Arsene Wenger
Looking Out for Number One? (UPDATED)
By: Martin |So almost without us (or me, anyway) even realizing it, we appear to possibly have a goalkeeping controversy on our hands.
Happy Birthday, Arsene Wenger (UPDATED)
By: Martin |60 years young today.
What’s he doing to celebrate? Probably having some kind of big, lavish party, with Elton John playing songs while young starlets mill around drinking champagne? How about it, Arsene?:
No, I have nothing to celebrate. It will be very quiet. I have the AGM. We have a big game on Sunday again [...]
There’s Only One Arsene Wenger
By: Martin |Thirteen years ago today, Arsene Wenger officially became Arsenal’s manager. This officially makes him Arsenal’s longest-tenured manager, so I thought it might be worth taking a second to look back at what he’s meant to the club.
Arsenal Announce Record Profits
By: Martin |Arsenal Holdings, PLC just released a summary of the financial results for last season. It all seems to be good news, and it sounds like the club improved in pretty much every financial category over 2007-2008:
–Overall income increased to £313.3 million from £223.0 million the year before, largely due to deep cup runs and increased [...]
Storm Clouds on the Horizon?
By: Martin |Since there’s nothing else going on due to the international break, I thought I’d take the opportunity to write something a little less topical that I’ve been worrying about lately. I think FIFA’s recent crackdown on Chelsea and other clubs could be a very bad omen indeed for Arsenal.

One of the strongest [...]
Wenger’s Dilemma
By: Martin |Hope everyone had a nice weekend. As was covered in the comments, we came away with a disappointing 2-2 draw with Barnet in Saturday’s friendly. While we shouldn’t ever really come away with anything less than a win against a League 2 side, this was a friendly very early in the preseason which didn’t feature [...]
Adebayor & Citeh — Inevitable at this point?
By: travis |As Martin pointed out yesterday, new rumors have cropped up about Emmanuel Adebayor going to Manchester City. Well those rumors appear to be gaining steam, as the Daily Mail is reporting today that a fee of £25 million has been agreed upon.
At first glance, this is a puzzling move, as City rewards Adebayor for what [...]
Who Are You?: Thomas Vermaelen
By: Martin |I know I’m a little late to the party on this–I was out of town all weekend and not really online very much. But as has been mentioned in the comments section and as travis mentioned yesterday, there are quite a lot of reports that Arsenal has had a bid accepted for Ajax defender Thomas [...]
