Thierry Henry Does Not Suffer Spurs Gladly

By: Trent | Comments 3 Comments

Although, really–can you blame him?
Tucked into Sunday’s programme for the Fulham match was injured captain Thierry Henry’s Ode to Spurs, lovingly crafted and mostly spot on. It’s clear that his time in North London has well-inculcated the Frenchman to the general Gunner attitude toward Tottemham Hotspur.
Sez TH14:
“What makes me laugh is the way […]

Full Time: Arsenal 3-1 Fulham

By: Trent | Comments 4 Comments

The Gunners put an exclamation point on their spot in next year’s Champions League with a 3-1 win over fading Fulham. Goals from Julio Baptista, Emmanuel Adebayor and Gilberto Silva (pen) were enough to overcome a strike from Simon Davies (with an “Oops!” from newly-re-signed keeper Jens Lehmann, natch).
The Gunners are eleven points ahead […]

Kroenke. Hill-Wood. The Sitdown.

By: Trent | Comments No Comments

Some advice for American businessman Stan Kroenke: When Arsenal chariman Peter Hill-Wood asks to go to the men’s room during your upcoming sitdown, run!
If I know Hill-Wood, he’ll have Clemenza plant a gun behind the toilet. Or have I got the roles reversed?
Said PHW: “His recent acquisition of shares has caused a great deal […]

Jens Crafters: Lehmann Set to Stay at Arsenal

By: Trent | Comments 7 Comments

He may have shown some lapses last week. He may be half mad. He may, in fact, be targeted by the refs. But it looks as if German international Jens Lehmann will return to Ashburton Grove next season. As expected, the new contract extension is only for one year.
Where this leaves the […]

The Kroenke Cometh?

By: Trent | Comments 11 Comments

I certainly never thought I’d be reading and writing so much about Stan Kroenke, left, in this lifetime. Stan Laurel, maybe. Or maybe Laurel Park, or Parker Posey. The point is, with little left to decide in Arsenal’s season, takeover talk has come to the fore.
You’ll recall that in the wake of […]

Is Adriano Moving to London?

By: Trent | Comments No Comments

We’re getting to that time of year again when the transfer rumours fall from the sky like metaphors. Or do they spring forth from the thawing ground like cliches? It’s hard to recall.
But for now, let’s irresponsibly wonder whether Brazilian striker Adriano may leave Inter Milan for Arsenal this summer. The rumour, […]

Cesc Fabregas Now Only 3 Years Away From Manhood

By: Trent | Comments No Comments

The good news with something like this is that you can juggle your schedule ahead of time.
Even in the wake of the last three matches where DiscoCesc scored two goals and had two assists, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claims that as a player and as a man, the 19-year-old Cesc is not finished: […]

Full Time: Totteham Hotspur 2-2 Arsenal

By: Trent | Comments 1 Comment

Arsenal looked set to take all three points until Spurs notched an injury time equaliser. Both Gunner goals–from Toure and Adebayor–were made by DiscoCesc Fabregas.
Arsenal probably should have won the match, but…well, you know how it goes.

Stay, Lady, Stay

…stay with your man awhile/
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
Maybe it’s not that seductively sweet, but talk has turned to whether Arsene Wenger may be the next big name to exit Ashburton Grove in the wake of vice-chairman David Dein’s departure.
Chairman Peter Hill-Wood sez:
“We’ve always made funds available […]

Arsenal Rocked by Bedroom Dispute

By: Trent | Comments 2 Comments

Sorry, boardroom dispute. Either way, Arsenal vice-chariman David Dein and the rest of the Board are splitsville. Early word is that Dein had a big falling out with the Board. The gossip wags reported that the Board recently filmed a movie opposite Angelina Jolie, so this shouldn’t come as too much of […]
