http://arsenal.theoffside.com Running the line for The Arsenal Sun, 11 May 2008 02:08:29 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'll admit the last week has been rough. All that I've posted are rumors of this player or that player leaving. I'm done with the negative - at least for this post. Time to bring in some good news about player movement, along with a quick few thoughts about the ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/arsene-wenger/now-for-some-good-news.html The season is not even over and it's apparent that Arsenal faces many challenges between now and the first kick of the 2008-2009 season. The dramas, rumors, and speculation of where players will end up seems to never bore the press and should be a constant during this summer. And ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/team-news/the-silly-season-is-almost-underway.html Well to nobody's surprise, Flamini is gone. The rumors were all true. Sad, but I've pretty much said all I want to on the subject. Visit this post at gunnerblog for an excellent number of reasons as to why he left. To sum it up, Milan is a bigger club ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/team-news/determined-to-keep-hleb-but-why.html And thank God he does, because otherwise I would have had nothing to talk about while watching the game yesterday. Because really, nothing happened. It was very much an end-of-season game where the team couldn't quite be bothered to actually play. Everton weren't exactly inspiring, either, which was a bit more ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/fixtures/premiership/joleon-lescott-has-a-large-forehead.html With the news of Flamini leaving now coming from the foremost news source, Arsenal took care of business in a particular unconvincing fashion. It was an interesting game more than it entertained, with the only goal coming from a powerful header from Dane Nicklas Bendtner. That brings his tally to ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/transfer-news-and-player-movement/auf-wiedersehen-jens-arsenal-win.html Well, Man United won so the Gunners are mathematically eliminated from the title race - although no one said they were still in it. It's unfortunate that with two or three wins against the teams we dropped points against (Birmingham, Middlesborough) we'd still be in the thing. So for ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/fixtures/premiership/arsenal-v-everton-for-what-its-worth.html The latest report states that Flamini has agreed to a four year deal with Milan. Hopefully, this is for real and the whole thing can be put to bed. It came down to money in the end, as Milan were willing to pay more than Arsenal. Wenger wasn't willing to ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/transfer-news-and-player-movement/more-flamini-news.html Check out this Nike commercial featuring Cesc Fabregas being lit on fire and juggling. At first I thought it'd be fake (maybe they switched people) but it seems pretty convincing http://arsenal.theoffside.com/team-news/hes-on-fire.html With Flamini now supposedly off to AC Milan, it's time to admit what has been inevitable for the last few months. Arsenal loses a player of unquestioned toughness and grit to some team in the Serie A. Best of luck to him, and I guess in the end money talks. ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/transfer-news-and-player-movement/flamini-out-possible-replacements.html After I called for Arsene to start him a few weeks ago, young gun Theo Walcott has finally been backing up the hype that has surrounded him. He's put in two or three consistent performances in a row, not to mention finding the back of the net as well. This ... http://arsenal.theoffside.com/team-news/walcott-player-of-the-month-more-rumors.html
