It’s agreed, then, that the Young Gunners will need to coalesce and put the ball in the onion bag a few more times this season than last. And the club can no longer wait for an injured Thierry Henry to jump back in the lineup and produce. It’s my understanding that he left […]

OMG! It’s totally happening.
Jose Antonio Reyes is headed, as expected, to Atletico Madrid.
A win-win, most likely.

Arsenal have lifted the Emirates Cup. Huzzah! The club has now won every single Emirates Cup ever contested, thanks to a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Inter Milan.
Robin van Persie scored the winner for the Gunners, after an equaliser from Alexan–hold on. Alexander Hleb? Well, what d’ya know. Well done, […]

By: Trent | 6 Comments
It wasn’t entirely graceful, but we’ve just been through a season that was an A on graceful buildup and a B- on finishing. With that in mind, and with a preseason-grain-of-salt, I’d say I’m pleased with Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Paris St.-Germain in Emirates Cup action.
Earlier in the day, Valencia defeated Inter Milan 2-0 in […]

We’ve already broached the subject around here, and the answers in comments were one of two choices for the club’s next captain: Kolo Toure or Gilberto. But Arsene Wenger seems to be contemplating a name no one mentioned: William Gallas.
Yes, the same French defender who last week grumbled about the team’s transfer market inactivity.
Freshly-departed […]

By: Trent | 1 Comment
Consider, if you will, that Douglas Adams, English author of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy among other works, died on May 11, 2001. What else happened in Britain that day? Arsenal lost the FA Cup final to Liverpool, 2-1 in Cardiff.
I bring that up not to show causation between the […]

By: Trent | No Comments
Which is a fairly incomprehensible headline unless you follow football, I suppose. Let’s just hope that Eduardo never strikes a supporter, because I just can’t bear a rash of “Dudu Hits the Fan” headlines.
Anyway, Arsenal ended their Austrian getaway with a 0-1 loss to Red Bull Salzburg. FIFA is already looking into whether […]

The expected has happened. Fredrick Ljungberg has officially made the move to West Ham. Arsene Wenger–who still knows–signed Freddie in 1998 after having only seen him play on TV. 216 appearances later, Freddie had scored 46 goals, 2 Prem titles and 3 FA Cups later, Super Sexy himself moves across town to become […]

By: Trent | 2 Comments
The London pub where Arsenal were born some 120 years ago has been torn down in the face of Ol’ Man Progress. A new light rail expansion is headed right through its old doors.
It was Christmas Day 1886 when 15 gentlemen gathered at The Pullman and formed the Royal Arsenal footballing club. It […]
Arsenal Celebrity Supporter Series: Steve Earle
By: Trent | 3 Comments
I first saw Steve Earle live in, I’d say, 1989. He was opening for Bob Dylan’s tour, which incidentally was the only time I saw Dylan live that registered as any good. But this isn’t about Bob, whom I love but who may be a Spurs fan for all I know. Rather, […]
