Little Things

By: Abby | Comments 5 Comments

Now that the season is all but over for us, just about everyone has been busy focusing on the next one. And I’m not exempt from that ‘everyone’ either- I always find transfer rumors endlessly entertaining, even if they’re a bit far-fetched. Or especially if they’re a bit far-fetched. Depends on how long the transfer [...]

Don’t Hate, Participate

By: Trent | Comments No Comments

Wow, it’s been a pretty boring international week. Not to excited too get to the bottom of the did-Lehmann-give-German-fans-der-finger mystery. But Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, amongst other celebs, saves the day by teaching us that bullying, whether in person or over the Intertubes, is tre uncool.

And knowing is half the battle.

“It Was All Us”

By: Trent | Comments No Comments

Arsene Wenger on Sunday’s away draw with Liverpool:
“It was a big test today but we have shown tremendous quality.

Overall it was a great football game, a bit of an edgy start and we were a bit nervous and punished quickly.

But from then on it was all us and it was a question of not conceding [...]

Wenger Favors Retroactive Punishment

By: Trent | Comments No Comments

Last Saturday, West Ham man Mark Noble did his best to reduce Aleksandr Hleb’s working joints by one with a over-the-top tackle during Arsenal’s 1-0 away win. The Belarussian’s knee was knocked, and he was stretchered off of the pitch.
For his troubles, Noble received only a yellow card on what looked to many observers [...]

The Soul of the Game

By: Trent | Comments 1 Comment

Whatever that might mean, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger thinks England is in danger of losing it. To the Frenchman, fan behaviour is the bellwether for the condition, and therefore the soul, of the game.
Sez the Professor:
“English football is losing his soul. Fans are the keeper of our football. But the first [...]

Prof. Wenger Stays Put

By: Trent | Comments 2 Comments

As expected, Arsene Wenger has signed a new contract to stay at Arsenal through the 2010-2011 season. How he will survive on only £4 million per year is beyond me. At least we know he won’t waste any of it buying strikers. Ahem.
Wenger has said that he feels a responsibility to the [...]

You Be the Captain / And I’ll Be No-One: Part the Second

By: Trent | Comments 11 Comments

We’ve already broached the subject around here, and the answers in comments were one of two choices for the club’s next captain: Kolo Toure or Gilberto. But Arsene Wenger seems to be contemplating a name no one mentioned: William Gallas.
Yes, the same French defender who last week grumbled about the team’s transfer market inactivity.

Arsene Wenger’s Worst Season Ever

By: Trent | Comments 4 Comments

So says the man himself. No silverware for the Gunners in 2006-2007, it’s true. Concedes the boss:
“If you analyse the season I would say yes it has been my worst. We are 22 points behind the leader so I cannot say I did everything perfectly. I have to stand up and [...]

Arsene Wenger: We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Signings

By: Trent | Comments 3 Comments

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has again claimed that winning next year’s title will not depend on a transfer market shopping spree this summer. He didn’t rule out new acquisitions, but he cautions against panicky purchases in the wake of this disappointing season.
Sez the Frenchman:
“The problem is that because we have had a disappointing [...]
