AFCB editor and chief writer Andrew Weber previews Arsenal’s 2010/2011 season… The fresh scent of a new season could not come sooner for Arsenal supporters, who spent the duration of the World Cup and beyond wondering whether their captain and talisman Cesc Fabregas would remain at the club for another year. In the end Arsene [...]
Hello, hello. It’s just a quick bit of Arsenal linkage today with a series of interesting bits of news and some excellent articles around the place. Nicklas Bendtner has rather bizarrely changed his shirt number from 26 to 52 for personal reasons. Needless to say, Panda Bear is not happy. In fact, he’s downright pissed [...]
Before I get started on today’s post I just want to thank everyone for their kind words on yesterday’s season launch post. The enthusiastic support I received for my plans for the season were most appreciated and although my beard received mixed reviews, I’m really excited about the potential of this blog going forward. I [...]
As much as I love blogging about Arsenal I have to admit that there are some times when I just want to do it. Friday afternoon after a long, exhausting week at work is one of those times. I’m minutes away from enjoying a tasty beer and with Arsenal news at a premium today – [...]
Kolo Toure is now a Manchester City player after completing a transfer believed to be worth around £16 million. The Ivorian’s move has been confirmed on the official Arsenal website as well as the City one with Toure signing a four-year deal with his new club. First things first I want to say that I wish [...]
Hello there – hope you’re having a lovely Tuesday. Just a quick news Arsenal news round-up to get through before things get all Guest Posty. Here goes: The Arsenal boys continued their impressive pre-season overnight with a comfortable 5-0 win over Hungarian side Szombathelyi Haladas. Eduardo returned to the team with a brace, Nicklas Bendtner [...]
Hello again – I hope you had a lovely weekend. Quite a lot to get through today so bare with me. I’ll kick things off with Johan Djourou who spoke on Friday about the role he hopes to play at Arsenal this season. In his own words he said: “I am ready now, I am [...]
I’m absolutely bloody knackered today and – it being a Friday afternoon – I’m going to keep things very, very short. It’s bullet-point time: Thierry Henry thinks Arsenal can win the Premier League this season. I know he says it every year but I still love hearing it come from him, it shows how much [...]
Yesterday at work I was speaking to Arsenal FC Blog reader Alan Goat about Arsenal’s chances in the upcoming Premier League season. I revealed to her that I was getting very excited about the start of the season and was quietly confident that the combination of Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo’s respective returns, the failure thus [...]
A very good day to you all. I hope you’re all recharged from the weekend and ready to face another week of whatever it is that you do. I know I am. I’ll start today’s post with some comments from Arsene Wenger. Speaking about the exit of Emmanuel Adebayor and the impact it may have [...]
It’s official – Emmanuel Adebayor is a Manchester City player. And while the transfer fee is likely to remain undisclosed the amount is thought to be around £25 million. He’s given his first interview as a Manchester City player and you can watch it below (LINK): If I’m being completely honest the overwhelming feeling I am [...]
Well then, we’ve reached the weekend and still the Emmanuel Adebayor situation has not been officially resolved. All the signs are pointing to an exit but I have to say I can’t see too much pointing going on and on about it until it does happen. So rather refreshingly on this fine Friday, I will [...]
Hello all. Just a very quick news round-up this fine Thursday before I nip off to the theatre (how posh does that sound?!): Emmanuel Adebayor is ridiculously close to signing for Manchester City after being granted a work permit. I should add that a reliable source of mine tells me that Ade has been confirmed as [...]
I’ll start by saying I’m feeling a lot better about things today after my hard drive crash yesterday – and with that change in attitude has come a change in the quality of Arsenal news. According to reports from SkySports and The Guardian, Arsenal have received a £20 million offer from Manchester City for Emmanuel Adebayor. [...]
Unfortunately I’ve got a dinner to rush off to tonight, so I’m going to have to be extremely brief today. Sorry about that. The Arsenal squad returned to training yesterday and there are plenty of photos of the boys on the official website. Obviously new signing Thomas Vermaelen stole the photographer’s eye more than most, [...]
‘Ello there! Nice to see you again. It’s Tuesday and it’s Guest Post time. I’ll get onto that in a moment but before then it’s a quick, bullet-pointed Arsenal news round-up: Manuel Almunia has called for Arsenal to make a better start to the new season than they made last campaign. Makes sense: if we [...]
Good afternoon Arsenal FC Bloggers – I hope you’re doing well. I’ll kick things off today with the news that another Arsenal target has bitten the dust – well, supposed target anyway – with Lyon agreeing a transfer fee with Real Madrid for Karim Benzema. That news follows on from Felipe Melo’s decision to sign [...]
