Arsenal Top 5 Goals

By: Martin | Comments 8 Comments

Hola, amigos. There isn’t too much else going on on this Friday, but I figured that, as a break from our normal despairing about Arsenal’s squad/new uniforms/transfer policy/Diaby, we could do something positive today.
If you recall, the official site has been running a summer-long event to name Arsenal’s top 5 all-time goals. I’ve largely avoided [...]

Arsenal Legend Vieira to Join . . . Arsenal?!

By: Martin | Comments 22 Comments

Well, that’s the rumor, anyway. Some outlets are reporting Arsenal may offer Patrick Vieira a one-year, incentive-laden deal to come back to the club. It seems like Arsene Wenger hasn’t really found a good option at holding midfielder, so this would give him a stopgap until next summer, when he can hopefully go out and [...]

Kolo Gone to City; Henry Still Awesome

By: Martin | Comments 18 Comments

Well, it looks like Toure to Manchester City is a done deal, for a rumored £15 million. Brace yourself for the surprise of what I’m about to say, but Citeh will also reportedly close to double Toure’s wages.
I have very mixed feelings about this.

Kolo Toure Out to City?

By: travis | Comments 32 Comments

Could Arsene Wenger really sell another player to the Eastlands? News this morning is rampant that Kolo Toure is on his way out to City for a tidy sum of £15 million. While other outlets are reporting this as a done deal, we’ll have to wait and see what the clubs say.
One of the strongest [...]

Do the Friendlies Tell Us Anything?

By: Martin | Comments 5 Comments

I’ve watched most of Arsenal’s three friendlies thus far. But the question is–do these friendlies give us any insight into Arsene Wenger’s thinking about the squad, or which players look set to bust out? Or are these friendlies against lower opposition just an excuse for players to get some game fitness?
I suspect the answer is [...]

Szombathelyi Haladas Friendly

By: Martin | Comments 9 Comments

Gunners back in action this afternoon against . . . well, look at the title of the post, I’m not typing that again. They’re a Hungarian squad, and unlike the semi-professional club we played in the last friendly, these guys are actually in the qualification stages for Europa League, so hopefully they’ll provide a bit [...]

Cashley Being Cashley, Eduardo Is Fine

By: Martin | Comments 17 Comments

Cashley came out today and said that he hoped Manchester City finished ahead of Arsenal next season. Then, trying to make himself even more unlikeable, he took candy from a nearby small child, cheated on his wife a couple more times, and punched a nun in the throat.
Not that what he wants or thinks [...]

SC Colombia Friendly

By: Martin | Comments 14 Comments

Today we square off against SC Columbia, a semi-professional team. It’s just a friendly, of course, but you’d expect us to put up quite a few goals against them. At any rate, here’s the starting lineup for us, which is starting to look more like a first-team squad:
Almunia
Eboue-Djourou-Vermaelen-Silvestre
Wilshere-Denilson-Diaby-Ramsey
Bendtner-Arshavin
Looks like fun–it’s sunny outside, Wenger is wearing [...]

Uh Oh (UPDATE: Broken Leg, 2 to 3 months)

By: Martin | Comments 20 Comments

Just saw this on the wire. Can’t 100% vouch for its legitimacy, but here it is:
French publications L’Equipe and France Football are reporting that Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has been taken to hospital in Austria following an injury sustained while training on the Gunners’ pre-season tour of the country.
The 22-year-old was transported by two members [...]
