Well done Cesc.
By: travis |Congrats on winning Euro 2008. The lad played beautifully in the short opportunities he had, acknowledging that today’s win was the best day of his life. Hopefully, this is proof that beautiful football can win trophies in club competition. Let’s add more to that trophy haul next season.
Give him the ball, and he will…
By: Abby |…take it off to Milan. Possibly. The man himself has been making statements that the media are interpreting as either he’s staying or he’s going, depending on which quotes from his most recent interview is taken. He says somewhat different things to the BBC and the the Independent, which combined give an impression that he [...]
This should end things… or not?
By: travis |As everyone here knows, the BBC African footballer of the year Emmanuel Adebayor has been the talk of endless rumors. One day he wants to leave Arsenal. The next, 80% of him is going to to Milan. Or is it Barcelona? He wants to play next to Henry, he supposedly said. Well, another official announcement [...]
Almost done at the Euros
By: travis |With Cesc the only Arsenal player remaining at the tournament (sorry Jens, you no longer count), I thought it would be appropriate to take a brief look at what each of our players achieved in Austria/Switzerland:
Cesc Fabregas: Scored his first international goal for his home country and showed that he’s a man by beating Buffon [...]
Atta boy Cesc
By: travis |Way to knock out the Italians (with a little help from Casillas, of course).
Adebayor?
By: travis |After everything I’ve written and speculated, it looks as though the Togo striker may be on his way to either Barcelona or AC Milan for around €27m. And while I’ve panned nearly all talk as rumors, one has to admit that credibility goes up when they just don’t go away. What has me more convinced [...]
Long and drawn out
By: travis |The whole Samir Nasri business could be coming to an end. Finally. He’s set to head to London for a physical, sign a contract, and then buzz off for a holiday. Can’t blame him. He’s been a long season, having played with Marseille and then playing - albeit very little - at Euro 2008. That [...]
Feuds That Will Never Die
By: Abby |Despite neither of them being at the clubs that pitted them against each other in the first place, Patrick Vieira and Ruud van Nistelrooy are still fighting. Allegedly. Paddy also allegedly got into a fight with Manchester United’s Patrice Evra.
You can leave Arsenal, but clearly, it never really leaves you.
Update from the Euros: Van Persie remains uninjured
By: travis |Enough of that. Having no real transfer news to report - other than the confirmation that Lehmann is exiting - I can move on. There was good news and bad news for Gunners at Euro, as the French were knocked out at the hands of Italy. William Gallas went the full 90 in central defense, [...]
2008/09 Fixtures
By: travis |The fixtures have been announced. First reactions aren’t anything too significant. The opening match will be against West Brom on 16 August. Obviously, the two months between now and then seem like such a long time, but in actuality will be here sooner than I realize it will.
In the never ending Alexander Hleb saga, it [...]
