Internationals
And We’re Back
By: Martin |Players report back to London today, and hopefully by the end of today or early tomorrow we’ll have an inventory of who picked up knocks playing in internationals. At the moment, the only one I’ve heard is Gael Clichy, who injured his thigh playing for France yesterday.
Poll: Club vs. Internationals
By: Martin |This is something I’ve often kind of wondered about, so I figured it would make a decent poll. And, since there isn’t much going on in the way of actual Arsenal news and probably won’t be until the players report back at the end of the week, it at least gives us something to discuss.

Why I Hate International Breaks
By: Martin |I knew it was too much to ask for for our players to get through an international break without getting injured, and I was right. Andrei Arshavin, who had to come off injured with a groin injury against Manchester United, rushed back too early to play in yesterday’s game against Wales. Guus Hiddink, being the [...]
Theo Walcott, Arsenal, And England
By: Abby |In case you haven’t heard (and if so, where have you been?), our very own Theo Walcott got a hat-trick with England in Zagreb. The 4-1 win was an amazing result, even with 10 men on the Croatia team. Croatia hasn’t lost in Zagreb since 1994, England have been generally terrible for two years (and [...]
Mid-week WCQ round up
By: travis |More World Cup Qualifiers means more recaps. I think Abby will have some post gushing about Theo Walcott, so I’ll only briefly mention him here. And post a picture. Lot of Gunners in action, and from what I’ve heard, no major injuries.
Robin Van Persie
Started and played 69 minutes for the Netherlands in their 2-1 win [...]
Theeeeeeeee-o!
By: Abby |Just a placeholder, as I’m still at work (don’t tell my boss). Hopefully I’ll have time later to get a fuller post up this evening. But I couldn’t just let this pass.
Congrats, Theo Walcott! A hat-trick away, where the home team hasn’t lost a qualifier in years, when no one expected anything. Brilliant from the [...]
World Cup Qualifier round up
By: travis |As could be expected, lots of Gunners in action over the weekend in World Cup Qualifiers, mostly in the UEFA region. As promised, a brief look at each player and his role (if any):
Alexandre Song Billong
Started and played 90 minutes for Cameroon in their 2-1 win over Cape Verde Islands.
French National team
Samir Nasri started and [...]
Weekend Update
By: travis |There’s a host of Arsenal players to keep your eyes on today. While Aaron Ramsey didn’t get on the pitch for Wales, backup keeper Lukasz Fabianski got the start in goal for Poland with Artur Boruc suspended? Or out of action. Regardless, they’ll be much more later on today/tomorrow. Here’s to a great (and boring) [...]
International Week
By: travis |Booooring. Time for a respite from EPL action on the weekend. To little surprise, a break in the action means a lull in any sort of Arsenal-related news, with no games to preview. That and with the transfer window shut, no new signings can be made. Instead, it’s cross our fingers and hope that none [...]
I Think We’re Okay
By: Abby |As far as I can tell, from scanning my various favorite news sources, we’ve got through the international break unscathed. No sign of new injuries, at least, which is always what I look for when an international break is done with.
Fortunes for the players- as one would expect in a team made up of so [...]
