Happy Birthday, Arsene Wenger (UPDATED)
By: Martin | 4 Comments
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 [...]
International Break News (Yawn)
By: Martin | 4 Comments
Sigh. International breaks are so boring. Not too much going on in the lead up to the games over the weekend, but a few things have popped up so I thought I’d do a roundup/link dump of what’s been going on this week.

As you probably know, in recent years, Arsenal has dramatically strengthened its ties to the United States. Arsenal hired Ivan Gazidis, who was born in South Africa, grew up in England, but worked as an attorney in the United States before becoming deputy commissioner of MLS, as its chief executive in 2008. Colorado native Stan [...]

Looking for that truly one of a kind item? Then go here for the perfect conversation piece for any Arsenal fan.
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. [...]
William Gallas Is Just Like You and Me
By: Martin | 2 Comments
We sports fans, even those of us who are ostensibly grown men, have a tendency to make our favorite athletes out to be larger than life. Different, somehow, then the rest of us who show up to a job we may or may not like every day and feel underpaid and underappreciated. So it is [...]
New Away Kit
By: Martin | 4 Comments
Photos of the new kit floating around today. When I first saw it, I didn’t think too much of it, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. I don’t think I like it quite as much as our away kit this year, but definitely like it more than those white [...]
Nicklas Bendtner: A Defense
By: Martin | 12 Comments
I’ve been thinking of writing something like this for a bit, but it really hit home on Saturday, when I was watching the Arsenal-Manchester United game at my local pub. As usual, the Arsenal fans were outnumbered approximately 20-3. When Nicklas Bendtner entered the game as a late substitute, the United fans cheered, the clear [...]
Thursday Randoms
By: Martin | No Comments
No posts for a couple of days, I know. It’s mainly been because there hasn’t been that much noteworthy to report. Frankly, there’s still not that much noteworthy to report, but I’m bored at work and you can’t stop me.
First off, Manchester United’s win yesterday puts them a mere point from the title. While our [...]
Bendtner’s Inability to Finish Apparently Not Limited to the Pitch
By: Martin | 4 Comments
“The Denmark international striker, 21, was pictured leaving a London nightclub at 4 a.m. this morning with his belt undone and jeans pulled down before being helped into a waiting car.”
Yeah…I don’t know, either. Hey–I understand he and the rest of the team must have been frustrated about the game, and probably wanted to [...]
