It’s not strictly Arsenal-related, I know, but by now I’m sure you’ve all seen the controversial goal which put France into the 2010 World Cup.
Arsenal Announce Record Profits
By: Martin | 14 Comments
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 [...]
The Case Against Adebayor
By: Martin | 4 Comments
Before you continue reading, I urge you to go this link, which compiles the relevant “incidents” involving Adebayor into easily viewable gifs.
Hopefully you didn’t get so outraged you broke your computer, and are still here. The FA is reportedly investigating what Adebayor did in the match, and if there’s any justice, he will face [...]
Why I Hate International Breaks
By: Martin | 6 Comments
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 [...]

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.

Seriously, is there a bigger frakking joke of an organization on the planet than UEFA?

Despite scoring a goal on his debut last week, with every day that passes, I’m more and more satisfied that Wenger did the right thing by selling Adebayor to Man City.
This week, Adebayor came out and said that Arsenal fans made it “hard” for him. Well, you know what, Ade? You made it “hard” for [...]

Arsenal’s team doctor, pictured at right, has had a pretty busy summer. Unsurprisingly, before we’ve even played our first match, we’re beset by injuries to many key players.
Arsene Wenger has told the official website that:
Why an EPL Salary Cap is a Terrible Idea
By: Martin | 15 Comments
Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis came out today and said that the Premiership should consider a salary cap to stabilize itself financially. He didn’t come out and say it, but I think it’s pretty clear this has been brought on by Manchester City’s profligate transfer fees and wages since the new ownership group has been [...]

Remember when we came back to beat Hull in the FA Cup quarterfinal? And Hull boss/tanning bed enthusiast accused Cesc Fabregas of spitting at a Hull coach after the game? First he claimed that it happened on the pitch, and that his assistant had told him what happened. Then, when he realized that there was [...]
