It would also make the absolute perfect gift for that very special Arsenal blogger in your life. Especially one who has an inordinate amount of love for Nicklas Bendtner. And whose birthday was yesterday. I’m just sayin’.

Hang in there–only 4 more days until Arsenal’s back in action…

Instead, I’m going to show you one of my favorite random pieces of Arsenal-related memorabilia that I own.

I collect weird memorabilia, and am particularly thrilled when it’s football-related. So when I was in Prague last summer, I had to pick up this.

They are Arsenal nesting dolls. Oddly-featured Arsenal nesting dolls. I fell in love the moment I saw them- they might even out-odd my Ronaldinho caganer. They came from one of the tourist stores lining the streets around the old part of Prague, a store filled with them, for every team I could possibly think of and some I never would have (like Grimsby Town, or Motherwell, or oddly enough, the Denver Nuggets). As a collector of the odd memorabilia, I did need them.

The best part? They don’t really look like any particular player, do they? Guess who’s which! The backs are after the jump…

I guess Lehmann’s a bit obvious, since he’s the only one in a different shirt, and since it is from Prague Rosicky would have to be there…but did anyone guess the others? Be honest.
