Just a bit of housekeeping to kick things off. As the World Cup has now drawn to a close, this will be my last article until the new Arsenal season begins. Andy will take up the reigns again shortly, probably once he’s recovered from all his travels and so forth. I’d like to thank Andy [...]

Quick bit of Admin to start with. It appears that Robin van Persie has requested to change his squad number for the upcoming season. If you’ve pre-ordered the new kit, either home or away, your order will be held for shipping until the number change is finalized according to Arsenal.com. You can get the details [...]

Can I get a few volunteers? Just a few brave and dedicated Arsenal supporters who will volunteer 1 bone in their body (or ligament, tendon, cartilage, vital organ, what have you) and offer it up to the Football Gods so that our man Robin van Persie can go at least 1 calendar year without injury. [...]

For a man renowned for his love of details, it makes me chuckle a bit to think of Arsene Wenger leaving his Blackberry in London. It’s something you or I might do…in a fit of rush to get to the airport, something’s always going to be forgotten. But for Arsene Wenger, a man who lives, [...]

We’re getting down to the bitter end of the Group Stage now, folks. France? Out. Italy? Out. England in a win or go home 3rd Group Stage match. Spain sweating on their 3rd match. South Korea and Japan moving into the Knockout Stage. I’ve watched A LOT of football over the last 14 days, but [...]

Dear or dear! Does anyone else think maybe Theo Walcott and Samir Nasri are sitting at home about now, planning massive “THANK YOU!” flower arrangements to be sent round to Fabio Capello and Raymond Domenech? Sure they were upset at not being selected for their respective national sides. But everything happens for a reason, and [...]

Match Day 4 saw plenty of Arsenal interest with a tasty early match up between Nicklas Bendtner’s Danish squad and the Oranje of Robin van Persie. Alex Song had the day off for Cameroon as they went down to a plucky Japan team in their opening Group Stage match. Netherlands Own Goal “Assist” Highlights van [...]

Once again it’s pretty quiet in the world of Arsenal. A trip to Stoke is of course on the agenda but we’re yet to hear from Arsene Wenger regarding player availability or any of the players regarding Wenger availability. It’s eerily quiet at the moment, a bit like that time in the N64 game Lylat [...]

Being the good, kind gentleman he is, Arsene Wenger very generously participated in a live webchat on the official Arsenal website last night. Although a lot of that chat was quite trivial, he did make some interesting comments about Robin van Persie’s ankle injury and revealed his thoughts on the need for a replacement. After [...]

Greetings. Some good news today with the revelation that Robin van Persie’s ankle injury will only keep him out 4-6 weeks and not the 2-3 months that I suggested yesterday. The statement comes from the man himself and it means the Dutchman, who only partially tore ligaments in his ankle, may well make it back [...]

A quick International Break round-up before I head off to a birthday breakfast with my family. Robin van Persie was stretchered off after 11 minutes of Holland’s game against Italy with an ankle injury. Dutch TV reported he will be out for 2-3 months after tearing ankle ligaments. It’s awful news for both van Persie [...]

No, I’m not talking about the goals he scored last weekend. Nor am I talking about any of the eight goals he’s scored for us in all competitions this season. I’m talking about these comments he made after getting word that the Arsenal boys are set to face Manchester City in the next round of [...]

Hello again Arsenal FC Bloggers. It feels like forever since I’ve greeted you like an old friend but here I am, wine in hand, doing just that. I have to apologise for the lack of consistent posting over the past fortnight – the holiday to Malaysia saw me take a week offf and since I’ve [...]

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. [...]

There’s only one place to start today and that’s with the very good news that Robin van Persie has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal. While the news is hardly a surprise, it’s certainly good to have it confirmed in order to calm the English tabloids. There’s an excellent interview on with van Persie [...]

First things first, apologies for my absence over the past three days. It was an impromptu break (life gets like that sometimes!) but I’m happy to be back and blogging about Arsenal. Surprisingly there’s been quite a bit going on lately with most of it revolving around Fiorentina’s Felipe Melo. When last I spoke to [...]
