Blogging
Ian Wright is the real ?mockery of Gooners?.
2007-07-18 21:54:00 A very earlier than usual blog today - there will be absolutely no chance of me being anywhere near a computer tomorrow for the whole day. There’s not much going on in the world of Arse - of course, if something pops up in the evening/morning while Im out, it just means more for me ...

No Place Like Home
2007-07-18 00:25:00 Not too long ago, Arsenal’s official site was one of the more frustrating, if not boring things to read through, unless you were interested in some profiles on youth prospects. Nowadays, someone’s bitten them on the elbow rather saucily, as they continue to drip feed the fans with some rather feel-good PR, still. Wenger has ...

The PR Bug finally bites Arsenal
2007-07-16 23:41:00 Morning all. This post brought to you by societal apathy and nationalistic fervour. Show’s on the road. First off, Arse nal .com have gone ape in ‘bringing the supporters what they want to know’, as some kind of change-of-pace thing. On it, Wenger confirms Reyes is leaving; says that Ljungberg will be staying for the beginning of the ... More About: Blogging , Finally , Fina
Barnet Hangover Forever
More articles from this author:2007-07-16 01:20:00 I’m sure the celebrations went long into the night after our triumphant two-nothing victory against the old foe, BFC. Adebayor’s the new Henry and Barazite is the new Tavlaridis. It all makes intrinsic sense. There is really not that much happening in the news, today.
