Welcome to another Arsenal FC Blog update and another edition of Guest Post Tuesdays! That’s right, after my admission in yesterday’s post that I had no-one lined up for today’s guest post, my Twitter buddy and fellow countryman White Ox came up with the goods and has delivered a brilliant piece about the impact that [...]
A very good day to you and I hope you’re doing well this fine Tuesday. Tuesday’s are usually the worst day of the week but the combination of some lovely weather and a delicious Indian meal at lunch meant that this one was far from the dodgiest I’ve had to live through. It’s all transfer [...]
Forgive me for jumping right into things, but there are a couple of myths floating around Arsenal players that need to be busted. Firstly, Kolo Toure will not be missing the start of the season. While you may have already read that Toure has contracted malaria, it is not as serious as many news sites have made [...]
Hello there again. Today is of course Monday and that means my first post for week. It’s been a massive weekend too so sit tight for a moment to digest everything that has been going on in the world of Arsenal. Saturday night saw Arsenal start their pre-season campaign with a 2-1 win over Barnet. The boys [...]
Can you believe Arsenal are back playing football this weekend? I can’t. It seems like forever since I got to watch the boys play. Sure, there was Euro 2008 to fill the void between now and then but it didn’t quite compare to the feeling I get when I watch an Arsenal game. I’m not [...]
Well, it finally, finally happened. Alex Hleb has officially left Arsenal. The Belorussian midfielder has joined for a fee around £12million and signed a four-year deal with the Spanish club. Hleb had the following to say about leaving Arsenal for Barcelona: “I want to give my best for this club. I have realised a dream. [...]
Alex Hleb is finally off to Barcelona. He’s signed a four-year deal and the transfer fee was 15 million euros. All the details here.
Hello there. It’s good to write to you again and I hope you’re doing well this fine Monday. Regular readers will probably have noticed the change that this blog has undergone since I last posted. I’ll speak about the change a little bit later on, but first I’ll scoot through the Arsenal news from last weekend. First [...]
It’s Friday afternoon and I’ve just finished work. “Why aren’t you out drinking and celebrating then, Spanish?”, you ask. “I will be shortly,” I respond, struggling to contain a sly grin, “but first I have to post on the blog.” And that’s why I’m here right now. To do what I do every day; bring you, [...]
Another day, another miniscule bit of progression in transfer sagas involving Alex Hleb and Emmanuel Adebayor. As such, I’ll keep things short today. It seems that Hleb is on the verge of signing for Barcelona. The Belorussian is apparently on his way to Spain to complete a medical and if all goes to plan will join the Catalan club. [...]
My goodness it’s been cold in Brisbane today. It’s normally the type of weather I enjoy given the ridiculous amount of sunshine and heat we usually get, but today has been a struggle. Just thought you should know. I’ll move on now to more important matters then, shall I? I’ll start things off with want-away midfielder [...]
Why do I get the feeling that Alex Hleb is going to get unfairly hammered on the blogs today? The Belorussian, who nobody really expects to be at the club come the start of the season, has been quoted in the Daily Mirror as saying: “My view of football and Wenger’s didn’t coincide at all. I [...]
Bah. I was halfway through quite a detailed post and then my computer had a problem and I lost all my work. Frustrating. I really can’t be bothered doing it again so I will do a super-quick wrap-up of all the news that was floating around over the weekend. Apparently Arsene Wenger was quoted in [...]
I was going to spend some time writing about the Emmanuel Adebayor/Alex Hleb rumours today. But then I read The Man From East Lower’s latest post and realised he had already summed it up perfectly for me. Check it out and you’ll see what I mean. Since I last blogged three sides have progressed through [...]
It’s all a bit transfery today in the world of Arsenal with Emmanuel Adebayor, Alexander Hleb and Barcelona’s Yaya Toure dominating the headlines. First up is Togolese striker Adebayor who has again been linked with a move to AC Milan. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper in Italy rumours are growing that the Togolese striker wants [...]
Hello there. I’m back from the Gold Coast and I’m feeling good. Hope you’re doing as well on this fine Tuesday. Since I last posted the European Championships have begun and the first three days of the tournament have been filled with some decent football and a couple of interesting results. I managed to catch the entirety [...]
I love Fredrik Ljungberg. Always have, always will. Maybe not as much as this guy (get ready to laugh) - but I still love him and nothing that he says or does in the future will change that. While Dennis Bergkamp was the player who got me to start watchin Arsenal, Ljungberg was the man who really [...]
