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, [...]
