The Day of Exes
By: Abby |

It’s been a day of ex-players, as Arsenal traveled up to Germany to help VfB Stuttgart celebrate the renaming of their stadium (to the Mercedes-Benz Arena- Stuttgart is the home of the company, after all). Stuttgart, of course, is the new home of former Arsenal goalkeeper/entertaining character Jens Lehmann. Now, I love Jens, and I [...]
Burgenland: It’s A Place
By: Abby | 3 Comments
Burgenland- the easternmost and least populous of all of Austria’s states. It’s right up against the border with Hungary and was the subject of only mildly interesting territorial debates in the 13th century, and not so much since. It was also the provider of Arsenal’s most recent friendly opponents.
The Austrian training camp is an Arsenal [...]
Nothing To Report, So Here’s This…Thing
By: Abby | 6 Comments
There’s nothing going on. Nothing. Nothing worth reporting, at least- some more nonsense about transfers that may or may not happen, that may or may not be dragging on way past my ability to get angry at it. Some ex-players may or may not have said stupid things (c’mon now, does anyone really expect tact [...]

What can you say about pre-season friendlies? Other than nothing, really. It’s hard to interpret them as anything. I remember reading someone’s opinion on the German team’s friendlies before the Euro- if they’d won their game easily, that would be a cause for worry because it means they’re not working hard enough in training. (I [...]

Our midfielders are exiting quickly

The day where Alexander Hleb leaves the club may have finally arrived. He’s in Barcelona for a physical, and the deal will be done. Someone over at Setanta takes a look at the impact that Hleb has had at Arsenal. I’ll make a long story short: with him off the pitch, more goals were scored [...]

By: travis | 3 Comments
Perhaps this silly season’s only loyal player, Cesc Fabregas is modeling the new away kit for next season. Funny how all the rumors from this season have swirled and yet here is Cesc in the new kit. Hopefully that means that he won’t be leaving. Seriously, is there a better option for captain next season? [...]

The rumor mill keeps on churning today, with the latest reports hinting that Arsenal have made contact with Aston Villa about midfielder Gareth Barry. I don’t know much I can buy into it, but it would be a good move if Gilberto is indeed leaving. Barry could play a role similar to Flamini, with Fabregas [...]

Much to the surprise of, well, no one, Samir Nasri completed his transfer to the Emirates today. Nice to have that one done and dusted. It could be the first of what looks to be a very busy July, with the chatter about Adebayor proving to be relentless, Hleb on his way out of town, [...]

Please stop referring to things that are not slavery as slavery. Christiano Ronaldo’s situation is not modern slavery- this is modern slavery. Please make a note of it.
Thank you,
