Post image for Fabregas gone. Now onto how we can spend that money.

There’s a game on tonight but for some reason I am thinking about transfers. Cesc is gone — for those that missed it — for an enormous sum of money. Nasri is probably on his way too, to Manchester City, and that should only increase our transfer funds. But how will it be spent? Splashed [...]

Post image for Is this Arsenal team being built from the back?

So much has gone on in the past few days it defies belief. Our boys started the season with a respectable 0-0 draw at St James’s Park, Gervinho got red-carded on his debut for slapping Joey Barton, Alex Song looks set to join him in the naughty room after his stamp on the same man [...]

Post image for Proudly wearing my Captain Fabregas shirt in Barcelona

Today in Barcelona I scaled the heights of Gaudí’s unbelievable Güell Park and had this lovely photo taken. Notice anything interesting about my shirt?! That’ll show ‘em! You can get your Captain Fabregas shirts or any others in The AFCB Shop by clicking here. They’re rather good, if I do say so myself, and buying [...]

Post image for Arsenal 1-0 Stoke: When winning is losing

When Jermaine Pennant lined up his last-minute free-kick last night I was extremely worried. The result seemed to hinge on the result of this moment, our good defending and another league sheet counting for nothing if the ex-Arsenal ex-con slipped his shot into the back of the net. At that moment our early domination seemed [...]
